1-Alkoxymethyl-5-alkyl-6-naphthylmethyl uracils, which are novel 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT) analogues, were synthesized for evaluation as selective and potent nonnucleoside human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The anti-HIV-1 activity of these compounds was assayed in vitro using HIV-1 infected MT-4 and CEM bioassays. The EC50, CC50 and SI were recorded and calculated. The appropriate position, especially in the 1-position of the naphthyl ring, led to dramatic increases in potency, in both MT-4 and CEM cellular assays. The most important compounds in this series, 1-ethoxymethyl-5-isopropyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)thymine 8l (IC50=17 nM, CC50=38332 nM, SI=2229) and 1-benzyloxymethyl-5-ethyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)thymine 8n (IC50=17 nM, CC50=32560 nM, SI=1889) were significantly more potent than HEPT (EC50=7.0 μM, CD50=740 μM) in the anti-HIV-1 in vitro cellular assay.
合成了新型 1-[(2-羟乙氧基)甲基]-6-(苯硫基)胸腺嘧啶(HEPT)类似物--1-烷氧基甲基-5-烷基-6-萘甲基尿嘧啶,并将其评估为选择性和强效的非核苷类人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)-1 逆转录酶抑制剂。这些化合物的抗 HIV-1 活性是通过体外 HIV-1 感染 MT-4 和 CEM 生物测定法进行的。记录并计算了 EC50、CC50 和 SI。在 MT-4 和 CEM 细胞实验中,适当的位置,尤其是萘环的 1 位,可使药效显著提高。该系列中最重要的化合物是 1-乙氧基甲基-5-异丙基-6-(1-萘甲基)胸腺嘧啶 8l(IC50=17 nM,CC50=38332 nM、SI=2229)和 1-苄氧基甲基-5-乙基-6-(1-萘甲基)胸腺嘧啶 8n(IC50=17 nM,CC50=32560 nM,SI=1889)明显比 HEPT(EC50=7.0 μM,CD50=740 μM)明显更有效。
