Abstract
Neuraminic (sialic) acid based α-C-glycosides have been synthesized and their inhibitory activity towards bacterial neuraminidase (sialidase) was examined. While some C-glycosides were found to be potent inhibitors (K(i) 15-30 μM) of this neuraminidase, others afforded no measurable activity. The structure-activity relationship of these C-glycosides is discussed in the context of other previously reported sialidase inhibitors. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
