  • Viral attachment inhibitors
    Patent number: 5571836
    Abstract: Viral attachment to target cells is inhibited by novel neuraminic acid compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and acetyl; R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; and Y is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## The novel compounds bind virus particles and are substantially uncleaved by neuraminidase. Coupling of the novel compounds to a polymer further inhibits viral attachment.
