Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives as potent CCR5 inhibitors
文摘
Based on a putative 鈥榊 shape鈥?pharmacophore model of CCR5 inhibitors, a series of novel piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized using a group-reverse strategy. Among synthesized target compounds, 16g (IC50聽=聽25.73聽nM) and 16i (IC50聽=聽25.53聽nM) showed equivalent inhibitory activity against CCR5 to that of the positive control maraviroc (IC50聽=聽25.43聽nM) in calcium mobilization assay. Selected compounds were further tested for their antiviral activity in HIV-1 single cycle assay. Two compounds, 16g and 16i, displayed antiviral activity with IC50 values of 73.01聽nM and 94.10聽nM, respectively. Additionally, the pharmacokinetic properties and inhibitory potency against hERG of 16g were evaluated, providing a foundation for ongoing optimization.
