摘要
Herein, alkenylpiperidine and alkynylpiperidine moieties were introduced into the left wing of DAPYs (diarylpyrimidines) to explore the new site of the NNIBP (non-nucleoside inhibitor binding pocket) protein-solvent interface region via the structure-based drug design strategy. All the synthesized compounds displayed nanomolar to submicromolar activity against WT (wild-type) HIV-1. Among all, compound FT1 (EC50 = 19 nM) was found to be the most active molecule, which is better than NVP (EC50 = 0.10 μM). In addition, most of the compounds displayed micromolar activity against K103N and E138K mutant strains, while FT1 (EC50(K103N) = 50 nM, EC50(E138K) = 0.19 µM) still has the most effective activity. The molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that the presence of pyridine moiety of FT1 was essential and played a significant role in its binding with RT (reverse transcriptase).
