• Beschreibung: Methyl β-neuraminic acid is a neuraminidase inhibitor that is used to treat influenza. It inhibits the action of the influenza virus by blocking its ability to attach to the host cell and enter. Methyl β-neuraminic acid has been shown to be effective in treating influenza A and B, with an efficacy of 92%. The drug is also effective against respiratory syncytial virus and adenovirus, as well as for prevention of flu in healthy adults. In addition, methyl β-neuraminic acid is able to prevent or reduce the severity of influenza when taken prophylactically. It can be administered orally or intravenously. Methyl β-neuraminic acid is often used as a synthetic reagent because it has both acetyl groups and hydroxyl groups. The optimum pH for this compound is 5.5-7.5 at room temperature.
