| Bioactivity | Zanamivir is an influenza viral neuraminidase inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.95 nM and 2.7 nM for influenza A and B, respectively. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Zanamivir interacts with a group of amino acids in the active site of neuraminidase, which are conserved in all influenza A and B strains. Zanamivir blocks the action of neuraminidase, which prevents the cleavage of sialic acid on the cell receptors, thus preventing release and spread of the newly formed virions[2]. | ||||||||||||
