1-alkoxymethyl-5-alkyl-6-naphthylmethyl uracils, which are novel 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT) analogues, were synthesized for evaluation as selective and potent nonnucleoside human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The anti-HIV-1 activity of these compounds was assayed in vitro using HIV-1 infected MT-4 and CEM bioassays. The EC50, CC50 and SI were recorded and calculated. The appropriate position, especially in the 1-position of the naphthyl ring, led to dramatic increases in potency, in both MT-4 and CEM cellular assays. The most important compounds in this series, 1-ethoxymethyl-5-isopropyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)thymine 8l (IC50=17 nM, CC50=38332 nM, SI=2229) and 1-benzyloxymethyl-5-ethyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)thymine 8n (IC50=17 nM, CC50=32560 nM, SI=1889) were significantly more potent than HEPT (EC50=7.0 microM, CD50=740 microM) in the anti-HIV-1 in vitro cellular assay.
1-烷氧基甲基-5-烷基-6-萘甲基尿嘧啶是新型的1-[(2-羟乙氧基)甲基]-6-(苯硫基)胸腺嘧啶(HEPT)类似物,被合成用于评估其作为选择性强效非核苷类人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)-1逆转录酶抑制剂的活性。使用HIV-1感染的MT-4和CEM生物测定法在体外测定这些化合物的抗HIV-1活性。记录并计算EC50、CC50和SI。合适的位置,特别是萘环的1位,在MT-4和CEM细胞测定中均导致活性显著增加。该系列中最重要的化合物,1-乙氧基甲基-5-异丙基-6-(1-萘甲基)胸腺嘧啶8l(IC50 = 17 nM,CC50 = 38332 nM,SI = 2229)和1-苄氧基甲基-5-乙基-6-(1-萘甲基)胸腺嘧啶8n(IC50 = 17 nM,CC50 = 32560 nM,SI = 1889)在体外抗HIV-1细胞测定中比HEPT(EC50 = 7.0 microM,CD50 = 740 microM)的活性显著更高。
