Abstract
The in silico evaluation of 27 p-aminosalicylic acid derivatives, also referred to as neuraminidase inhibitors was the focus of the current study. To search and predict new potential neuraminidase inhibitors, this study was based on the ligand-based pharmacophore modeling, 3D QSAR, molecular docking, ADMET and MD simulation studies. The data was generated from recently reported inhibitors and divided into two groups, one of these group has 17 compounds for training and the second group has 10 compounds for testing purpose. The generated pharmacophore has known as ADDPR_4 was found statistically significant 3D-QSAR model owing the high trust scores (R2 = 0.974, Q2 = 0.905, RMSE = 0.23). Morever external validation was also employed to evaluate the prediction capacity of the built pharmacophore model (R2pred = 0.905). In addition, in silico ADMET, analyses were employed to evaluate the obtained hits for drug likeness properties. The stability of formed complexes was further evaluated using molecular dynamics. Top two hits showed stable complexes with Neuraminidase based on calculated total binding energy by MM-PBSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Oseltamivir belongs to the neuraminidase inhibitors, developed against the influenza virus, and registered under the trademark Tamiflu. Despite its long-term acquaintance, there is limited information in the literature about its physicochemical and structural properties in a lipid-water system. We present an experimentally determined partition coefficient with structural information on the interaction of oseltamivir with the model membrane, its possible location, and its effect on the membrane thermodynamics. The hydrophobic part of the lipid bilayer is affected to a moderate extent, which was proved by slight changes in thermal and structural properties. Hereby, interaction of oseltamivir with the phospholipid bilayer induces concentration dependent decrease of lateral pressure in the bilayer acyl chain region. Oseltamivir charges the bilayer surface positively, which results in the zeta potential increase and changes in anisotropic properties studied by the polarised light microscopy. At the highest oseltamivir concentrations studied, the multilamellar structure is extensively disturbed, likely due to electrostatic repulsion between the adjacent bilayers.

Abstract
In recent decades, the world has gained experience of the dangerous effects of pandemic events caused by emerging respiratory viruses. In particular, annual epidemics of influenza are responsible for severe illness and deaths. Even if conventional influenza vaccines represent the most effective tool for preventing virus infections, they are not completely effective in patients with severe chronic disease and immunocompromised and new small molecules have emerged to prevent and control the influenza viruses. Thus, the attention of chemists is continuously focused on the synthesis of new antiviral drugs able to interact with the different molecular targets involved in the virus replication cycle. To date, different classes of influenza viruses inhibitors able to target neuraminidase enzyme, hemagglutinin protein, Matrix-2 (M2) protein ion channel, nucleoprotein or RNAdependent RNA polymerase have been synthesized using several synthetic strategies comprising the chemical modification of currently used drugs. The best results, in terms of inhibitory activity, are in the nanomolar range and have been obtained from the chemical modification of clinically used drugs such as Peramivir, Zanamivir, Oseltamir, Rimantadine, as well as sialylated molecules, and hydroxypyridinone derivatives. The aim of this review is to report, covering the period 2016-2022, the most recent routes related to the synthesis of effective influenza virus inhibitors.

Abstract
The influenza virus remains a major health concern for mankind because it tends to mutate frequently and cause high morbidity. Influenza prevention and treatment are greatly aided by the use of antivirals. One such class of antivirals is neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), effective against influenza viruses. A neuraminidase on the virus's surface serves a vital function in viral propogation by assisting in the release of viruses from infected host cells. Neuraminidase inhibitors are the backbone in stoping such virus propagation thus helps in the treatment of influenza viruses infections. Two NAI medicines are licensed globally: Oseltamivir (Tamiflu™) and Zanamivir (Relanza™). There are two molecules that have acquired Japanese approval recently: Peramivir and Laninamivir, whereas Laninamivir octanoate is in Phase III clinical trials. The need for novel NAIs is due to frequent mutations in viruses and the rise in resistance against existing medication. The NA inhibitors (NAIs) are designed to have (oxa)cyclohexene scaffolds (a sugar scaffold) to mimic the oxonium transition state in the enzymatic cleavage of sialic acid. This review discusses in details and comprises all such conformationally locked (oxa)cyclohexene scaffolds and their analogues which have been recently designed and synthesized as potential neuraminidase inhibitors, thus as antiviral molecules. The structure-activity relationship of such diverese molecules has also been discussed in this review.

Abstract
The neuraminidase (NA) of influenza A and B viruses plays a distinct role in viral replication and has a highly conserved catalytic site. Numerous sialic (neuraminic) acid analogs that competitively bind to the NA active site and potently inhibit enzyme activity have been synthesized and tested. Four NA inhibitors are now licensed in various parts of the world (zanamivir, oseltamivir, peramivir, and laninamivir) to treat influenza A and B infections. NA changes, naturally occurring or acquired under selective pressure, have been shown to reduce drug binding, thereby affecting the effectiveness of NA inhibitors. Drug resistance and other drawbacks have prompted the search for the next-generation NA-targeting therapeutics. One of the promising approaches is the identification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the conserved NA epitopes. Anti-NA mAbs demonstrate Fab-based antiviral activity supplemented with Fc-mediated immune effector functions. Antiviral Fc-conjugates offer another cutting-edge strategy that is based on a multimodal mechanism of action. These novel antiviral agents are composed of a small-molecule NA inhibitor and an Fc-region that simultaneously engages the immune system. The significant advancements made in recent years further support the value of NA as an attractive target for the antiviral development.

Abstract
Neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for the treatment of influenza. In this study, a new lead NA inhibitor, 4 (ZINC01121127), was discovered by pharmacophore-based virtual screening and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Some novel NA inhibitors containing thiophene ring were synthesized by optimizing the skeleton of the lead compound 4. Compound 4b had the most potent inhibitory activity against NA (IC50 = 0.03 μM), which was better than the positive control oseltamivir carboxylate (IC50 = 0.06 μM). 4b (EC50 = 1.59 μM) also exhibits excellent antiviral activity against A/chicken/Hubei/327/2004 (H5N1-DW), which is superior to the reference drug OSC (EC50 = 5.97 μM). Molecular docking study shows that the thiophene moiety plays an essential role in compound 4b, which can bind well to the active site of NA. The good activity of 4b may be also ascribed to the extending of quinoline ring into the 150-cavity. The results of this study may provide an insightful help for the development of new NA inhibitors.

Abstract
Neuraminidase of influenza A and B viruses plays a critical role in the virus life cycle and is an important target of the host immune system. Here, we highlight the current understanding of influenza neuraminidase structure, function, antigenicity, immunogenicity, and immune protective potential. Neuraminidase inhibiting antibodies have been recognized as correlates of protection against disease caused by natural or experimental influenza A virus infection in humans. In the past years, we have witnessed an increasing interest in the use of influenza neuraminidase to improve the protective potential of currently used influenza vaccines. A number of well-characterized influenza neuraminidase-specific monoclonal antibodies have been described recently, most of which can protect in experimental challenge models by inhibiting the neuraminidase activity or by Fc receptor-dependent mechanisms. The relative instability of the neuraminidase poses a challenge for protein-based antigen design. We critically review the different solutions that have been proposed to solve this problem, ranging from the inclusion of stabilizing heterologous tetramerizing zippers to the introduction of inter-protomer stabilizing mutations. Computationally engineered neuraminidase antigens have been generated that offer broad, within subtype protection in animal challenge models. We also provide an overview of modern vaccine technology platforms that are compatible with the induction of robust neuraminidase-specific immune responses. In the near future, we will likely see the implementation of influenza vaccines that confront the influenza virus with a double punch: targeting both the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase.

Abstract
Neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors play a prime role in treating influenza. However, a variety of viruses containing mutant NAs have developed severe drug resistance towards NA inhibitors, so it is of crucial significance to solve this problem. Encouraged by urea-containing compound 12 disclosed by our lab, we designed a series of oseltamivir derivatives bearing hydrazide fragment for targeting the 150 cavity. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 17a showed 8.77-fold, 4.12-fold, 203-fold and 6.23-fold more potent activity than oseltamivir carboxylate against NAs from H5N1, H1N1, H5N1-H274Y, H1N1-H274Y, respectively. Meanwhile, the best compound 17a exhibited satisfactory metabolic stability in vitro. This study offers an important reference for the structural optimization of oseltamivir aiming at potent inhibition against H274Y mutant of NAs.

Abstract
Influenza virus is the main cause of an infectious disease called influenza affecting the respiratory system including the throat, nose and lungs. Neuraminidase inhibitors are reagents used to block the enzyme called neuraminidase to prevent the influenza infection from spreading. Neuraminidase inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of influenza infection, but still there is a need to develop more potent agents for the more effective treatment of influenza. Complications of the influenza disease lead to death, and one of these complications is drug resistance; hence, there is an urgent need to develop more effective agents. This review focuses on the recent advances in chemical synthesis pathways used for the development of new neuraminidase agents along with the medicinal aspects of chemically modified molecules, including the structure-activity relationship, which provides further rational designs of more active small molecules.

Abstract
Twenty-five new derivatives of 8-hydroxycycloberberine (1) were synthesized and evaluated for their activities against Gram-positive bacteria, taking 1 as the lead. Part of them displayed satisfactory antibacterial activities against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as well as vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA). Especially, compound 15a displayed an excellent anti-MRSA activity with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) of 0.25–0.5 μg/mL, better than that of 1. It also displayed high stability in liver microsomes and whole blood, and the LD50 value of over 65.6 mg·kg−1 in mice via intravenous route, suggesting a good druglike feature. The mode of action showed that 15a could effectively suppress topo IV-mediated decatenation activity at the concentration of 7.5 μg/mL, through binding a different active pocket of bacterial topo IV from quinolones. Taken together, the derivatives of 1 constituted a promising kind of anti-MRSA agents with a unique chemical scaffold and a specific biological mechanism, and compound 15a has been chosen for the next investigation.
