Abstract: The most active compounds, N-1 cinnamyloxymethyl- and N-1 2-methyl-3-phenylallyloxymethyl substituted 5-ethyl-6-(3, 5-dimethylbenzyl)uracils (5b and 6b), showed activity against wild-type HIV-1 in the nanomolar range, and against
Y181C and
Y181C+
K103N, mutant strains known to be resistant to MKC-442, in the micromolar range.
