54-BICR237 - oseltamivir-carboxylate | 187227-45-8

Oseltamivir acid (GS4071) is a potent influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor and the prodrug of GS4071.

Inhibitor of viral neuraminidase enzyme, effective against influenza A and B viruses. This antiviral compound inhibits neuraminidase-mediated cleavage of host cell sialic acids, which interact with newly synthesised virions from the host cell. This prevents virion budding from the host, resulting in inhibition of virion release and viral infection overall.
