Anomeric aminobenzylglycosides of Neu5Ac were coupled with the polyacrylate carrier and a number of synthetic polyvalent sialosides obtained were investigated as inhibitors of influenza virus attachment. The inhibitory activity of polymeric sialosides is highly dependent upon the Neu5Ac residue content and the nature of the carrier. The polyacrylic acid based polymer bearing 10 mol% of Neu5Ac is 3 orders of magnitude more potent inhibitor than the corresponding monovalent benzylsialoside and considerably more active than fetuin.
