Synthesis of styrylbenzofuran derivatives as styrylquinoline analogues for HIV-1 integrase inhibitor.

A series of styrylbenzofuran derivatives (8a-i) as styrylquinoline isosters were efficiently prepared by Wittig reaction and evaluated for inhibitory activity against HIV-1 integrase. In this series, compounds 8g, 8h and 8i containing a free catechol ring showed moderate inhibitory activities (IC50= approximately 40 microM) against HIV-1 integrase, while less than the corresponding styrylquinoline compound (I).

Design and development of integrase inhibitors as anti-HIV agents.

A review is presented on different categories of compounds that have been studied for the inhibition of the HIV-1 integrase to develop anti-HIV agents. These compounds are: oligonucleotides (double-stranded, triplex, and G-quartet), curcumin analogues, polyhydroxylated aromatic compounds, diketo acids, caffeoyl- and galloyl - based compounds, hydrazides and amides, tetracyclines, and depsides and depsidones. For all these compounds, the important structural features essential for the inhibition of the integrase are pointed out.

Dynamic pharmacophore model optimization: identification of novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.

We extended the previously described dynamic pharmacophore model studies of HIV-1 integrase (IN) by considering more key residues in the active site, including Mg2+. First, we applied a Monte Carlo sampling method to map the complementary features of the IN binding surface. Two types of dynamic pharmacophore models were generated. One considers Mg2+ as part of the IN and therefore as an excluded volume, and the other treats Mg2+ as a positively charged feature, representing a new type of pharmacophore model aimed to identify compounds potentially preventing Mg2+ binding. Second, we validated the models with 385 known active (IC50 < 20 microM) and 235 (IC50 > 100 microM) inactive IN inhibitors. Third, we used the derived models to screen our small molecule database. Twenty-two structurally novel compounds were tested in an in vitro assay specific for IN, and two of them showed IC50 < or = 10 microM for strand transfer reaction.

6-aryl-2,4-dioxo-5-hexenoic acids, novel integrase inhibitors active against HIV-1 multiplication in cell-based assays.

A series of 6-aryl-2,4-dioxo-5-hexenoic acids, were synthesized and tested against HIV-1 in cell-based assays and against recombinant HIV-1 integrase (rIN) in enzyme assays. Compound 8a showed potent antiretroviral activity (EC(50)=1.5 microM) and significant inhibition against rIN (strand transfer: IC(50)=7.9 microM; 3'-processing: IC(50)=7.0 microM). A preliminary molecular modeling study was carried out to compare the spatial conformation of 8a with those of L-731988 (4) and 5CITEP (7) in the IN core.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of geminal disulfones as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.

Integration of HIV-1 viral DNA into the host genome is carried out by HIV-integrase (IN) and is a critical step in viral replication. Although several classes of compounds have been reported to inhibit IN in enzymatic assays, inhibition is not always correlated with antiviral activity. Moreover, potent antiviral IN inhibitors such as the chicoric acids do not act upon the intended enzymatic target but behave as entry inhibitors instead. The charged nature of the chicoric acids contributes to poor cellular uptake, and these compounds are further plagued by rapid ester hydrolysis in vivo. To address these critical deficiencies, we designed neutral, nonhydrolyzable analogues of the chicoric acids. Herein, we report the synthesis, enzyme inhibition studies, and cellular antiviral data for a series of geminal disulfones. Of the 10 compounds evaluated, 8 showed moderate to high inhibition of IN in purified enzyme assays. The purified enzyme data correlated with antiviral assays for all but two compounds, suggesting alternative modes of inhibition. Time-of-addition studies were performed on these analogues, and the results indicate that they inhibit an early stage in the replication process, perhaps entry. In contrast, the most potent member of the correlative group shows behavior consistent with IN being the cellular target.

Enantioselective total synthesis of a novel polyketide natural product (+)-integrasone, an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor.

Enantioselective total synthesis of the recently isolated, novel polyketide natural product (+)-integrasone has been accomplished from the readily available Diels-Alder adduct of cyclopentadiene and p-benzoquinone. An enzymatically desymmetrized epoxyquinone building block has been elaborated through a series of regio- , chemo- and stereocontrolled steps to the final bicyclic framework of the natural product.
