neuraminidase (NA), but resistant viruses containing mutant NAs with diminished drug affinity are increasingly emerging. Using the structural knowledge of both drug-binding sites and their spatial arrangement on the homotetrameric NA, we have developed a tetravalent zanamivir (TZ) molecule that exhibited marked increases in NA binding affinity, inhibition of NA enzyme activity, and in vitro plus in vivo antiviral
扎那米韦和奥司他韦是靶向病毒神经氨酸酶(NA)的主要流感抗病毒药物,但是越来越多的人出现了含有突变NA且耐药性降低的抗性病毒。利用两种药物结合位点的结构知识以及它们在同四聚体NA上的空间排列,我们开发了一种四价扎那米韦(TZ)分子,该分子在NA结合亲和力,NA酶活性的抑制以及体外和体内均显着增加。优于扎那米韦的抗病毒功效。TZ可以抵抗人类季节性H3N2和禽类H7N9病毒,包括抗药性突变体。带有TZ的抗性N9 NA的晶体结构说明了该功能,该结果表明四个zanamivir残基同时与NA的所有四个单体结合。本研究中描述的TZ设计方法可能对开发靶向具有多个结合位点的蛋白质的药物或配体有用。TZ的强力抗流感活性使其对进一步开发具有吸引力。
