The Importance of Tamiflu
• There are currently 4 drugs for the treatment of influenzainfections.
• The neuraminidase inhibitors, Zanamivir (Relenza) andOseltamivir (Tamiflu), have little toxicity and do not promotedrug resistance.
• If the H5N1 virus becomes readily transmitted through human-human contact, the treatment of choice would be Tamiflu.

Corey Route to Tamiflu

Conclusion
• The key step in the Shibasaki synthesis are a catalyticenantioselective desymmetrization of a meso-aziridine.
• The key steps in the Corey route are a enantioselective Diels-Alder, iodo-lactamization and bromoacetamidation.
• Both routes offer a new way to access Tamiflu that does notrequire the use of shikimic acid or quinic acid.
• “Although our route is already very efficient, it’s conceivable thatwhen you put new developments together, you’ll have an evenbetter and cheaper process. I think the Tamiflu supply problemis solved” E.J. Corey C&E News May 5th, 2006
Though the possibility does exist that each route could bemodified, currently due to scalability issues with reagents,neither route offers a viable alternative to process route.
