Neuraminidase-1 can cause the removal of terminal sialic acid residues from the cell surface or serum sialyloconjugates. The level of Neu5Ac was positively related to the activity of neuraminidase-1. Elevation of Neu5Ac was observed in myocardial ischemia animal model, as well as patients with coronary artery disease. It is interesting to note that Neu5Ac and its regulatory enzyme neuraminidase-1 seem to play a key role in triggering myocardial ischemic injury. Oseltamivir, a structural mimic of sialic acid, was widely used as anti-influenza drug. It suppressed neuraminidase-1 activity in the heart. Targeting neuraminidase-1 may represent a new therapeutic intervention for coronary artery disease. This project seeks to identify whether neuraminidase inhibitor (Oseltamivir) treatment could decrease the myocardial infarct size in STEMI patients and improve clinical outcomes.
