Abstract
3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (DHPMs) were selected and derivatized through a HIV-1 replication assay based on GFP reporter cells. Compounds 14, 25, 31, and 36 exhibited significant inhibition of HIV-1 replication with a good safety profile. Chiral separation of each enantiomer by fractional crystallization showed that only the S enantiomer retained anti-HIV activity. Compound (S)-40, a novel and potent DHPM analog, could serve as an advanced lead for further development and the determination of the mechanism of action.
