Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 infection is a manageable chronic condition, with non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) remaining a cornerstone of antiretroviral therapy. Nevertheless, drug resistance to existing therapeutics is a serious and immediate concern. Using structure-based and scaffold-hopping approaches, we designed evolved diarylpyrimidine analogs targeting reverse transcriptase (RT), exploiting...
