Abstract

An influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor, its analogs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, derivatives, and mixtures thereof having the following formula: ##STR1## where A is CO.sub.2 H, CO.sub.2 H.sub.3, NO.sub.2, SO.sub.3 H or PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, B is CH, N, O or S, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are H, NO.sub.2 or (CH.sub.m).sub.n X.sub.1 where m=1 or 2, n is an integer from 0 to 4 and X.sub.1 is guanidino, OH, NH.sub.2, SH, NO.sub.2, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, CF.sub.3, CO.sub.2 H, SO.sub.3 H or PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are H, (CH.sub.o).sub.p X.sub.2, (CH.sub.o).sub.p CHX.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X.sub.2, NH(CH.sub.o).sub.p CHX.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X.sub.2, NHCO(CH.sub.o).sub.p CH.sub.2 X.sub.2 or NHCO(CH.sub.o).sub.p CHX.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X.sub.2 where o=1 or 2, p is an integer from 0 to 4 and X.sub.2 is H, guanidino, OH, NH.sub.2, SH, NO.sub.2, CF.sub.3, CO.sub.2 H, SO.sub.3 H or PO.sub.3 H.sub.2 , R.sub.5 =H, OH, NH.sub.2, (CH.sub.k).sub.1 X.sub.3, CO(CH.sub.k).sub.1 X.sub.3, SO(CH.sub.k).sub.1 X.sub.3 or SO.sub.2 (CH.sub.k).sub.1 X.sub.3 where k=1 or 2, 1 is an integer from 0 to 4 and X.sub.3 is guanidino, OH, NH.sub.2, SH, NO.sub.2, CF.sub.3, CO.sub.2 H, SO.sub.3 H or PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, R.sub.6 is H, CH(OH)X.sub.4, CH(NH.sub.2)X.sub.4, COX.sub.4, SOX.sub.4, or SO.sub.2 X.sub.4, where X.sub.4 is H, CH.sub.3, CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2, CH.sub.3 CHCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 or halogen substituted analogs of X.sub.4. The inhibitor in a composition with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A method of inhibiting influenza virus neuraminidase where the inhibitor is administered to a subject in a pharmaceutically acceptable amount along with effective amounts of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of marking a pharmaceutical composition of an acceptable carrier and the inhibitor. Methods of treating and preventing a subject infected with influenza virus (type A or B) using the inhibitor.
