| Popis | Blocking viral hemagglutinin with multivalent N-acetylneuraminic acid derivatives is a promising approach to prevent influenza infection. Moreover, dual inhibition of both hemagglutinin and neuraminidase may result in a more powerful effect. Since both viral glycoproteins can bind to neuraminic acid, we have prepared three series of amphiphilic self-assembling 2-thio-neuraminic acid derivatives constituting aggregates in aqueous medium to take advantage of their multivalent effect. One of the series was prepared by the azide-alkyne click reaction, and the other two by the thio-click reaction to yield neuraminic acid derivatives containing lipophilic tails of different sizes and an enzymatically stable thioglycosidic bond. Two of the three bis-octyl derivatives produced proved to be active against influenza viruses, while all three octyl derivatives bound to hemagglutinin and neuraminidase from H1N1 and H3N2 influenza types. |
