This hybrid inhibitor showed excellent inhibitory properties in the neuraminidase inhibition assay (Ki =0.46 nM; Ki (zanamivir) =0.16 nM) and in the viral replication inhibition assay in cell culture at 10-8 M. As part of this lead optimization, we now report a novel spirolactam that shows comparable inhibitory activity in the cell culture assay to that of our lead compound at 10-7 M. The compound was discovered serendipitously during the attempted synthesis of the isothiourea derivative of the original candidate. The X-ray crystal structure of the spirolactam in complex with the N8 subtype neuraminidase offers insight into the mode of inhibition.
