Novel Indolyl Aryl Sulfones Active against HIV-1 Carrying NNRTI Resistance Mutations: Synthesis and SAR Studies
摘要:
The potent anti-HIV-1 activities of L-737,126 (2) and PAS sulfones prompted us to design and test against HIV-1 in acutely infected MT-4 cells a number of novel 1- and 3-benzenesulfonylindoles. Indoles belonging to the 1-benzenesulfonyl series were found poorly or totally inactive. On the contrary, some of the 3-benzenesulfonyl derivatives turned out to be as potent as 2, being endowed with potencies in the low nanomolar concentration range. In particular, (2-methylphenyl)sulfonyl (72) and (3-methylphenyl)sulfonyl (73) derivatives showed EC50 values of 1 nM. Introduction of two methyl groups at positions 3 and 5 of the phenyl ring of 2 furnished derivatives (80 and 83) which showed very potent and selective anti-HIV-1 activity not only against the wt strain, but also against mutants carrying NNRTI-resistant mutations at positions 103 and 181 of the reverse transcriptase gene.

Non-nucleosidereversetranscriptaseinhibitors (NNRTIs) activeagainst NNRTI-resistant mutants were obtained by introducing two methyl groups at positions 3 and 5 of the benzenesulfonyl moiety of L-737,126 (1) and coupling one to three glycinamide/alaninamide units to its carboxyamide function. In cell-based assays, the new derivatives showed activities againstHIV-1wildtype and NNRTI-resistant
The invention as disclosed herein is a method and composition for the treatment of HIV in humans and other host animals, that includes the administration of an effective HIV treatment amount of a phenylindole as described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compounds of this invention either possess antiviral (i.e., anti-HIV) activity, or are metabolized to a compound that exhibits such activity.
construction of enantioenriched γ-azido nitriles through the chiral sulfide-catalyzed asymmetric electrophilic thioazidation of allylic nitriles is disclosed. A wide range of electron-deficient and -rich aryl, heterocyclic aryl, and alkyl substituents are suitable on the substrates of allylic nitriles. The regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivities of the reactions are excellent. As versatile platform
compounds in both organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we present a copper-catalyzed sulfur alkylation of sulfenamides with N-sulfonylhydrazones. In contrast to prior findings, hydrazones derived from aldehydes act as donor-type carbene precursors, effectively engaging in coupling with sulfenamides via a copper catalyst, demonstrating exclusive S selectivity. The utility of the protocol was

New potent indolylarylsulfone (IAS) HIV-I NNRTIs were obtained by coupling natural and unnatural amino acids to the 2-carboxamide and introducing different electron-withdrawing substituents at position 4 and 5 of the indole nucleus. The new IASs inhibited the HIV-1 replication in human T-lymphocyte (CEM) cells at low/subnanomolar concentration and were weakly cytostatic. Against the mutant L100I, K103N, and Y181C RT HIV-1 strains in CEM cells, sulfones 3, 4, 19, 27, and 31 were comparable to EFV. The new IASs were inhibitors to Coxsackie B4 virus at low micromolar (2-9 mu M) concentrations. Superimposition of PLANTS docked conformations of IASs 19 and 9 revealed different hydrophobic interactions of the 3,5-dimethylphenyl group, for which a staking interaction with Tyr181 aromatic side chain was observed. The binding mode of 19 was not affected by the L100I mutation and was consistent with the interactions reported for the WT strain.
