Abstract

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of potential HIV-1 protease inhibitors incorporating different heterocycles are described. The variation of heteroatom in such molecules has displayed totally different biological activities and a benzothiophene containing inhibitor has shown high potency against wild type HIV-1 protease with IC(50)=60 nM, thanks to the lower desolvation penalty to be payed by such hydrophobic moiety.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
