Design of HIV-1 protease inhibitors with C3-substituted hexahydrocyclopentafuranyl urethanes as P2-ligands: synthesis, biological evaluation, and protein-ligand X-ray crystal structure.

Abstract excerpt

We report the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and the X-ray crystal structure of a novel inhibitor bound to the HIV-1 protease. Various C3-functionalized cyclopentanyltetrahydrofurans (Cp-THF) were designed to interact with the flap Gly48 carbonyl or amide NH in the S2-subsite of the HIV-1 protease. We investigated the potential of those functionalized ligands in combination with hydroxyethylsulfonamide...
