Scaffold hopping in the rational design of novel HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Jun 15;17(12):3362-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.03.097. Epub 2007 Apr 5.

Abstract

High-throughput screening hit 1 was identified as a potent, broad-spectrum, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) of HIV-1 replication. Analysis of the bound conformation of analogs of this inhibitor via molecular modeling and NMR contributed to the design of novel tertiary amide, carbamate, and thiocarbamate based NNRTIs.
