The development of novel monobactam inhibitors of HCMV protease incorporating a carbon side chain at C-4 and a urea function at N-1 is described. Substitution with small groups at the C-3 position of the beta-lactam ring gave an increase in enzymatic activity and in stability; however, a lack of selectivity against other serine proteases was noted. The use of both tri- and tetrasubstituted urea functionalities gave effective inhibitors of HCMV protease. Benzyl substitution of the urea moiety was beneficial, especially when strong electron-withdrawing groups where attached at the para position. Modest antiviral activity was found in a plaque reduction assay.
