Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 4(5), 307–311. Background A novel influenza A (H1N1) virus was isolated from humans in North America and has developed into the first pandemic of the 21st century. Reports of a global shortage of antiviral drugs, the evolution of drug‐resistant influenza virus variants, and a 6‐month delay in vaccine availability underline the need to develop new therapeutics that may be widely distributed during future pandemics. Methods In an effort to discover alternatives to the conventional therapeutic strategies available, we screened several classes of immunomodulatory agents possessing the potential to mitigate the effects of influenza virus‐induced immunopathology. Results Here, we provide preliminary evidence that two classes of drugs, peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ agonists and AMP‐activated protein kinase agonists, provide protection in mice infected with highly pathogenic and pandemic strains of influenza virus. Conclusions The extensive production in the developed world, combined with the significant degree of protection described here, establishes these drugs as a potential therapeutic option that may be broadly implemented to combat serious disease caused by future influenza epidemics or pandemics.
