Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Background In the medical field, the need for new antiviral treatments against influenza is quite large and extremely urgent. The influenza virus is the causative agent of influenza, i.e., flu, and is responsible for 3 million to 5 million severe cases of illness and approximately 500,000 deaths worldwide every year. Most people recover completely from influenza in about 1 to 2 weeks, but others develop life-threatening complications such as pneumonia. For this reason, influenza can be life-threatening, especially for the young, the elderly, or those with chronic diseases. People with a weak or depressed immune system, such as people with advanced HIV infection, or transplant patients whose immune system is medically suppressed to prevent organ rejection, are at a higher risk of influenza-related complications. Pregnant women and young children are also at high risk of complications.
[0002] The development of antiviral treatments against influenza has continued to be a challenge. Some influenza antiviral agents are approved for use in clinics, and these drugs play an important role in modulating disease severity and putting a stop to global pandemics while the vaccine is being prepared. However, drug-resistant strains have emerged against the most commonly used inhibitors.
[0003] Influenza antiviral agents generally target proteins presented on the surface of influenza virus particles. The envelope of the influenza virus contains hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, two immunodominant glycoproteins that play important roles in virus infection and spread. Hemagglutinin causes the virus to bind to host cells through its interaction with surface sialic acid, thereby initiating entry. Neuraminidase is an exoglycosidase enzyme that cleaves sialic acid (terminal neuraminic acid residues) from the glycan structures on the surface of infected host cells, releasing progeny virus and enabling virus spread from the host cell to surrounding uninfected cells. Therefore, inhibition of neuraminidase serves as a pharmacological target for antiviral drugs. Virus neuraminidase inhibitors used to reduce virus spread have been identified and include oseltamivir (Tamiflu (trademark)), zanamivir (Relenza (trademark)), and peramivir (Rapivab (trademark)).
[0004] However, influenza in transplant recipients still features long-term virus shedding, increasing the likelihood of generating drug-resistant strains. New and more effective therapies for treating influenza are needed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present disclosure relates to conjugates, compositions and methods for inhibiting viral growth and methods for treating viral infections. Specifically, such conjugates contain a monomer or dimer of a moiety that inhibits influenza virus neuraminidase (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir or an analog thereof) conjugated to an Fc monomer, an Fc domain, an Fc binding peptide, an albumin protein or an albumin protein binding peptide. The neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir or an analog thereof) in the conjugate is directed to neuraminidase on the surface of the viral particle. The Fc monomer or Fc domain in the complex binds to FcγR (e.g., FcRn, FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIIb) on immune cells, e.g., neutrophils, activating phagocytosis and effector functions, e.g., antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), thus leading to engulfment and destruction of viral particles by immune cells, further enhancing the antiviral activity of the complex. Albumin or albumin-binding peptides may extend the half-life of the complex, e.g., by binding of albumin to the recycling fetal Fc receptor. Such compositions are useful in methods of inhibiting viral growth and in methods of treating viral infections, e.g., those due to influenza A, B and C viruses.

Chemical formula
[0042] In some embodiments of any of the complexes described herein, the complex forms a homodimer that includes an Fc domain. In some embodiments of the complexes described herein, E homodimerizes with another E to form an Fc domain.
[0043] In another aspect, the present invention provides a complex represented by (D-I):
Chemical formula
[0044] In the above preferred embodiment, x is 2.
[0045] In another aspect, the present invention provides a complex represented by formula (M-I):
Chemical formula
[0046] In some embodiments, each E contains an albumin protein having any one of the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 139 to 141.
[0047] In some embodiments, T is 1, and L-A1 is covalently bonded to the sulfur atom corresponding to Cys34 of SEQ ID NO: 139.
[0048] The intermediate of Table 1a can be conjugated to the Fc domain or Fc domain monomer (e.g., by a linker) by any suitable method known to those skilled in the art, including any of the methods described or exemplified herein. In some embodiments, the conjugate (e.g., a conjugate represented by any one of formulas (1), (2), (D-I)-(D-XI), or (M-I)-(M-XI)) comprises E, where E is an Fc domain monomer or Fc domain (e.g., an Fc domain monomer or Fc domain in which each Fc domain monomer independently has a sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-138). In a preferred embodiment, one or more nitrogen atoms of one or more surface-exposed lysine residues of E, or one or more sulfur atoms of one or more surface-exposed cysteines in E, are covalently bonded to a linker (e.g., PEG2-PEG 20 linker). The linker conjugated to E can be functionalized such that it can react to form a covalent bond with any of the Ints described herein (e.g., Int of Table 1a). In a preferred embodiment, E is conjugated to a linker functionalized with an azide group, and Int (e.g., Int of Table 1a) is functionalized with an alkyne group. The conjugation of the linker-azide of E and the linker-alkyne of Int (e.g., by click chemistry) forms the conjugate of the present invention, e.g., a conjugate represented by formula (5). In yet other embodiments, E is conjugated to a linker functionalized with an alkyne group, and Int (e.g., Int of Table 1a) is functionalized with an azide group. The conjugation of the linker-alkyne of E and the linker-azide of Int (e.g., by click chemistry; e.g., see Figure 103) forms the conjugate of the present invention, e.g., a conjugate represented by any one of formulas (1), (2), (D-I)-(D-XI), or (M-I)-(M-XI). [Table 1] TIFF2025108559000025.tif241170TIFF2025108559000026.tif202170TIFF2025108559000027.tif238170TIFF2025108559000028.tif230170TIFF2025108559000029.tif225170TIFF2025108559000030.tif227170TIFF2025108559000031.tif247170TIFF2025108559000032.tif216170TIFF2025108559000033.tif197170TIFF2025108559000034.tif244170TIFF2025108559000035.tif247170TIFF2025108559000036.tif219170TIFF2025108559000037.tif230170TIFF2025108559000038.tif232170TIFF2025108559000039.tif248170TIFF2025108559000040.tif241170TIFF2025108559000041.tif119170
[0049] In another aspect, the present invention features the conjugates of Table 1b. Each conjugate of Table 1b corresponds to a conjugate of either formula (M-I) or formula (D-I) shown. The conjugates of Table 1b include conjugates formed by the covalent reaction of Int of Table 1a with a linker, which in turn complexes with E (e.g., an Fc domain monomer, an albumin protein, an albumin protein-binding peptide, or an Fc-binding peptide). In some embodiments, the reactive moiety of Int (e.g., an alkyne or azide group) reacts with the corresponding reactive group (e.g., an alkyne or azide group) of the linker (represented as L’) covalently attached to E so as to covalently bind Int of Table 1a to E. As shown in Table 1b, L’ corresponds to the remainder of L as defined in (M-1) or (D-I) (e.g., L’ is the linker that covalently binds Int and E). For example, L’ can include a triazole (formed by a click chemistry reaction between Int and the linker complexed with E), and a linker (e.g., PEG2 to PEG 20 linker), which in turn complexes with the amino acid side chain of E (see, for example, FIG. 103).
[0050] In some embodiments, in the conjugates of Table 1b, n is 1 or 2. When n is 1, each E includes an Fc domain monomer (e.g., an Fc domain monomer having any one of the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 138), an albumin protein (e.g., an albumin protein having any one of the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 139 to 141), an albumin protein-binding peptide, or an Fc-binding peptide. When n is 2, each E includes an Fc domain monomer (e.g., an Fc domain monomer having any one of the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 138), and the Fc domain monomers dimerize to form an Fc domain.
[0051] In some embodiments of any of the complexes of Table 1b, T is an integer from 1 to 20 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20). The present disclosure further provides any population of the complexes of Table 2, where the average value of T is from 1 to 20 (e.g., the average value of T is from 1 to 2, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 5 to 10, from 10 to 15, from 15 to 20, from 1.5 to 3.5, from 2.5 to 4.5, from 3.5 to 5.5, from 4.5 to 6.5, from 5.5 to 7.5, from 6.5 to 8.5, from 7.5 to 9.5, or from 8.5 to 10.5).

In one embodiment, the average T is from 1 to 5 (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, or 5). In some embodiments, the average T is from 5 to 10 (e.g., 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 9, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, or 10).In some embodiments, the average T is from 2.5 to 7.5 (e.g., 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5).
[0052] The wavy lines in the complexes of Table 1b represent that each L'-Int is covalently bound to an amino acid side chain in E (e.g., the nitrogen atom of a surface-exposed lysine in E or the sulfur atom of a surface-exposed cysteine in E) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The terms defined herein have the meanings generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as "a", "an", and "the" are not intended to refer only to singular entities, but include general classes for which specific examples may be used for illustration. The technical terms herein are used to describe specific embodiments of the present invention, but their usage does not limit the present invention, except when defined within the claims.
[0521] The term "neuraminidase inhibitor" or "viral neuraminidase inhibitor", as used herein, refers to a compound that reduces the activity of the enzyme influenza virus neuraminidase (e.g., from influenza A, B, or C virus). Neuraminidase inhibitors can be identified by methods known to those of skill in the art, such as a reduction in virus replication in an influenza virus plaque reduction assay, for example, at a concentration of less than 20 μM (e.g., less than 10 μM, less than 5 μM, less than 2 μM, less than 1 μM, less than 500 nM, or less than 100 nM). Viral neuraminidase inhibitors known to those of skill in the art include zanamivir, sulfozanamivir, peramivir, and A-315675 (Abbott) (see, for example, Hadhazi et al. A sulfozanamivir analogue has potent anti-influenza virus activity. ChemMedChem Comm. 13:785-789 (2018), and In vitro characterization of A-315675, a highly potent inhibitor of A and B strain of influenza virus neuraminidases and influenza virus replication. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 46(4):1014-1021 (2002)). The viral neuraminidase inhibitors of the present invention include zanamivir, sulfozanamivir, peramivir, A-315675, and analogs thereof, for example, of formula (A-I)-(A-XIII): [Chemical formula] [wherein, R1 is selected from -OH, -NH2, -NHC(=NH)NH2, and -NHC(=NH)NHR6; R2 and R3 are each independently selected from -H, -OH, -F, -Cl, and -Br; R4 is selected from -CO2H, -P(=O)(OH)2, -SO3H; R5 is selected from -COCH3, -COCF3, -SO2CH3; X is selected from -O- and -S-; Y is [Chem.] selected from, and R6 is [Chem.] selected from, R7 is selected from H, C1-C20 alkyl, C3-C20 cycloalkyl, C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, C5-C15 aryl, and C2-C15 heteroaryl, R8 is selected from C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, C5-C15 aryl, and C2-C15 heteroaryl, R9 is -H, halogen (e.g., Cl, F or Br), -OR 10 , -NHC(=O)R7, optionally substituted C1-C20 alkyl, C3-C20 cycloalkyl, C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, C5-C15 aryl, and C2-C15 heteroaryl, and R 10 is selected from C1-C20 alkyl, C3-C20 cycloalkyl, C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, C5-C15 aryl, and C2-C15 heteroaryl). contains a viral neuraminidase inhibitor of
[0522] As used herein, the term "inhibiting neuraminidase activity" means an IC 50 of 1,000 nM or less when measured according to, for example, the neuraminidase inhibition assay in Example 2 herein. Specifically, IC 50 represents the concentration of an influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor required for 50% inhibition in vitro. In some embodiments, an IC 50 by the neuraminidase inhibition assay of 100 nM or less or 10 nM or less suggests that the compound is inhibiting neuraminidase activity.
[0523] "Viral infectious disease" means the growth of a virus (e.g., influenza virus) that is pathogenic in a host organism (e.g., a human subject). A viral infectious disease can be any situation where the presence of a virus population (multiple possible) is damaging to the host's body. Thus, a subject is "suffering from" a viral infectious disease when an excessive amount of virus population is present in or on the subject's body, or when the presence of the virus population (multiple possible) is damaging to the subject's cells or other tissues.
[0524] As used herein, the term "Fc domain monomer" refers to at least the hinge domain and the second and third antibody constant domains (C H 2 and C H3) or a polypeptide chain comprising such functional fragments thereof (e.g., (i) fragments capable of dimerizing with another Fc domain monomer to form an Fc domain and (ii) fragments capable of binding to an Fc receptor). The Fc domain monomer can be any immunoglobulin antibody isotype including IgG, IgE, IgM, IgA or IgD (e.g., IgG). In addition, the Fc domain monomer can be an IgG subtype (e.g., IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3 or IgG4) (e.g., IgG1). The Fc domain monomer does not contain any portion of an immunoglobulin that can act as an antigen recognition region, such as a variable domain or a complementarity determining region (CDR). The Fc domain monomer in the complexes described herein can contain one or more alterations (e.g., 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4 amino acid substitutions, additions or deletions) from the wild-type Fc domain monomer sequence that alter the interaction between the Fc domain and the Fc receptor. Examples of suitable alterations are known in the art. In certain embodiments, the human Fc domain monomer (e.g., an IgG heavy chain, e.g., IgG1) includes the region extending from any of Asn208, Glu216, Asp221, Lys222 or Cys226 to the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain at Lys447. The C-terminal Lys447 of the Fc region may or may not be present without affecting the structure or stability of the Fc region. The C-terminal Lys447 can be proteolytically cleaved during polypeptide expression. In some embodiments of any of the Fc domain monomers described herein, the C-terminal Lys447 is optionally present or absent. The present disclosure specifically contemplates any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-4, 11, 16, 19, 20, 32-37, 48-53, and 60-68 that do not include a C-terminal Lys corresponding to Lys447. The N-terminal N (Asn) of the Fc region (e.g., any one of SEQ ID NOs: 60-77) may or may not be present without affecting the structure or stability of the Fc region. The N-terminal Asn can be deamidated during polypeptide expression. In some embodiments of any of the Fc domain monomers described herein, the N-terminal Asn is optionally present or absent.The present disclosure contemplates, in particular, any of SEQ ID NOs: 60-77 that do not contain an N-terminal Asn. Unless otherwise specified herein, the numbering of amino acid residues in an IgG or Fc domain monomer follows the EU numbering system for antibodies, also referred to as the Kabat EU index, as described, for example, in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.
[0525] As used herein, the term "Fc domain" refers to a dimer of two Fc domain monomers that can bind to an Fc receptor. In the wild-type Fc domain, the two Fc domain monomers dimerize by interaction between the two C H 3 antibody constant domains, and in some embodiments, one or more disulfide bonds are formed between the hinge domains of the two dimerized Fc domain monomers. The term "covalently bound" means that the two parts of the complex are connected to each other by a covalent bond formed between two atoms in the two parts of the complex.
[0526] As used herein, the term "Fc-binding peptide" refers to a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of 5 to 50 (e.g., 5 to 40, 5 to 30, 5 to 20, 5 to 15, 5 to 10, 10 to 50, 10 to 30, or 10 to 20) amino acid residues that has an affinity and binding function for an Fc domain, such as any of the Fc domains described herein. The Fc-binding peptide can be of various origins, for example, it can be of synthetic, human, mouse, or rat origin. The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention include Fc-binding peptides engineered to contain one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5) solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine residues that can provide a site for complexation with a compound of the present invention (e.g., complexation with a neuraminidase inhibitor monomer or dimer, including cases with a linker). It would be most preferred that the Fc-binding peptide contains a single solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine, thereby enabling site-specific complexation of the compound of the present invention. The Fc-binding peptide may contain only naturally occurring amino acid residues or may contain one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues), when included, can be used as a binding point for a compound of the present invention (e.g., a neuraminidase inhibitor monomer or dimer, including cases with a linker). The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention may be linear or cyclic. The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention include any Fc-binding peptides known to those skilled in the art.
[0527] As used herein, the term "albumin protein" refers to a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence corresponding to a naturally occurring albumin protein (e.g., human serum albumin) or a variant thereof, such as an engineered variant of a naturally occurring albumin protein. Variants of albumin protein include polymorphisms, fragments such as domains and subdomains, and fusion proteins (e.g., albumin protein fused at the C-terminus or N-terminus, e.g., having a polypeptide linker). Preferably, the albumin protein has the amino acid sequence of human serum albumin (HSA), or a variant or fragment thereof, most preferably a functional variant or fragment thereof. The albumin proteins of the present invention include proteins having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity with any one of SEQ ID NOs: 139-141. The albumin proteins of the present invention include albumin proteins engineered to contain one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4 or 5) solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine residues that can provide a site for complexation with a compound of the present invention (e.g., complexation with a neuraminidase inhibitor monomer or dimer, including by means of a linker). Most preferably, the albumin protein contains a single solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine, thereby enabling site-specific complexation of the compounds of the present invention. The albumin protein may contain only naturally occurring amino acid residues or may contain one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues), if included, can be used as attachment points for the compounds of the present invention (e.g., neuraminidase inhibitor monomers or dimers, including by means of a linker).
[0528] As used herein, the term "albumin protein binding peptide" refers to a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of 5 to 50 (e.g., 5 to 40, 5 to 30, 5 to 20, 5 to 15, 5 to 10, 10 to 50, 10 to 30, or 10 to 20) amino acid residues that has an affinity and binding function for an albumin protein, such as any of the albumin proteins described herein. Preferably, the albumin protein binding peptide binds to a naturally occurring serum albumin, most preferably human serum albumin. The albumin protein binding peptide can be of various origins, for example, it can be of synthetic, human, mouse, or rat origin. The albumin protein binding peptides of the present invention include those that have been engineered to contain one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5) solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine residues that can provide a site for complexation with a compound of the present invention (e.g., complexation with a neuraminidase inhibitor monomer or dimer, including when by a linker). Most preferably, the albumin protein binding peptide contains a single solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine, thereby enabling site-specific complexation of the compound of the present invention. The albumin protein binding peptide may contain only naturally occurring amino acid residues, or may contain one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues), when included, can be used as a point of attachment for a compound of the present invention (e.g., a neuraminidase inhibitor monomer or dimer, including when by a linker). The albumin protein binding peptides of the present invention may be linear or cyclic. The albumin protein binding peptides of the present invention include any albumin protein binding peptides known to those skilled in the art, examples of which are provided herein. Further exemplary albumin protein binding peptides are shown in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005 / 0287153, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0529] As used herein, the terms "surface-exposed amino acid" or "solvent-exposed amino acid", e.g., surface-exposed cysteine or surface-exposed lysine, refer to an amino acid capable of contacting the solvent surrounding the protein. The surface-exposed amino acid may be a naturally occurring one or may be an engineered variant of the protein (e.g., a substitution or an insertion). In some embodiments, the surface-exposed amino acid is an amino acid that, when substituted, does not substantially change the three-dimensional structure of the protein.
[0530] The terms "linker", "L" and "L'", as used herein, refer to a covalent linkage or linker between two or more components in a complex (e.g., between two neuraminidase inhibitors in the complex described herein, between a neuraminidase inhibitor and an Fc domain or albumin protein in the complex described herein, and between a dimer of two neuraminidase inhibitors and an Fc domain or albumin protein in the complex described herein). In some embodiments, the complex described herein may contain a linker having a trivalent structure (e.g., a trivalent linker). The trivalent linker has three arms, each arm being covalently linked to a component of the complex (e.g., the first arm is complexed with a first neuraminidase inhibitor, the second arm is complexed with a second neuraminidase inhibitor, and the third arm is complexed with an Fc domain or albumin protein).
[0531] Molecules that can be used as linkers can have at least two functional groups, which can be the same or different, such as two carboxylic acid groups, two amine groups, two sulfonic acid groups, a carboxylic acid group and a maleimide group, a carboxylic acid group and an alkyne group, a carboxylic acid group and an amine group, a carboxylic acid group and a sulfonic acid group, an amine group and a maleimide group, an amine group and an alkyne group, or an amine group and a sulfonic acid group. The first functional group can form a covalent linkage with the first component in the complex, and the second functional group can form a covalent linkage with the second component in the complex. In some embodiments of the trivalent linker, the two arms of the linker can contain two dicarboxylic acids, where the first carboxylic acid can form a covalent linkage with the first neuraminidase inhibitor in the complex, the second carboxylic acid can form a covalent linkage with the second neuraminidase inhibitor in the complex, and the third arm of the linker can be for a covalent linkage with the Fc domain or albumin protein in the complex. Examples of dicarboxylic acids are further described herein. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more maleimide groups can be used as a linker, in which case the maleimide group can form a carbon-sulfur linkage with a cysteine in a component (such as the Fc domain or albumin protein) in the complex. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more alkyne groups can be used as a linker, in which case the alkyne group can form a 1,2,3-triazole linkage with an azide in a component (such as the Fc domain or albumin protein) in the complex. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more azide groups can be used as a linker, in which case the azide group can form a 1,2,3-triazole linkage with an alkyne in a component (such as the Fc domain or albumin protein) in the complex. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more bissulfone groups can be used as a linker, in which case the bissulfone group can form a linkage with an amine group of a component (such as the Fc domain or albumin protein) in the complex.In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more sulfonic acid groups can be used as a linker, in which case the sulfonic acid groups can form sulfonamide linkages with components in the complex. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more isocyanate groups can be used as a linker, in which case the isocyanate groups can form urea linkages with components in the complex. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more haloalkyl groups can be used as a linker, in which case the haloalkyl groups can form covalent linkages with components in the complex, such as C-N and C-O linkages.
[0532] In some embodiments, the linker provides space, rigidity, and / or flexibility between two or more components. In some embodiments, the linker can be a bond, such as a covalent bond. The term "bond" refers to a chemical bond, such as an amide bond, a disulfide bond, a C-O bond, a C-N bond, an N-N bond, a C-S bond, or any type of bond created by a chemical reaction, such as a chemical complex. In some embodiments, the linker contains 250 or fewer atoms. In some embodiments, the linker contains 250 or fewer non-hydrogen atoms. In some embodiments, the backbone of the linker contains 250 or fewer atoms. The "backbone" of the linker refers to the atoms in the linker that together form the shortest path from one part of the complex to another part of the complex (e.g., the shortest path connecting a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor). The atoms in the backbone of the linker are directly involved in connecting one part of the complex to another part of the complex (e.g., connecting a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor). For example, a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon in the backbone of the linker is not considered to be directly involved in connecting one part of the complex to another part of the complex.
[0533] In some embodiments, the linker may include a synthetic group derived from, for example, a synthetic polymer (such as a polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer). In some embodiments, the linker may include one or more amino acid residues, such as D- or L-amino acid residues. In some embodiments, the linker may be a residue of an amino acid sequence (e.g., a 1-25 amino acid, 1-10 amino acid, 1-9 amino acid, 1-8 amino acid, 1-7 amino acid, 1-6 amino acid, 1-5 amino acid, 1-4 amino acid, 1-3 amino acid, 1-2 amino acid, or 1 amino acid sequence). In some embodiments, the linker may be one or more, e.g., 1-100, 1-50, 1-25, 1-10, 1-5, or 1-3 optionally substituted alkylene, optionally substituted heteroalkylene (such as a PEG unit), optionally substituted alkenylene, optionally substituted heteroalkenylene, optionally substituted alkynylene, optionally substituted heteroalkynylene, optionally substituted cycloalkylene, optionally substituted heterocycloalkylene, optionally substituted cycloalkenylene, optionally substituted heterocycloalkenylene, optionally substituted cycloalkynylene, optionally substituted heterocycloalkynylene, optionally substituted arylene, optionally substituted heteroarylene (such as pyridine), O, S, NR i (R iis H, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted heteroalkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted heteroalkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkynyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkynyl, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl), P, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfonyl, phosphate, phosphoryl or imino. For example, the linker may comprise one or more optionally substituted C1-C20 alkylene, optionally substituted C1-C20 heteroalkylene (e.g., PEG units), optionally substituted C2-C20 alkenylene (e.g., C2 alkenylene), optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkenylene, optionally substituted C2-C20 alkynylene, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkynylene, optionally substituted C3-C20 cycloalkylene (e.g., cyclopropylene, cyclobutylene), optionally substituted C3-C20 heterocycloalkylene, optionally substituted C4-C20 cycloalkenylene, optionally substituted C4-C20 heterocycloalkenylene, optionally substituted C8-C20 cycloalkynylene, optionally substituted C8-C20 heterocycloalkynylene, optionally substituted C5-C15 arylene (e.g., C6 arylene), optionally substituted C2-C15 heteroarylene (e.g., imidazole, pyridine), O, S, NR i (R iis H, optionally substituted C1-C20 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-C20 heteroalkyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 alkenyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkenyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 alkynyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkynyl, optionally substituted C3-C20 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted C4-C20 cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C4-C20 heterocycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C8-C20 cycloalkynyl, optionally substituted C8-C20 heterocycloalkynyl, optionally substituted C5-C15 aryl, or optionally substituted C2-C15 heteroaryl), P, and may contain carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfonyl, phosphate, phosphoryl or imino.
[0534] As used herein, the terms "alkyl", "alkenyl" and "alkynyl" include straight-chain and branched-chain monovalent substituents and combinations thereof that contain only C and H when unsubstituted. When an alkyl group contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond or carbon-carbon triple bond, the alkyl group can be referred to as an "alkenyl" or "alkynyl" group, respectively. The fact that an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group is monovalent does not include the case where an optional substituent is attached to the alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group. For example, when an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group is bonded to a compound, the fact that the alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group is monovalent means that it is bonded to the compound and does not contain any additional substituents that may be present on the alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group. In some embodiments, an alkyl or heteroalkyl group can contain, for example, 1 to 20, 1 to 18, 1 to 16, 1 to 14, 1 to 12, 1 to 10, 1 to 8, 1 to 6, 1 to 4, or 1 to 2 carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C20, C1-C18, C1-C16, C1-C14, C1-C12, C1-C10, C1-C8, C1-C6, C1-C4, or C1-C2). In some embodiments, an alkenyl, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl or heteroalkynyl group can contain, for example, 2 to 20, 2 to 18, 2 to 16, 2 to 14, 2 to 12, 2 to 10, 2 to 8, 2 to 6, or 2 to 4 carbon atoms (e.g., C2-C20, C2-C18, C2-C16, C2-C14, C2-C12, C2-C10, C2-C8, C2-C6, or C2-C4). Examples include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, 2-propenyl, and 3-butynyl.
[0535] As used herein, the term "cycloalkyl" refers to a monovalent saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic cyclic alkyl group. Cycloalkyl can have, for example, 3 to 20 carbons (e.g., C3-C7, C3-C8, C3-C9, C3-C10, C3-C11, C3-C12, C3-C14, C3-C16, C3-C18, or C3-C20 cycloalkyl). Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl. When a cycloalkyl group contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond, the cycloalkyl group can be referred to as a "cycloalkenyl" group. Cycloalkenyl can have, for example, 4 to 20 carbons (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C4-C20 cycloalkenyl). Exemplary cycloalkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, and cycloheptenyl. When a cycloalkyl group contains at least one carbon-carbon triple bond, the cycloalkyl group can be referred to as a "cycloalkynyl" group. Cycloalkynyl can have, for example, 8 to 20 carbons (e.g., C8-C9, C8-C10, C8-C11, C8-C12, C8-C14, C8-C16, C8-C18, or C8-C20 cycloalkynyl). The term "cycloalkyl" also includes cyclic compounds having a bridged polycyclic structure in which one or more carbons bridge two non-adjacent constitutive members of a monocyclic ring, such as bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl and adamantane. The term "cycloalkyl" also includes bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic fused ring structures, such as decalin and spirocyclic compounds.
[0536] As used herein, the term "aryl" refers to any monocyclic or fused bicyclic or tricyclic system having aromatic characteristics with respect to the electron distribution throughout the ring system, such as phenyl, naphthyl or phenanthrene. In some embodiments, the ring system contains 5 to 15 ring member atoms or 5 to 10 ring member atoms. An aryl group can have, for example, 5 to 15 carbons (e.g., C5-C6, C5-C7, C5-C8, C5-C9, C5-C10, C5-C11, C5-C12, C5-C13, C5-C14, or C5-C15 aryl). The term "heteroaryl" also refers to such monocyclic or fused bicyclic systems containing one or more selected from O, S and N, for example, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms. A heteroaryl group can have, for example, 2 to 15 carbons (e.g., C2-C3, C2-C4, C2-C5, C2-C6, C2-C7, C2-C8, C2-C9, C2-C10, C2-C11, C2-C12, C2-C13, C2-C14, or C2-C15 heteroaryl). By including heteroatoms, it becomes possible to consider a 5-membered ring including a 6-membered ring as aromatic as well. Thus, typical heteroaryl systems include, for example, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzotriazolyl, isoquinolyl, quinolinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzofuranyl, thienyl, furyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzoisoxazolyl and imidazolyl. Groups such as phthalimide are also considered heteroaryl because of the possibility of tautomers. In some embodiments, an aryl or heteroaryl group optionally containing 1 to 2 nitrogen atoms is a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring system. In some embodiments, the aryl or heteroaryl group is optionally substituted phenyl, pyridyl, indolyl, pyrimidyl, pyridazinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzimidazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl or imidazopyridinyl. In some embodiments, the aryl group is phenyl. In some embodiments, the aryl group can be optionally substituted with substituents such as aryl substituents, for example biphenyl.
[0537] The term "alkaryl" refers to an aryl group linked to an alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene group. When a compound is attached to an alkaryl group, generally, the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene portion of the alkaryl is attached to the compound. In some embodiments, the alkaryl is C6-C35 alkaryl (e.g., C6-C16, C6-C14, C6-C12, C6-C10, C6-C9, C6-C8, C7 or C6 alkaryl), where the number of carbons represents the total number of carbons of both the aryl portion of the alkaryl and the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene portion. Examples of alkaryl include, but are not limited to, (C1-C8)alkylene(C6-C12)aryl, (C2-C8)alkenylene(C6-C12)aryl, or (C2-C8)alkynylene(C6-C12)aryl. In some embodiments, the alkaryl is benzyl or phenethyl. In heteroalkaryl, one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O and S may be present in the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene portion of the alkaryl group and / or in the aryl portion of the alkaryl group. In optionally substituted alkaryl, the substituents may be present on the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene portion of the alkaryl group and / or on the aryl portion of the alkaryl group.
[0538] The term "amino" as used herein represents -N(R x )2, or -N + (R x )3, wherein each R x is independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkaryl, cycloalkyl, or two R x combine to form a heterocycloalkyl. In some embodiments, the amino group is -NH2.
[0539] The term "alkamino" as used herein refers to an amino group in which the amino group is bonded to an alkylene (e.g., C1-C5 alkylene), alkenylene (e.g., C2-C5 alkenylene) or alkynylene group (e.g., C2-C5 alkynylene). When a compound is bonded to an alkanino group, generally, the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene moiety of the alkanino is bonded to the compound. The amino moiety of the alkanino is -N(R x )2, or -N + (R x )3, where each R x is independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, or two R x combine to form a heterocycloalkyl. In some embodiments, the amino moiety of the alkanino is -NH2. An example of an alkanino group is C1-C5 alkanino, such as C2 alkanino (e.g., CH2CH2NH2 or CH2CH2N(CH3)2). In a heteroalkanino group, one or more, e.g., 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms selected from N, O and S may be present in the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene moiety of the heteroalkanino group. In some embodiments, the alkanino group may be optionally substituted. In a substituted alkanino group, the substituent may be present in the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene moiety of the alkanino group and / or on the amino moiety of the alkanino group.
[0540] The term "alkanamide" as used herein refers to an amide group in which the amide group is bonded to an alkylene (e.g., C1-C5 alkylene), alkenylene (e.g., C2-C5 alkenylene) or alkynylene (e.g., C2-C5 alkynylene) group. When a compound is bonded to an alkanamide group, generally, the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene moiety of the alkanamide is bonded to the compound. The amide moiety of the alkanamide is -C(O)-N(R x )2, where each R xis independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, or two Rs x combine to form heterocycloalkyl. In some embodiments, the amide portion of the alkamide is -C(O)NH2. The alkamide group can be -(CH2)2-C(O)NH2 or -CH2-C(O)NH2. In the heteroalkamide group, one or more, for example, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S can be present in the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene portion of the heteroalkamide group. In some embodiments, the alkamide group may optionally be substituted. In the substituted alkamide group, the substituent may be present in the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene portion of the alkamide group and / or on the amide portion of the alkamide group.
[0541] The terms "alkylene", "alkenylene", and "alkynylene", as used herein, refer to divalent groups having the specified size. In some embodiments, alkylene can contain, for example, 1 to 20, 1 to 18, 1 to 16, 1 to 14, 1 to 12, 1 to 10, 1 to 8, 1 to 6, 1 to 4, or 1 to 2 carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C20, C1-C18, C1-C16, C1-C14, C1-C12, C1-C10, C1-C8, C1-C6, C1-C4, or C1-C2). In some embodiments, alkenylene or alkynylene can contain, for example, 2 to 20, 2 to 18, 2 to 16, 2 to 14, 2 to 12, 2 to 10, 2 to 8, 2 to 6, or 2 to 4 carbon atoms (e.g., C2-C20, C2-C18, C2-C16, C2-C14, C2-C12, C2-C10, C2-C8, C2-C6, or C2-C4). Alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene include straight-chain and branched-chain forms and combinations thereof. The divalency of an alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group does not include the presence of optional substituents on the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group. For example, two neuraminidase inhibitors may be linked to each other by a linker containing alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene or a combination thereof. Each alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene group in the linker is considered divalent with respect to the two bonds at both ends of the alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene group. For example, if the linker contains -(optionally substituted alkylene)-(optionally substituted alkenylene)-(optionally substituted alkylene)-, the alkenylene is considered divalent with respect to its bonds to the two alkylene groups at the ends of the linker. The presence of optional substituents on the alkenylene is not included in the alkenylene being divalent. The divalent nature of an alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group (e.g., an alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group in a linker) relates to both ends of the group and does not include any optional substituents that may be present in the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group.Since they are divalent, they can link together multiple (e.g., two) parts of a complex, such as a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor. The alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene groups can be substituted with groups typically suitable as substituents for the alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups shown herein. For example, C=O is a C1 alkylene substituted with oxo (=O). For example, -HCR-C≡C- can be regarded as an optionally substituted alkynylene and is regarded as a divalent group even if it has an optional substituent R. The heteroalkylene, heteroalkenylene, and / or heteroalkynylene groups refer to those in which the alkylene, alkenylene, and / or alkynylene groups contain one or more, for example, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, such as N, O, and S. For example, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer or a PEG unit -(CH2)2-O- in a PEG polymer is regarded as a heteroalkylene containing one or more oxygen atoms.
[0542] As used herein, "combination therapy" or "administered in combination" means that a complex described herein (e.g., any one of the complexes of formulas (1)-(5), (D-I)-(D-XI), (D'-I), (M-I)-(M-XI), or (M'-I)) and one (or more) different agents or therapies are administered to a subject as part of a defined treatment plan for a viral infection. The treatment plan defines the dosage and periodicity of administration of each agent such that the effects of the separate agents on the subject overlap. In some embodiments, delivery of the complex and one or more agents is performed simultaneously or concurrently, and the complex and one or more agents may be co-formulated. In some embodiments, the complex and one or more agents are not co-formulated and are administered in a sequential manner as part of a defined dosing schedule. In some embodiments, administering the complex in combination with one or more agents or therapies results in a greater reduction in symptoms or other parameters associated with a viral infection than is observed when one agent or therapy is delivered alone or in the absence of others. The effects of the complex and one or more agents can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive (e.g., synergistic). Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent can be effected by any suitable route, including but not limited to oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and direct absorption through mucosal tissues. The therapeutic agents can be administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, the complex described herein can be administered by intravenous injection while a second therapeutic agent of the combination can be administered orally.
[0543] As used herein, the term "cycloalkylene" refers to a divalent cyclic group that joins two moieties of a compound. For example, one carbon in the cycloalkylene group can be connected to one moiety of the compound, while another carbon in the cycloalkylene group can be connected to another moiety of the compound. The cycloalkylene group can include a saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic cyclic group. Cycloalkylene can have, for example, 3 to 20 carbons in the ring portion of the cycloalkylene (e.g., C3-C7, C3-C8, C3-C9, C3-C10, C3-C11, C3-C12, C3-C14, C3-C16, C3-C18, or C3-C20 cycloalkylene). When the cycloalkylene group contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond, the cycloalkylene group can be referred to as a "cycloalkenylene" group. Cycloalkenylene can have, for example, 4 to 20 carbons in the ring portion of the cycloalkenylene (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C4-C20 cycloalkenyl). When the cycloalkylene group contains at least one carbon-carbon triple bond, the cycloalkylene group can be referred to as a "cycloalkynylene" group. Cycloalkynylene can have, for example, 4 to 20 carbons in the ring portion of the cycloalkynylene (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C8-C20 cycloalkynylene). The cycloalkylene group can be substituted with groups typically suitable as substituents for alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups shown herein. Heterocycloalkylene refers to a cycloalkylene group containing one or more, for example, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, such as N, O, and S. Examples of cycloalkylene include, but are not limited to, cyclopropylene and cyclobutylene. Tetrahydrofuran can be regarded as heterocycloalkylene.
[0544] As used herein, the term "arylene" refers to a polyvalent (e.g., divalent or trivalent) aryl group that links together multiple (e.g., two or three) moieties of a compound. For example, one carbon in the arylene group can be linked to one moiety of the compound, while another carbon in the arylene group can be linked to another moiety of the compound. Arylene can have, for example, 5 to 15 carbons in the aryl portion of the arylene (e.g., C5-C6, C5-C7, C5-C8, C5-C9, C5-C10, C5-C11, C5-C12, C5-C13, C5-C14, or C5-C15 arylene). The arylene group can be substituted with groups typically suitable as substituents for the alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups shown herein. Heteroarylene refers to those in which the aromatic group contains one or more, for example, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, such as N, O, and S. The heteroarylene group can have, for example, 2 to 15 carbons (e.g., C2-C3, C2-C4, C2-C5, C2-C6, C2-C7, C2-C8, C2-C9, C2-C10, C2-C11, C2-C12, C2-C13, C2-C14, or C2-C15 heteroarylene).
[0545] The term "optionally substituted", as used herein, means having zero, one or more substituents, e.g., having from 0 to 25, 0 to 20, 0 to 10 or 0 to 5 substituents. Substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aralkyl, acyl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, heteroalkynyl, heteroaralkyl, halogen, oxo, cyano, nitro, amino, alkylamino, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkanoyl, carbonyl, carbamoyl, guanidinyl, ureido, amidinyl, any of the foregoing groups or moieties, and hetero forms of any of the foregoing groups or moieties. Substituents include, but are not limited to, F, Cl, methyl, phenyl, benzyl, OR, NR2, SR, SOR, SO2R, OCOR, NRCOR, NRCONR2, NRCOOR, OCONR2, RCO, COOR, alkyl-OOCR, SO3R, CONR2, SO2NR2, NRSO2NR2, CN, CF3, OCF3, SiR3 and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl or heteroaryl, and two of the optionally selected substituents on the same or adjacent atoms may combine to form an optionally substituted aromatic or non-aromatic fused ring containing 3 to 8 ring members, or two of the optionally selected substituents on the same atom may combine to form an optionally substituted aromatic or non-aromatic, saturated or unsaturated ring containing 3 to 8 ring members.
[0546] An optionally substituted group or moiety refers to a group or moiety in which one of the atoms (e.g., a hydrogen atom) is optionally replaced by another substituent (e.g., any one of the above groups or moieties). For example, an optionally substituted alkyl can be an optionally substituted methyl in which the hydrogen atom of the methyl group is replaced by, for example, OH. As another example, the substituent attached to a heteroalkyl or its divalent counterpart, heteroalkylene, may replace the hydrogen attached to carbon or the hydrogen attached to a heteroatom such as N. For example, the hydrogen atom in the group -R-NH-R- may be replaced by an amide substituent, such as -R-N[(CH2C(O)N(CH3)2]-R.
[0547] Generally, optional substituents are non-interfering substituents. A "non-interfering substituent" refers to a substituent that leaves intact the ability of a complex described herein (e.g., any one of the complexes of formulas (1)-(5), (D-I)-(D-XI), (D'-I), (M-I)-(M-XI), or (M'-I)) to either bind to viral neuraminidase or inhibit the growth of influenza virus. Thus, in some embodiments, a substituent may alter the degree of such activity. However, as long as the complex retains its ability to bind to viral neuraminidase or inhibit virus growth, the substituent will be classified as "non-interfering". For example, a non-interfering substituent will leave intact the ability of a compound to provide antiviral efficacy based on an IC50 value of 10 μM or less in a viral plaque reduction assay, e.g., an IC50 value of 500 nM or less against influenza virus neuraminidase in Example 2. Thus, a substituent may alter the degree of inhibition based on plaque reduction or influenza virus neuraminidase inhibition. However, as long as the compounds herein, e.g., the compounds of formulas (A-I), (A-II), (A-III), (A-IV), (A-V), (A-VI), (A-VII), (A-VIII), (A-IX), (A-X), (A-XI), (A-XII), and (A-XIII) retain their ability to inhibit influenza virus neuraminidase activity, the substituent will be classified as "non-interfering".
