New anti-influenza agents of tetravalent zanamivir on a porphyrin scaffold were synthesized. These compounds are 10 to 100 times more potent in inhibiting influenza replications even though they are somewhat less potent in neuraminidase inhibition than the monomeric zanamivir. The enhanced anti-influenza activity is probably attributable to the additional viral inactivation by singlet oxygen due to sensitization of the porphyrin moiety, which is brought in close proximity of virus by the conjugated zanamivir in a manner resembling the "magic bullet" mechanism.
