Laninamivir octanoate is an inhibitor of influenza neuraminidases and a prodrug form of laninamivir. It selectively inhibits the neuraminidases from influenza A H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2 strains (mean IC50s = 822, 128, and 114 nM, respectively) over the neuraminidases from influenza B Victoria and Yamagata strains (mean...
