Abstract
An efficient synthesis of a series of carbosilane dendrimers uniformly functionalized with alpha-thioglycoside of sialic acid was accomplished. The results of a preliminary study on biological responses against influenza virus sialidases using thiosialoside clusters showed that some of the glycodendrimers have inhibitory potencies against the sialidases.
