Binding Target Hemagglutinin protein
Mechanism The mechanism of action was demonstrated to be the interference with the viral attachment via contact with HA, as demonstrated by ELISA assay, but they do not block hemagglutination produced by the virus, so they do not interact on the receptor binding site. Moreover, the compounds were tested on Balb/c mice infected with a lethal dose of A/WSN/33 virus, showing an ability to reduce the viral titer by 2–4 log units
