significant challenge. In this study, a series of novel 2-mercaptobenzamide prodrugs were investigated for anti-HIV activity in the context of NCp7 inactivation. The molecules were synthesized from the corresponding thiosalicylic acids, and they are all crystalline solids and stable at room temperature. Derivatives with a range of amide side chains and aromatic substituents were synthesized and screened
人免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)核衣壳蛋白7(NCp7)是锌指蛋白,在病毒复制和成熟中起关键作用,并且是药物开发的有吸引力的靶标。但是,抑制NCp7的药物样分子的开发一直是一项重大挑战。在这项研究中,研究了一系列新型的2-巯基苯甲酰胺前药在NCp7失活的情况下的抗HIV活性。这些分子是由相应的硫代水杨酸合成的,它们都是结晶固体,在室温下稳定。合成了具有一系列酰胺侧链和芳族取代基的衍生物,并筛选了抗HIV活性。观察到广泛的抗病毒活性,根据芳香环和侧链上取代基的细微变化,IC50值范围为1至100μm。这些结构-活性关系的结果适合细胞内激活和与NCp7相互作用的可能模式,以解释抗病毒活性的变化。我们生产一系列巯基苯甲酰胺前药的策略代表了制备可筛选抗HIV活性文库的总体新方向。
