Question

Inhibitors against this viral enzyme have potential as anti-influenza agents phosphatidylcholine. neuramidase. hemagglutinin. None of theabove O O O O

Answer 1

Ans) Inhibitors against neuraminidase have the potential as anti-influenza agents.So, option 2 is correct.

EXPLANATION:

Neuraminidase is present in the spikes, on the surface of Influenza Virus. Around 20% of the spikes present on the surface of Influenza Virus contain Neuraminidase. This enzyme plays an important role in the release of virus particles from the host cells,i.e, involved in the infection process of the Virus.

So, most anti-influenza agents have Neuraminidase as target and eventually block the replication cycle of the virus by interfering with the Budding ( release of the virus from the host cell) of the virus.
