NEU3-IN-1

NEU3-IN-2 (compound 963), a derivative of 2-deoxy-2,3-didehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA) and a C9 biphenylcarbamate, functions as an inhibitor of NEU3, a human neuraminidase with four isozymes. This compound exhibits inhibitory activity with a Ki of 0.12 μM and an IC50 of 0.31 μM. It serves as a crucial tool in the exploration of NEU3 isozyme functionality. Additionally, its analogs, featuring an amide and a triazole linker, show selectivity towards NEU1 and NEU4 isozymes, respectively.
