Abstract: The more potent 2-substituted dipyridodiazepinones were evaluated against mutant
RT enzymes (
L100I RT,
K103N RT,
P236L RT, and
E138K RT) that confer resistance to other non-nucleoside
RT inhibitors, and compounds 42, 62, and 67, with pyrrolyl, aminophenyl, and aminopyridyl substituents, respectively, at the 2-position, were found to be effective inhibitors of these mutant enzymes also.
