Abstract

The influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) is an enzyme essential for viral infection and offers a potential target for antiviral drug development. We aimed our research at the synthesis of non-carbohydrate molecules able to inhibit NA as transition-state analogues. Aromatic sialic acid analogues (compound 5 and compound 10) were synthesised in good yields starting from commercially available benzoic acids using a suitable synthetic strategy.
