Replication of HIV-1 requires specific interactions of Tat protein with TAR RNA. Disruption of Tat TAR RNA interaction could inhibit HIV-1 replication. Here four target compounds were designed and synthesized to bind to TAR RNA for blocking the interaction of Tat-TAR RNA. The core molecule 6,6'-diamino-6,6'-dideoxy-alpha,alpha-trehalose was obtained from selective bromination of, alpha,alpha-trehalose at C-6,6', followed by acetylation, azide displacement, deacetylation, and reduction. Coupling of the core molecule with the protected amino acid, then deprotection and guanidinylation generated the novel alpha,alpha-trehalose derivatives. Their abilities to inhibit Tat-TAR RNA interaction in human cells were determined by a Tat-dependent HIV-1 LTR-driven CAT assays. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
