Abstract
The sialidase inhibitor 4-guanidino-2,4-dideoxy-2,3-dehydro-N- acetylneuraminic acid was tested for growth inhibitory effects against a panel of avian influenza A viruses encompassing all nine neuraminidase subtypes. Growth in tissue culture of viruses from each subtype was inhibited by this compound at concentrations within a range previously found effective against human N1 and N2 viruses. This compound may prove a selective agent for the treatment (and prevention) of influenza virus infections.Entities:
