Several novel tricyclic compounds with a unique amine moiety (1, 2a-i) were designed and prepared based on the structure of triperiden for the development of anti-influenza virus agents. An in vitro antiviral assay showed that 1-(1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-5-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(2-tricyclo[3.3.1.13, 7]decyl)methan-1-ol hydrochloride (2f) has a potent anti-influenza A virus activity. Furthermore, since 2f was well tolerated in mice, 2f is promising as a novel anti-influenza virus agent for humans.
