Abstract
Based on crystallographic overlays of the known inhibitors TMC125 and R221239 complexed in RT, we designed a novel series of 4-phenoxy-6-(phenylamino)pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives as HIV NNRTIs by molecular hybridization approach. The biological testing results indicated that 2-pyridone scaffold of these inhibitors was indispensable for their anti-HIV-1 activity, and substitution of halogen at the 3-position of the 2-pyridone ring would decrease the anti-HIV activity. Four most potent compounds had anti-HIV-1 IIIB activities at low micromolar concentrations (EC50=0.15–0.84μM), comparable to that of nevirapine and delavidine. Some compounds were selected to test their anti-HIV-1 RT inhibitory action and to perform molecular modeling studies to predict the binding mode of these 2-pyridone derivatives.
