Abstract: A furanosic derivative has been identified as a simple sialylmimetic and synthesized, representing the first step in the development of a new series of furanosic sialic acids mimetics as potential inhibitors of influenza virus neuraminidase. The structure was tested on a molecular simulating environment before proceeding with synthetic pathways.
