Abstract

Neuraminidase inhibitors can deter nascent viruses from infecting intact cells by preventing their release from host cells. Herein, a neuraminidase inhibitor 11b absent of basic moieties was discovered in the process of searching for inhibitors targeting 150 cavity. It exhibited potent inhibitions against wild-type neuraminidases from group 1 (H5N1 and H1N1) and group 2 (H7N9) subtypes with IC50 values similar to those of oseltamivir carboxylate. Moreover, 11b showed moderate inhibitions against mutant neuraminidases from H5N1-H274Y and H1N1-H274Y with IC50 values of 2075 nM and 1382 nM, which were inferior to those of oseltamivir carboxylate (6095 nM and 4071 nM). The results were not consistent with the recognized SARs that a basic moiety was an indispensable part of a potent inhibitor.
