Acetylharpagide mitigates the detrimental impact of the duck tembusu virus on BHK-21 cells through the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum apoptosis pathway.
These findings firstly demonstrate the antiviral activities of AHPG against DTMUV, suggesting AHPG possesses mild anti-DTMUV activity and prominent cytoprotective effects against DTMUV-induced cell injury, which renders it a promising cytoprotective candidate for alleviating DTMUV-triggered cellular damage.
