Abstract: Structure-activity studies associated with the salicylic acid-derived inhibitor of influenza fusion, BMY-27709, were examined using a parallel synthesis approach. This SAR survey led to the discovery of potent influenza inhibitory activity in a series of aromatic amides and thioamides derived from 1,3,3-trimethyl-5-hydroxycyclohexylmethylamine. Select compounds were characterized as inhibitors of the H1 subtype of influenza A viruses that act by preventing the pH-induced fusion process, thereby blocking viral entry into host cells. In a plaque-reduction assay, the most potent inhibitors displayed EC(50) values of 0.02-0.14 microg/mL.
