5-bromo-indol-3-ol to give the chromogenic product (13). Deprotection of 13 gave 5-bromo-indol-3-yl 4,7-di-O-methyl-Neu5Ac (5). The product 5 was specifically cleaved by sialidase from either influenza A or influenza B virus to give an indigo-blue precipitate, but was not cleaved by several bacterial or viral sialidases tested. The properties of product 5 relative to a fluorescent substrate for sialidase were also documented
                                    将
N-乙酰神经氨酸(Neu5Ac)转化为甲酯甲基酮苷-8,9-环氧衍
生物(8)。8的甲基化,然后脱保护,得到4,7-二-O-甲基-Neu5Ac(10)。将化合物10转化为相应的甲酯-
氯乙酸甲酯衍
生物,随后将其与5-
溴-
吲哚-3-醇偶联,得到生色产物(13)。13的脱保护得到5-

吲哚-3-基4,7-二-O-甲基-Neu5Ac(5)。产物5被
唾液酸酶特异性地从甲型流感病毒或乙型流感病毒中裂解,得到靛蓝色沉淀,但没有被所测试的几种细菌或病毒
唾液酸酶裂解。还记录了产物5相对于
