Abstract

The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of six HIV-1 protease inhibitors incorporating isosorbide moiety as novel P2 ligands are described. All the compounds are very potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors with IC50 values in the nanomolar or picomolar ranges (0.05-0.43 nM). Molecular docking studies revealed the formation of an extensive hydrogen-bonding network between the inhibitor and the active site. Particularly, the isosorbide-derived P2 ligand is involved in strong hydrogen bonding interactions with the backbone atoms.

Keywords: Design; Drug-resistant; HIV-1 protease inhibitors; Isosorbides; P2 ligand; Synthesis.
