Inhibition of influenza H5N1 invasion by modified heparin derivatives (2015)
Journal Article
Skidmore, M. A., Kajaste-Rudnitski, A., Wells, N. M., Guimond, S. E., Rudd, T. R., Yates, E. A., & Vicenzi, E. Inhibition of influenza H5N1 invasion by modified heparin derivatives. MedChemComm, 6(4), 640-646. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4md00516c

Influenza remains a serious health threat, with resistance to frontline drugs becoming more common, and new treatments urgently sought. One strategy for the inhibition of the attachment of influenza to host cells is to employ chemically modified hepa...
