Novel HIV-protease inhibitors containing beta-hydroxyether and -thioether dipeptide isostere surrogates: modification of the P3 ligand

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Apr 21;8(8):931-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00144-9.

Abstract

Studies involving modifications to the P3 position of previously described HIV-protease inhibitors containing beta-hydroxyether and thioether dipeptide isostere replacements led to the discovery of pseudopeptides 8o and 8p with improved antiviral activities.
