Discovery and synthesis of novel benzofurazan derivatives as inhibitors of influenza A virus
摘要:
The identification of a novel hit compound inhibitor of the protein-protein interaction between the influenza RNA-polymerase PA and PB1 subunits has been accomplished by means of high-throughput screening. A small family of structurally related molecules has been synthesized and biologically evaluated with most of the compounds showing micromolar potency of inhibition against viral replication.

The Fight against the Influenza A Virus H1N1: Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, and Biological Evaluation of Benzofurazan Derivatives as Viral RNA Polymerase Inhibitors
The influenzaRNApolymerase complex, which consists of the three subunits PA, PB1, and PB2, is a promising target for the development of new antiviral drugs. A large library of benzofurazan compounds was synthesized and assayed againstinfluenzavirus A/WSN/33 (H1N1). Most of the new derivatives were found to act by inhibiting the viralRNApolymerase complex through disruption of the complex formed
