A series of 2-alkoxyimino-N-(2-isoxazolin-3-ylmethyl) acetamides and related compounds were synthesized and their antiviral activities against human influenza A virus were assessed. Studies of the structure–activity relationships revealed the strongest antiviral activity when position-5 of the isoxazoline ring was substituted with a tert-butyl group. When the alkoxyimino moiety was substituted with a methyl, ethyl, isopropyl or allyl group, good ...
