Abstract excerpt
A new series of diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as novel HIV-1 NNRTIs to further explore the chemical space surrounding the "hydrophobic channel" of the NNRTI binding pocket (NNIBP), guided by the comprehensive analysis of X-ray structural biology data of HIV-1 RT/NNRTI complexes and molecular modeling. Encouragingly, most of the synthesized DAPYs were found to be active against...
