With the aim of developing novel inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus, various derivatives (10-17) related to SH-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine (PBTD) were prepared and tested in vitro. The title tricyclic derivatives were obtained by intramolecular cyclization of the open-chain intermediate arylpyrrylsulfones, followed by N-alkylation at position 10. Among test derivatives some 10-alkyl-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepin-11(10H)-one-5,5-dioxides were found to exert potent and specific activity against HIV-1. In particular, 7-chloro derivatives 11i and j showed a potency comparable to that of nevirapine. However, when the chloro atom was shifted to the 8 position, the related products were scarcely active or totally inactive. Replacement of the pyrrole with pyrrolidine led to inactive products and the reduction of SO2 to S strongly diminished the antiviral potency. PBTD derivatives active in cell cultures were also inhibitory to the recombinant HIV-1 RT in enzyme assays, thus allowing the conclusion that PBTDs are a new class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).
