The structure for Laninamivir as pictured is incorrect. It should be acylated by an octoyl group on the 3-positioned hydroxy.

Laninamivir Structure Incorrect?[edit]

Hi, I believe that the side chain stereochemistry in the diagram is incorrect at both the methoxy and the next secondary hydroxyl. You can compare it to Zaninamivir and it is opposite and also does not match those structures already published in the chemistry literature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.114.241 (talk) 09:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
