Annual and sporadic influenza outbreaks pose a great threat to human health and the economy worldwide. Moreover, the frequent mutation of influenza viruses caused by antigen drift complicates the application of antiviral therapeutics. As such, there is an urgent need for novel antiviral agents to tackle the problem of insufficient efficacy of licensed drugs. Inspired by the success of the newly emerged PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) strategy, we report herein the design and synthesis of novel PROTAC molecules based on an oseltamivir scaffold to combat severe annual influenza outbreaks. Among these, several compounds showed good anti-H1N1 activity and efficient influenza neuraminidase (NA) degradation activity. The best compound, 8e, effectively induced influenza NA degradation in a dose-dependent manner and relied on the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. Moreover, Compound 8e exhibited potent antiviral activity toward both wild-type H1N1 virus and an oseltamivir-resistant strain (H1N1, H274Y). A molecular docking study demonstrated that Compound 8e had good hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions with both the active sites of NA and Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) proteins, which could effectively drive the favorable interaction of these two proteins. Thus, as the first report of a successful anti-influenza PROTAC, this proof of concept will greatly widen the application range of the PROTAC technique to antiviral drug discovery.
