The HIV-1 protease is a validated drug target for the design of antiretroviral drugs to combat AIDS. We previously established the sulfoximine functionality as a valid transition state mimetic (TSM) in the HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PI) design and have identified a lead pseudosymmetric compound with nanomolar enzymatic inhibitory activity. Here, we report the asymmetric synthesis of this compound and
HIV-1蛋白酶是设计抗击艾滋病的抗逆转录病毒药物的有效药物靶标。我们先前在HIV-1蛋白酶抑制剂(PI)设计中建立了亚砜亚胺功能作为有效的过渡态模拟物(TSM),并确定了具有纳摩尔酶抑制活性的铅假对称化合物。在这里,我们报告该化合物的不对称合成及其在基于磺胺亚胺的拟肽类HIV-1蛋白酶抑制剂的合成中的应用。分子建模揭示了磺胺嘧啶抑制剂作为TSM结合的潜在模式。预测的绝对结合自由能表明与我们的酶抑制研究相似的抑制作用。
