ABSTRACT
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) presents a formidable viral challenge in swine husbandry. Confronting the constraints of existing veterinary pharmaceuticals and vaccines, this investigation centers on Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) as a prospective clinical suppressant for the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV). The study adopts an integrated methodology to evaluate CAPE's antiviral attributes. This encompasses a dual-phase analysis of CAPE's interaction with PRRSV, both in vitro and in vivo, and an examination of its influence on viral replication. Varied dosages of CAPE were subjected to empirical testing in animal models to quantify its efficacy in combating PRRSV infections. The findings reveal a pronounced antiviral potency, notably in prophylactic scenarios. As a predominant component of propolis, CAPE stands out as a promising candidate for clinical suppression, showing exceptional effectiveness in pre-exposure prophylaxis regimes. This highlights the potential of CAPE in spearheading cutting-edge strategies for the management of future PRRSV outbreaks.
