[h=3]Abstract[/h] Multivalent ligands that exhibit high binding affinity to influenza hemagglutinin (HA) trimer can block the interaction of HA with its sialic acid receptor. In this study, a series of multivalent pentacyclic triterpene-functionalized per-O-methylated cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives were designed and synthesized using 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition click reaction. A cell-based assay showed that three compounds (25, 28 and 31) exhibited strong inhibitory activity against influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus. Compound 28 showed the most potent anti-influenza activity with IC[SUB]50[/SUB] of 4.7 μM. The time-of-addition assay indicated that compound 28 inhibited the entry of influenza virus into host cell. Further hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays indicated that compound 28 tightly bound to influenza HA protein with a dissociation constant (K[SUB]D[/SUB]) of 4.0 μM. Our results demonstrated a strategy of using per-O-methylated β-CD as a scaffold for designing multivalent compounds to disrupt influenza HA protein-host receptor protein interaction and thus block influenza virus entry into host cells.
