Structure−Activity Relationship Studies of Novel Benzophenones Leading to the Discovery of a Potent, Next Generation HIV Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor
摘要:
Despite the progress of the past two decades, there is still considerable need for safe, efficacious drugs that target human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This is particularly true for the growing number of patients infected with virus resistant to currently approved HIV drugs. Our high throughput screening effort identified a benzophenone template as a potential nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). This manuscript describes our extensive exploration of the benzophenone structure-activity relationships, which culminated in the identification of several compounds with very potent inhibition of both wild type and clinically relevant NNRTI-resistant mutant strains of HIV. These potent inhibitors include 70h (GW678248), which has in vitro antiviral assay IC50 values of 0.5 nM against wild-type HIV, 1 nM against the K103N mutant associated with clinical resistance to efavirenz, and 0.7 nM against the Y181C mutant associated with clinical resistance to nevirapine. Compound 70h has also demonstrated relatively low clearance in intravenous pharmacokinetic studies in three species, and it is the active component of a drug candidate which has progressed to phase 2 clinical studies.

are provided in the specification. Compounds of Formula I are useful for the treatment of diseases associated with γ-secretase activity, including Alzheimer's disease.
The present invention relates the use of compounds having the general Formula I, wherein the definitions or R1 and R2 are provided in the specification. Said compounds of Formula I are useful for the synthesis of a variety of g-secretase modulators, which are in turn useful for the treatment of diseases associated with y-secretase activity, including Alzheimer´s disease.

The acid mediated ortho-iodination of Weinrebamidesusing a readily available catalyst is described. The selective ortho-iodination of Weinrebamides, challenging substrates in directed C–H activations, and also of benzamides is achieved. The process works under mild conditions and tolerates air and moisture, having a great potential for industrial applications. The methodology can be applied under
