Abstract
The Cytotoxicity indices (IC50) of Keggin’s phosphorus-molybdenum heteropoly acids (HPCAs) and their sodium and potassium salts on dog kidney cells (MDSC) were determined. The antiviral activity of these compounds against topical strains of influenza A (H3N2 and H1N1) was revealed. The dependence of the biological properties of polyoxometalates (POMs) on the elemental composition of their molecules has been confirmed. It has been shown that when some of the molybdenum atoms are replaced by vanadium atoms, HPCA and their salts acquire higher cytotoxicities, which increase monotonically as the number of substitutions increases. For the first time, the dependence of the biological activity of HPCA and their salts on the mass of cations has been established and interpreted. In vivo (on white outbred mice) the values of semi-lethal doses (DL50) of these compounds were established. For aqueous solutions of sodium and potassium salts of GPCA in a wide range of concentrations (from 0.05 μM to 15 μM), the values of the toxicity index (It) were determined on the model of motile cells. It has been established that GPCA and their salts are classified as moderately dangerous toxic substances and have selective antiviral activity, which at low concentrations (less than 15 μM) for influenza A strains is manifested mainly by a decrease in hemagglutination activity (HA).
