Design, Synthesis, and X-ray Crystallographic Analysis of a Novel Class of HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors
文摘
In the present paper, design, synthesis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and HIV-1 protease inhibitory activities of a novel class of compounds are disclosed. Compounds 28鈥?b>30, 32, 35, and 40 were synthesized and found to be inhibitors of the HIV-1 protease. The crucial step in their synthesis involved an unusual endo radical cyclization process. Absolute stereochemistry of the three asymmetric centers in the above compounds have been established to be (4S,2鈥?i>R,3鈥?i>S) for optimal potency. X-ray crystallographic analysis has been used to determine the binding mode of the inhibitors to the HIV-1 protease.
