| Background:Seasonal influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus infection.The 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic,the 1957 Asian influenza pandemic,the 1968 Hong Kong influenza pandemic and the 2009 Mexican influenza pandemic have caused serious damage to the social economy and public health.The recent increase activity of IAV in many places in China was caused H1N1 subtype of IAV,posing a major threat to public health.Due to the extremely high variability of influenza viruses,vaccination efficacy is restricted.Anti-influenza medications also face limitations and challenges.Almost all influenza viruses circulating in humans are resistant to alkylamine drugs.The number of commonly used anti-influenza drugs such as neuraminidase inhibitors in clinical are limited.With the widespread use of antiinfluenza drugs in clinical,drug-resistant virus strains continue to emerge,which limits the activity of these existing antiviral drugs.In recent years,a batch of anti-influenza drugs targeting new targets have emerged,such as Xofluza and Favipiravir,but the long-term effect remains to be seen.There is an urgent need to develop more effective antiviral medicines with diverse anti-virus mechanisms since the available antiinfluenza medications still can not fulfill clinical demands and lack variety of antiviral targets.Nanomaterials have unique properties such as water solubility,biocompatibility,low synthesis cost,and low toxicity,which have been widely used in bioimaging,biosensing,biomarkers,photodynamic therapy,and drug delivery.In recent years,more and more researchers have started to discover antiviral drugs from nanomaterials.However,the particle size of some nanomaterials is much smaller than that of the viruses,so the contact area with the viruses is limited,which limits their antiviral activity to some extent.The two-dimensional metal-organic skeleton nanomaterials have the characteristics of large size and high specific surface area,which precisely compensate for the deficiency.The large contact area and the relatively soft,foldable nanosheet structure can greatly improve their interaction with the viruses and thus exhibit better antiviral activity.Copper(Ⅱ)tetracarboxyphenyl porphyrin(Cu-TCPP)is a two-dimensional metal-organic skeleton nanomaterial formed by the coordination of metal ions or clusters with polyhedral organic ligands.Cu-TCPP has the advantages of flexible and adjustable two-dimensional structure,large specific surface area,and porosity,which have been extensively studied in antibacterial and antitumor applications.A highly compatible two-dimensional nanomaterial Cu-TCPP@Mn3O4 was synthesized by the collaborative group.Through the electrostatic adsorption effect,the virus was adsorbed on the surface of two-dimensional MOF,which could effectively reduce the titer of viruses.More importantly,Mn3O4 nanoparticles could effectively clear ROS and down-regulating inflammatory factors to improve the host environment,which may be an attractive therapeutic option in the field of antiviral therapy and is expected to develop into a new generation of antiviral drugs in the future.Objectives:We intend to evaluate the efficacy of Cu-TCPP@Mn3O4 against IAV in vitro and in vivo,analyze the target of Cu-TCPP@Mn3O4 against IAV,and clarify explore the mechanism of Cu-.This
