โฆ Synopsis
The 9-amino or 9-N-acyl-5-trifluoroacetyl methyl alpha-ketosides (1a-c) and their 2,3-didehydro analogs (2a-c) have been synthesized through Neu5Ac aldolase-catalyzed aldol reaction of 6-azido-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-D-mannose with sodium pyruvate. The six compounds were investigated as inhibitors of sialidase from influenza virus. Compound 2b, a 2,3-didehydro type, showed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 > 7.8 microM) against the enzyme, whereas, compounds 1a-c as the methyl alpha-glycosides were found to be practically inactive (IC50 > 100 microM).

Thiomethylmercuryl 9-acetamido-9-deoxy-sialoside was prepared and found to inhibit the 9-O-acetylsialic acid esterase from influenza C virus in a competitive manner with a K~ of 4.2+0.5 mM. The inhibitor is being used in the X-ray determination of the crystal structure of the esterase.
