Design and synthesis of novel HIV-1 protease inhibitors incorporating oxyindoles as the P2'-ligands

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Apr 1;16(7):1869-73. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.01.011. Epub 2006 Feb 15.

Abstract

A series of novel oxyindole-derived HIV-1 protease inhibitors were designed and synthesized based upon our X-ray crystal structure of inhibitor 2 (TMC-114) bound to HIV-1 protease. The effects of substituents, spirocyclic rings, and ring sizes have been investigated. A number of inhibitors exhibited low nanomolar inhibitory potencies against HIV protease.
