Sialidase inhibitors related to zanamivir. Further SAR studies of 4-amino-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid-6-propylamides

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Mar 12;11(5):669-73. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00019-1.

Abstract

SAR investigations of the 4- and 5-positions of a series of 4-amino-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid 6-carboxamides are reported. Potent inhibitors of influenza A sialidase with marked selectivity over the influenza B enzyme were obtained when the basic 4-amino substituent was replaced by hydroxyl or even deleted. Modifications at the 5-position exhibited a tight steric requirement, with trifluoroacetamide being optimal.
