Abstract: Newly synthesized p-cyanovinyl-DAANs (8a-8g) with different R1 side chains plus prior active p-cyanoethyl-DAANs (4a-4c) were evaluated not only for anti-HIV potency against both wild-type HIV virus and rilpivirine-resistant (
E138K,
E138K+
M184I) viral replication, but also for multiple drug-like properties, including aqueous solubility, lipophilicity, and metabolic stability in human liver microsomes and human plasma.
Abstract: This study revealed that both ester and amide R1 substituents led to low nanomolar anti-HIV potency against wild-type and rilpivirine-resistant viral strains (
E138K-resistance fold changes<3).
Introduction: Furthermore, these same DAANs also inhibited the
E138K+
M184I viral strain with resistance FCs ranging from 1.4 to 6.3, better than or sim
