Divalent inhibitors of the neuraminidase enzyme (NA) of the Influenza A virus were synthesized with vastly different spacers. The spacers varied from 14 to 56 atoms and were relatively rigid by way of the building blocks and their connection by CuAAC. As the ligand for these constructs, a Δ<sup>4</sup>-β-d-glucoronide was used, which can be prepared form <i>N</i>-acetyl glucosamine. This ligand showed good NA inhibitory potency but with room for improvement by multivalency enhancement. The synth ...[more]
