A new structural theme in C2-symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitors: ortho-Substituted P1/P1′ side chains
摘要:
In this report, the rapid syntheses of 24 novel C-2-symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitors are described. Two ortho-iodobenzyloxy containing C-terminal duplicated inhibitors served as starting materials for microwave-enhanced palladium(0)-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions (Suzuki, Sonogashira, Heck, and Negishi). Highly potent inhibitors equipped with ortho-functionalized P1/P1' side chains as the structural theme were identified. Computational efforts were applied to study the binding mode of this class of inhibitors and to establish structure-activity relationships. The overall orientation of the inhibitors in the active site was reproduced by docking which suggested three possible conformations of the P1/P1' groups of which two seem more plausible.
