Analogues of 4-Guanidino-Neu5Ac2en (Zanamivir) have been prepared containin
g carbamate substituents at the 7-hydroxy position. (4S,SR,6R)-5-Acetylamin
o-6-{1R-[(6-aminohexyl)carbamoyloxyl-2R,3-dihydroxypropyl}-4-guanidino-5,6-
dihydro-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid and (4S,SR,6R)-5-Acetylamino-6-{1R-Chept
ylcarbamoyloxyl-2R,3-dihydroxypropyl}-4-guanidino-5,6-dihydro4H-pyran-2-car
boxylic acid were the two analogues possessing activity comparable to Zanam
ivir, showing potent inhibition of influenza virus sialidases and good anti
viral activity in vitro. (C) 1999 Editions scientifiques ct medicales Elsev
