The present disclosure relates to anti-fibrotic sialidase-inhibitor compounds and methods of preventing or inhibiting fibrosis using such compounds. The present disclosure also relates to methods of controlling the formation of fibrocytes or their activity using such compounds. The compounds may include both antibodies as well as small molecules. The methods may involve administering the compounds to a patient with or at risk of developing fibrosis in a manner that inhibits at least one sialidase in the patient.
Human sialidase inhibitors: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 4-acetamido-5-acylamido-2-fluoro benzoic acids
virtual screening was performed to find a new class of human sialidaseinhibitors using the experimental crystal structure of NEU2 isoform. A few of nitro benzene and fluoro benzoic acid were identified and a series of 4-acetamido-5-acylamido-2-fluoro benzoic acids were synthesized and, the inhibitory activity of all these compounds against all human sialidase enzymes was evaluated. All these compounds
