The invention provides novel compounds that enhance dimerization of the subunits of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase having mutations associated with resistance to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Such compounds inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity and as such, inhibit HIV-1, in particular HIV-1 resistant to conventional NNRTIs. The invention provides a method of determining whether a compound enhances formation of a complex between a p66 and p51 subunit polypeptides of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, in which the p66 subunit has at least one or more mutations associated with resistance of HIV-1 to at least one NNRTI. The invention further provides methods of using a compound that enhances formation of a complex between a p66 subunit polypeptide having at least one mutation associated with resistance of HIV-1 to at least one NNRTI and a p51 subunit of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
本发明提供了新型化合物,这些化合物可增强具有与非核苷类逆转录酶
抑制剂(NNRTIs)耐药性相关突变的 HIV-1 逆转录酶亚基的二聚化。这类化合物可抑制 HIV-1 逆转录酶的活性,从而抑制 HIV-1,特别是对传统 NNRTIs 产生耐药性的 HIV-1。本发明提供了一种确定化合物是否能增强 HIV-1 逆转录酶 p66 和 p51 亚基
多肽之间复合物形成的方法,其中 p66 亚基具有至少一种或多种与 HIV-1 对至少一种 NNRTI 的耐药性相关的突变。本发明进一步提供了使用一种化合物的方法,该化合物可增强具有至少一种与HIV-1对至少一种NNRTI的耐药性相关的突变的p66亚基
多肽与HIV-1逆转录酶的p51亚基之间复合物的形成。
