Antagonists of the human CCR5 receptor as anti-HIV-1 agents. part 1: discovery and initial structure-activity relationships for 1 -amino-2-phenyl-4-(piperidin-1-yl)butanes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Jan 22;11(2):259-64. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00637-5.

Abstract

Screening of the Merck sample collection for compounds with CCR5 receptor binding afforded (2S)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-[N-(methyl)-N-(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-4-[spiro(2,3-dihydrobenzthiophene-3,4'-piperidin-1'-yl)]butane S-oxide (4) as a potent lead structure having an IC50 binding affinity of 35 nM. Herein, we describe the discovery of this lead structure and our initial structure activity relationship studies directed toward the requirement for and optimization of the 1-amino fragment.
