Impact of the polymerase acidic protein E199K substitution in influenza A viruses on baloxavir susceptibility
3 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Baloxavir marboxil, a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor, was approved in Japan in 2018 for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza. Its active form, baloxavir acid, binds to the polymerase acidic (PA) protein endonuclease domain, inhibiting viral RNA cleavage. PA substitutions (e.g., E23K, I38T, E199G) have been associated with reduced susceptibility to baloxavir. During nationwide monitoring in Japan, we...
