Abstract: Against clinically relevant HIV-1 mutants (
K103N,
Y181C, and
Y188L) as well as in enzyme (wt and
K103N,
Y181I, and
L100I mutated
RTs) assays, compounds carrying an ethyl/ iso-propyl group at C5 and a 2,6-dichloro-/2-chloro-6-fluoro-benzyl moiety at C6 were the most potent derivatives, also characterized by low fold resistance ratio.
