Discovery of N-benzyl-N'-(4-pipyridinyl)urea CCR5 antagonists as anti-HIV-1 agents (II): modification of the acyl portion

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Dec 15;20(24):7401-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.10.042. Epub 2010 Oct 21.

Abstract

Modification of the acyl moiety in the CCR5 lead molecule 2 led to identification of several new classes of CCR5 antagonists. Antiviral activity and pharmacokinetic properties of the synthesized compounds were evaluated. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) derived from these studies further guided the optimization efforts, ultimately leading to the discovery of 36 with an acceptable drug-like profile.
