In the present study, the antiviral activity of the natural compound AVP141-A against SGIV was systematically evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, AVP141-A showed no cytotoxicity to GS cells at concentrations up to 5 mg/mL, and significantly inhibited SGIV replication in a concentration-dependent manner. This inhibitory effect was reflected by attenuated cytopathic effects, reduced transcription of viral genes (MCP and VP19), and decreased expression of the viral MCP protein. AVP141-A downregulated the SGIV-induced overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-ɑ and IL-1β), and modulated the expression and phosphorylation-dependent activation of key factors involved in the MAPK signaling pathway. In vivo, the groupers fed diets supplemented with 0.1% AVP141-A for 28 d exhibited significantly improved survival after SGIV challenge. AVP141-A treatment also alleviated histopathological damage in the spleen and liver, and reduced viral loads in these organs. Furthermore, AVP141-A mitigated intestinal villus atrophy and mucosal damage, inhibited viral replication in the intestine, suppressed excessive intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and upregulated the expression of critical tight-junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1 and Claudin-3). Collectively, the results demonstrate that AVP141-A possesses potent antiviral activity against SGIV by regulating inflammatory responses and preserving intestinal barrier integrity, supporting its potential as a promising antiviral candidate for the prevention and control of SGIV in grouper aquaculture.
