In particular, a thorough exploration of the cycloheptathiophene-3-carboxamide moiety led to acquire important SAR insight and identify new active compounds showing both the ability to inhibit PA-PB1 interaction and viral replication in the micromolar range and at non-toxic concentrations. Finally, with the aim to gain information on how two different moieties, such as the cHTC and the 2-carbamoylphenyl, showed a favorable ability to disrupt PA-PB1 interaction, computational studies were performed to predict the binding mode of benzamide derivative 23 within the PA cavity with respect to hit compound 4. ./cache/cord-327946-mqakaisa.txt ./txt/cord-327946-mqakaisa.txt
