Novel chromone derivatives with a benzopyran-4-one scaffold have been prepared by the one-pot cyclization reaction. The in vitro inhibitory activity of these new compounds towards HIV-1 protease have been evaluated using stop time HPLC method as the preliminary screening. The most potent compound, 7,8-dihydroxy-2-(3'-trifluoromethyl phenyl)-3-(3 ''-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)chromone (32), showed IC50 = 0.34 mu M. The molecular docking study supported results from experimental activity testing and also provided structure-activity relationship of this series. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
