Optimization of diarylazines as anti-HIV agents with dramatically enhanced solubility
摘要:
Non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase are reported that have ca. 100-fold greater solubility than the structurally related drugs etravirine and rilpivirine, while retaining high anti-viral activity. The solubility enhancements come from strategic placement of a morpholinylalkoxy substituent in the entrance channel of the NNRTI binding site. Compound 4d shows low-nanomolar activity similar to etravirine towards wild-type HIV-1 and key viral variants. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The invention relates to antibacterial and anti-mycobacterial drug compounds of formula I. It also relates to pharmaceutical formulations of antibacterial drug compounds. It also relates to uses of the derivatives in treating bacterial infections, and methods of treating bacterial infections. The invention is also directed to antibacterial drug compounds capable of treating bacterial infections that are currently hard to treat with existing drug compounds, e.g., those caused by resistant bacterial or mycobacterial strains.
