摘要

By means of structure-based bioisosterism approach, a series of novel purinylthioacetanilide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potent HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Some of the tested compounds were found to be active against wild-type (WT) HIV-1 (IIIB) with EC50 in the range of 0.78-4.46 mu M. Among them, LAD-8 displayed the most potent anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 0.78 mu M, SI = 24). In addition, LBD-6 showed moderate activity against L100I mutant (EC50 = 5.64 mu M) and double mutant strain RES056 (EC50 = 22.24 mu M). Preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) were discussed in detail. Molecular modeling study was used to predict the optimal conformation in the NNRTI binding site, which may play a guiding role in further rational optimization.
