Journal ArticleDOI

Rational design of potent sialidase-based inhibitors of influenza virus replication.

TL;DR: Two potent inhibitors based on the crystal structure of influenza virus sialidase have been designed and provide an example of the power of rational, computer-assisted drug design, indicating significant progress in the development of a new therapeutic or prophylactic treatment for influenza infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unravelling the Role of O-glycans in Influenza A Virus Infection

TL;DR: It is suggested that sialylated Galβ(1,3)GalNAc as O-glycan core 1 glycoforms are involved in the influenza A virus life cycle and play a particularly crucial role during infection of HPAI strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

The war against influenza: discovery and development of sialidase inhibitors.

TL;DR: A historical perspective on the discovery and development of two inhibitors of sialidase — zanamivir and oseltamiviral — is provided and highlights the value of structure-based drug design in this process.
