Tamiflu, the ethyl ester form of oseltamivir carboxylic acid (OC), is the first orally available anti-influenza drug for the front-line therapeutic option. In this study, the OC-hydroxamates, OC-sulfonamides and their guanidino congeners (GOC) were synthesized. Among them, an OC-hydroxamate 7d bearing an O-(2-indolyl)propyl substituent showed potent NA inhibition (IC50 = 6.4 nM) and good anti-influenza activity (EC50 = 60.1 nM) against the wild-type H1N1 virus. Two GOC-hydroxamates (9b and 9d) and one GOC-sulfonamide (12a) were active to the tamiflu-resistant H275Y virus (EC50 = 2.3-6.9 μM).
