Following the discovery that hydroxylated derivative 3 (Fig. 1) was one of the oxidative metabolites of the original lead 1, it was found that hydroxylated compound 4 possesses higher in vitro anti-HIV potency than the corresponding non-hydroxylated compound 2. Structural hybridation of 4 with the orally available analog 5 resulted in another orally-available spirodiketopiperazine CCR5 antagonist 6a that possesses more favorable pharmaceutical profile for use as a drug candidate.
继发现羟基衍生物 3(图 1)是原始先导化合物 1 的氧化代谢物之一后,人们发现羟基化合物 4 比相应的非羟基化合物 2 具有更高的体外抗 HIV 活性。将 4 与可口服的类似物 5 进行结构杂化,得到另一种可口服的螺二酮哌嗪 CCR5 拮抗剂 6a,其具有更有利的药物特性,可作为候选药物。
