Oseltamivir acid is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid that is cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid that is substituted at positions 3, 4, and 5 by pentan-3-yloxy, acetamido, and amino groups, respectively (the 3R,4R,5S enantiomer). An antiviral drug, it is used as the corresponding ethyl ester prodrug, oseltamivir, to slow the spread of influenza. Among its listed roles, it functions as a antiviral drug, an EC 3.2.1.18 (exo-alpha-sialidase) inhibitor and a marine xenobiotic metabolite. It is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid, an acetate ester, an amino acid and a primary amino compound. Its therapeutic use is listed as antivirals. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Oseltamivir free acid and Oseltamivir carboxylate. It is also listed for alternate use as: API Impurity. Its PubChem CID is 449381.
