Abstract
Identification of selective influenza viral sialidase inhibitors is highly desirable in order to minimize or avoid the adverse effects due to the possible inhibition of endogenous human sialidases. We recently reported the evaluation of C9 N-acyl Neu5Ac2en mimetics as probes for human sialidases. Herein, we describe the in vitro activity of the same set of C9 N-acyl Neu5Ac2en mimetics against sialidases expressed by influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1), A/Memphis/1/72 (H3N2), and A/Duck/313/78 (H5N3) strains. Compound 8 is identified as a promising starting point for the development of viral sialidase selective inhibitors. Multiple sequence alignment and molecular docking techniques are also performed to explore the plausible interaction of compound 8 with viral sialidases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
