The design and synthesis of butyl chain derivatives at the indane ring 3-position of our lead CD4-mimetic compound BNM-III-170 that inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection are reported. Optimization efforts were guided by crystallographic and computational analysis of the small-molecule ligands of the Phe43 cavity of the envelope glycoprotein gp120. Biological evaluation of - revealed that members of this series of CD4-mimetic compounds are able to inhibit HIV-1 viral entry into target cells more potently and with greater breadth compared to BNM-III-170. Crystallographic analysis of the binding pocket of , , and revealed a novel hydrogen bonding interaction between His105 and a primary hydroxyl group on the butyl side chain. Further optimization of this interaction with the His105 residue holds the promise of more potent CD4-mimetic compounds.
报道了在我们的先导CD4模拟化合物BNM-III-170的茚满环3位上设计和合成丁基链衍生物,该化合物可抑制人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)感染。优化工作以包膜糖蛋白gp120的Phe43腔小分子配体的晶体学和计算分析为指导。对该系列CD4模拟化合物的生物学评估表明,与BNM-III-170相比,该系列化合物能够更有效且更广泛地抑制HIV-1病毒进入靶细胞。对[具体化合物名称1]、[具体化合物名称2]和[具体化合物名称3]结合口袋的晶体学分析揭示了His105与丁基侧链上的伯羟基之间存在新型氢键相互作用。与His105残基进一步优化这种相互作用有望得到更有效的CD4模拟化合物。
