Funded Activity Summary
An Investigation of Novel Sialylmimetics as Inhibitors of Rotavirus. Rotavirus causes severe gastroenteritis in infants worldwide. Over 125 million cases of diarrhoea and 800,000 deaths annually are attributed to rotavirus, primarily in developing countries. The process that enables this debilitating and sometimes fatal disease to infect cells is poorly understood. This project aims to produce a range of unique chemical entities that will provide information about the way rotavirus infects cells. The chemical compounds produced will be assayed for their ability to prevent rotavirus from infecting cells. It is expected that this project will provide compounds that may ultimately be used as drugs for the treatment of rotavirus.Funded Activity Details
