(2S,4S,5R,6R)-5-acetamido-4-acetyloxy-2-hydroxy-6-[(1R,2R)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl]oxane-2-carboxylic acid Usage And Synthesis

Uses

4-O-Acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic Acid was used to study the inhibition of influenza virus infection in guinea pigs. However, it does not appear to be a potent inhibitor since it is resistant to cleavage by viral sialidase, it may serve to protect the inhibitor from inactivation.

Definition

ChEBI: N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminic acid is a N-acetyl-O-acetylneuraminic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminate.
