together, we have identified a new class of anti-influenza compounds with dual molecular targets and good potential to be further developed. Importance The influenza viruses, especially influenza A and B subtypes, cause many deaths each year. The high mutation rate of the virus renders available therapeutics less effective with time. In this work we identify a new class of compounds, structurally similar

threat to public health. To develop a broad-spectrum inhibitor of influenza to combat the problem of drug resistance, we previously identified the highly conserved E339...R416 salt bridge of the nucleoprotein trimer as a target and compound 1 as an inhibitor disrupting the salt bridge with an EC50 = 2.7 μM against influenza A (A/WSN/1933). We have further modified this compound via a structure-based
