Abstract
The influenza pandemic remains a major public health challenge that endangers the lives of many vulnerable and immune-compromised individuals worldwide. The high infectivity and genetic variability of influenza virus make it particularly challenging to design effective drugs to inhibit the virus. In previous studies, we determined that oleanolic acid (OA) and its derivatives block interactions between influenza and host cells, thus endowing OA with anti-viral efficacy. Inspired by the role of cluster glycosides in the interactions between hemagglutinins (HA) and sialic acid receptors (SA), we designed and synthesized a series of OA nonamers via the CuAAC reaction, and evaluated their anti-viral activities in vitro. We determined that among these nonamers, compound 15 displayed the highest potency (IC50 = 5.23 μM), equivalent to the antiviral drug oseltamivir which is routinely prescribed for influenza A virus strain A/WSN/33 (H1N1). In addition, these compounds also displayed antiviral activity against influenza B. Mechanistic experiments indicated that OA nonamers can effectively target the influenza HA protein. This study collectively demonstrates that multivalent structure-activity binding strategy is an effective method for designing influenza virus inhibitors.

Abstract
Influenza is a major threat to millions of people worldwide. Entry inhibitors are of particular interest for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for influenza. We have previously discovered oleanolic acid (OA) to be a mild influenza hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor. In this work, inspired by the 3D structure of HA as a homotrimeric receptor, we designed and synthesized 15 OA trimers with different linkers and central region via the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. All of the OA trimers were evaluated for their antiviral activities in vitro, and 12c, 12e, 13c, and 13d were observed to exhibit robust potency (IC50 in the submicromolar range) against influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus that was stronger than that observed with oseltamivir. In addition, these compounds also displayed strong biological activity against A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 and B/Sichuan/531/2018 (BV). The results of hemagglutination inhibition assays and surface plasmon resonance binding assays suggest that these OA trimers may interrupt the interaction between the HA protein of influenza virus and the host cell sialic acid receptor, thus blocking viral entry. These findings highlight the utility of multivalent OA conjugates to enhance the ligand-target interactions in anti-influenza virus drug design and are also helpful for studying antiviral drugs derived from natural products.
