I need information about development of tamiflu. I also need information about Gilead and Swiss company that produces tamiflu. What is oseltamivir by its chemical structure and how does it work. Just a few words about each of them.

Gilead discovered tamiflu and Hoffman La Roche brought it to the market. Active ingredient in tamiflu is oseltamivir phosphate, which is a neuraminidase inhibitor. Neuraminidase is a viral enzyme, and by its inactivation, virus replication is stopped. Oseltamivir phosphate is hex cyclic form with nitrogen and phosphate. It has amid and ester functional groups.
