Sidechain-linked inhibitors of HIV-1 protease dimerization
摘要:
There is a great need for alternative modes of inhibition for the design of anti-HIV therapies, due to the increased resistance of HIV to currently approved drugs. A novel strategy for generating potent dimerization inhibitors of HIV-1 protease is described based on sidechain-linked interfacial peptides. In a number of cases the activity of these agents against HIV-1 protease was found to be among the most potent reported, with inhibitory constants in the low nM range. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The role of HIV protease in viral replication has made it a significant target for inhibition. The focus of our studies is to target the dimerization interface of HIV-1 protease because disruption of the dimer will inhibit enzymatic activity. The initial strategy began with cross-linked peptides derived from the interface of HIV protease. Herein we describe the design of a focused library of agents
