Sulfatide, which binds to influenza A viruses and prevents the viral infection, was found to inhibit the sialidase activities of influenza A viruses in a pH-dependent manner. The kinetic parameters of the effect of sulfatide on the sialidase activities of human influenza A viruses using fluorometric assay indicated that sulfatide was a powerful and non-competitive type inhibitor in low-pH conditions.
