An enantioselectiveBiginellireaction that proceeds by a dual-activation route has been developed by using a combined catalyst of a readily available trans-4-hydroxyproline-derived secondary amine and a Bronsted acid. Aromatic, heteroaromatic, and fused-ring aldehydes were found to be suitable substrates for this multicomponent reaction. The corresponding dihydropyrimidines were obtained in moderate-to-good
Combinatorial libraries of HIV and FIV protease inhibitors are characterized by α-keto amide or hydroxyethylamine core structures flanked by on one side by substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, or azasugars and on the other side by phenylalanine, tyrosine, or substituted tyrosines. The libraries are synthesized via a one step coupling reaction. Highly efficacious drug candidates are identified by screening the libraries for binding and inhibitory activity against both HIV and FIV protease. Drug candidates displaying clinically useful activity against both HIV and FIV protease are identified as being potentially resistive against a loss of inhibitory activity due to development of resistant strains of HIV.
Systematic replacement in the 3- or 4-position of the pyrrolidine ring at P1' proline was carried out. Compound 26, which has a C1 atom in the 4(S)-position was the most active among inhibitors substituted with other halogen atoms or other substituents. Furthermore, the replacement of the Z group in compound 26 with five- or six-membered fused aromatic heterocycle carbonyl groups produced more potent inhibitors. 7-Methoxybenzofuran-2-carbonyl derivative (44) was the best of these and showed K-i = 4.5 nM against HIV PR and IC(50)s 0.58 mu M and 0.06 mu M in chronic and acute infections, respectively. These results suggest that the combination of the 4(S)-Cl atom and fused bicyclic heterocycles may be effective in improving their cellular penetration. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Some HIV-protease inhibitor derivatives having an N-carbomethoxycarbonyl-prolyl-phenylalanine benzyl ester (CPF) moiety as a binding site to gp120 were designed and synthesized. Almost all the compounds bearing CPF on the phenoxyacetyl group showed protease-inhibitory activity. Compounds 25a and 25b, which have the CPF moiety at the ortho- and meta-positions of the phenoxyacetyl group, respectively, had anti-HIV activity, although the others showed only protease-inhibitory activity. These results suggest that 25b binds to gp120 and inhibits HIV protease.
