Polymer-attached zanamivir inhibits synergistically both early and late stages of influenza virus infection

Covalently conjugating multiple copies of the drug zanamivir (ZA; the active ingredient in Relenza) via a flexible linker to poly-l-glutamine (PGN) enhances the anti-influenza virus activity by orders of magnitude.
