A combinatorial chemistry approach was employed to prepare a restricted library of N-substituted S-acyl-2-mercapto-benzamide thioesters. It was shown that many members of this chemotype display anti-HIV activity via their ability to interact with HIV-1, HIV-2, SIV-infected cells, cell-free virus, and chronically and latently infected cells in a manner consistent with targeting of the highly conserved HIV-1 NCp7 zinc fingers. Compounds were initially screened using two different in vitro antiviral assays and evaluated for stability in neutral buffer containing 10% pooled human Serum using a spectrophotometric assay. These data revealed that there was no significant correlation between thioester stability and antiviral activity, however, a slight inverse correlation between serum stability and virucidal activity was noted. Based on the virucidal capability and the ability to select lead compounds to inhibit virus expression from latently infected TNFalpha-induced U1 cells, we next determined if these compounds could prevent HIV cell-to-cell transmission. Several thioesters demonstrated potent inhibition of HIV cell-to-cell transmission with EC50 values in the 80-100 nM range. Thus, we have optimized a series of restricted thioesters and provided evidence that serum stability is not required for antiviral activity. Moreover, selected compounds show potential for development as topical microbicides. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of ring-alkoxylated and ring-hydroxylated analogues of lucanthone was prepared and tested for antitumor activity. The most biologically interesting members of this group were the 7-hydroxylucanthone derivatives, 50 and 51, which gave T/C values in the NCI P-388 antitumor screen of 188 and 265, respectively. The apparent association constants and delta Tm values for a number of analogue-DNA complexes were determined to ascertain whether there was any quantitative correlation with biological activity. The most that can be said is that intercalation may be a necessary but far from sufficient condition for antitumor activity.

A new allosteric carrier was prepared. This compound consists of three crown ether subunits in which conformational information is transferred through two biphenyl systems. This system is able to complex nonionic species in both external crown ether subunits. The allosteric cooperativity in this system was established and its ability to transport Hg(CN)(2) has been studied.
