Rotavirus can cause several gastrointestinal disease, especially in infants and young children, and is particularly prevalent in Third-World countries. Therefore, the development of potential inhibitors of this virus is of great interest. The present study describes the synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of a number of N-acethyneuraminic acid-based compounds as potential rotavirus inhibitors. Our data suggests that it is indeed possible to inhibit adhesion of the virus, and hence in vitro replication, with carbohydrate-based molecules, although this inhibition, dues appear to be strain dependent.
