Conjugating drug candidates to polymeric chains does not necessarily enhance anti-influenza activity

Using the plaque reduction assay, relatively simple bicyclic quinone molecules, as well as multiple copies thereof covalently attached to a long polyglutamate-based polymeric chain, were examined as new inhibitors of various naturally occurring strains of influenza A virus. The polymer-conjugated in...
