Thiosialoside clusters using carbosilane dendrimer core scaffolds as a new class of influenza neuraminidase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Feb 1;17(3):717-21. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.10.085. Epub 2006 Nov 1.

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.
