Flutimide, a fully substituted 1-hydroxy-3H-pyrazine-2,6-dione, is a fungal metabolite isolated from a new species of Delitschia cofertaspora. It has been shown to selectively inhibit cap-dependent endonuclease activity of influenza virus A. The inhibition of this activity is a target for the potential development of a therapeutic agent to treat influenza infections. A convergent total synthesis of flutimide starting from L-leucine has been described. The synthetic methodology has been extended…

Protein-Structure Assisted Optimization of 4,5-Dihydroxypyrimidine-6-Carboxamide Inhibitors of Influenza Virus Endonuclease
TLDR
Details behind the discovery of new potent inhibitors of wild type and resistant mutant endonucleases along with their high-resolution co-crystal structure-activity relationships are reported to add to the understanding of nuclease protein targets and potentially serve as starting points for a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of influenza.

Pyrazine derivatives: a patent review (June 2012 – present)
TLDR
This review is a survey of important patents on pyrazine derivatives with pharmacological activity published in the period June 2012 – July 2014 and expects that several of these compounds will add to existing pharmaceuticals in the very near future.
Mutational Analysis of the Binding Pockets of the Diketo Acid Inhibitor L-742,001 in the Influenza Virus PA Endonuclease
ABSTRACT The influenza virus PA endonuclease, which cleaves capped host pre-mRNAs to initiate synthesis of viral mRNA, is a prime target for antiviral therapy. The diketo acid compound L-742,001 was…

Drug Repurposing for Influenza Virus Polymerase Acidic (PA) Endonuclease Inhibitor
TLDR
Lifitegrast, which can effectively inhibit PA endonuclease activity, was screened through in silico and in vitro research and will be of significance in developing more effective and selective drugs for anti-influenza therapy.
