Dehydracetic acid difluoroborane complex, 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-yl difluoridoborate, was synthesized and characterized. The complex was involved into condensation reactions at the acetyl group with various aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes, and with the 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde it reacted also at the methyl group in the position 6.
Discovery of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyranone derivatives and their difluoridoborate complexes as a novel class of HIV-1 integrase Inhibitors
摘要:
HIV-1 integrase (IN) has emerged as an important therapeutic target for anti-HIV drug development. Its uniqueness to the virus and its critical role in the viral life cycle makes IN suitable for selective inhibition. The recent approval of Raltegravir (MK-0518) has created a surge in interest and great optimism in the field. In our ongoing IN drug design research, we herein report the discovery of substituted analogs of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyranones and their difluoridoborate complexes as novel IN inhibitors. In many of these compounds, complexation with boron difluoride increased the potency and selectivity of IN inhibition. Compound 9 was most active with an IC50 value of 9 mu M and 3 mu M for 3'-processing and strand transfer inhibition, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
