title: Methyl alpha-glycoside of N-thioacetyl-D-neuraminic acid: a potential inhibitor of influenza A virus. A 1H NMR study.
abstract: The binding of influenza A virus hemagglutinin to its cell surface receptor, alpha-linked 5-N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid), was studied in solution. The effect of structural modifications introduced into the N-acetyl group of the sialic acid on the binding was monitored by determining the dissociation constants by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. Methyl alpha-glycoside of N-thioacetylneuraminic acid showed high, whereas the corresponding N-methylcarbamoylneuraminic acid exhibited relatively low binding affinity towards the hemagglutinin.
