3-Fluoro-5-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzamide is a drug that is used to treat influenza. It is an amide that acts as an acceptor for the virus, which prevents it from infecting other cells. 3-Fluoro-5-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzamide inhibits the neuraminidase enzyme on the surface of the virus, preventing it from releasing its infectious particles. This drug also has anti-inflammatory properties and is excreted unchanged in urine and feces. 3-Fluoro-5-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzamide is structurally related to other drugs that are used to treat influenza, such as oseltamivir and zanamivir. These drugs are classified as inhibitors of viral neuraminidase (NA).
