Synthesis of dammarane-type triterpene derivatives and their ability to inhibit HIV and HCV proteases
摘要:
We synthesized dammarane-type triterpene derivatives and evaluated their ability to inhibit HIV-1 and HCV proteases to understand their structure-activity relationships. All of the mono- and di-succinyl derivatives (5a-5f) were powerful inhibitors of HIV-1 protease (IC50 < 10 mu M). However, only di-succinyl (5e) and 2,3-seco-2,3-dioic acid (3b) derivatives similarly inhibited HCV protease (IC50 < 10 mu M). A-nor dammarane- type triterpenes (4a and 4b, IC50 10.0 and 29.9 mu M, respectively) inhibited HIV-1 protease moderately or strongly, but were inactive against HCV protease. All compounds that powerfully inhibited HIV-1 or HCV protease did not appreciably inhibit the general human proteases, renin and trypsin (IC50 > 1000 mu M). These findings indicated that the mono-succinyl dammarane type derivatives (5a-5d) selectively inhibited HIV-1 protease and that the di-succinyl (5e, 5f) as well as 2,3-seco-2,3-dioic acid (3b) derivatives preferably inhibited both viral proteases.
