The design and discovery of novel amide CCR5 antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Feb 15;19(4):1084-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.01.012. Epub 2009 Jan 10.

Abstract

The synthesis of a range of novel amine-containing structures and their primary potency as inhibitors of HIV-1 fusion via blocking of the CCR5 receptor is described. The development of the medicinal chemistry strategy and SAR's which led to the identification of the piperidine amide compounds 33 and 36 as excellent leads for further evaluation is described, along with key physicochemical data which highlighted their lead potential.
