Two-carbon-elongated HIV-1 protease inhibitors with a tertiary-alcohol-containing transition-state mimic

J Med Chem. 2008 Feb 28;51(4):1053-7. doi: 10.1021/jm070680h. Epub 2008 Jan 24.

Abstract

A new generation of HIV-1 protease inhibitors encompassing a tertiary-alcohol-based transition-state mimic has been developed. By elongation of the core structure of recently reported inhibitors with two carbon atoms and by varying the P1' group of the compounds, efficient inhibitors were obtained with Ki down to 2.3 nM and EC50 down to 0.17 microM. Two inhibitor-enzyme X-ray structures are reported.
