Synthesis and antiviral activity of monobactams inhibiting the human cytomegalovirus protease
摘要:
A series of monobactam inhibitors of HCMV (N-o) protease bearing a heterocycle linked by a methylene group at C-4 is described. Inhibitors containing a heterocycle such as a 2-furyl, 2-thiophenyl, 4-methyl-2-tetrazole and 2-benzothiazole were found to be active in a plaque reduction assay. Furthermore, 2-benzothiazole derivatives were shown to inhibit the HCMV protease activity inside cells by using a cell transfection assay, indicating that their antiviral activity in the plaque reduction assay could be attributed to protease inhibition.
