Synthesis of C-methyl chalcones as HIV-integrase inhibitors—computational approach
摘要:
Eight new 3-methyl chalcones (3a-h) were synthesized for active inhibition against HIV-integrase basing on docking studies on a series of titled compounds. The selected integrase (IN) enzyme is taken as an attractive target for therapeutic drug design. The protease, reverse transcriptase, and IN were the three viral enzymes encoded within the HIV pol gene and translated as a polyprotein. Retroviral IN is an enzyme produced by a retrovirus (such as HIV) that enables its genetic material to be integrated into the DNA of the infected cell. Basing on the literature and computational study new analogs of C-methyl chalcones were identified as antiretroviral drugs. Prominent G-score was obtained for compounds 3e (-6.86604), 3g (-6.8236), and 3h (-6.58996) out of the estimated series of analogs.
