Oseltamivir, or oseltamivir phosphate, marketed as Tamiflu®, is an acetamido cyclohexene that is a structural homolog of sialic acid and it is a neuraminidase inhibitor. It is used to treat influenze A and B infection and also is used prophylactically. The active form is the ester hydrolysed form, a carboxylate. Oseltamivir (like zanamivir) acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase.
Chemistry
Its IUPAC chemical name is ethyl (3R,4R,5S)-4-acetamido-5-amino-3-pentan-3-yloxycyclohexene-1-carboxylate and its chemical formula is C16H28N2O4, giving it a molecular mass of 312.4045 g/mol.
