Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition for use in inhibiting the binding of a Norovirus to the histo-blood group antigen on the surface of epithelia is disclosed. The composition may contain a therapeutically effective amount of a binding-inhibiting compound and a carrier and/or excipient. The compounds may competitively bind a Norovirus that has the capability of binding with the histo-blood group antigens of secretor blood type, including A, B, AB, and O blood types. The compositions may be administered to a human prior to or after infection by a Norovirus, to prevent, ameliorate, or reduce the effects of an infection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition for use in inhibiting the binding of a Norovirus to the histo-blood group antigen on the surface of epithelia, the composition comprising at least about 5% by weight of a binding-inhibiting compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or excipient. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said compound selectively binds to an oligosaccharide-PAA conjugated A and B compared to a VA-387P norovirus dimer.
