Abstract
C 2-symmetric diols have been shown to be highly potent against HIV-1 protease (PR). However, gaining access to these compounds has been hampered by the need of multistep solution-phase reactions which are often tedious and inefficient. In this Letter, we have disclosed a solid-phase strategy for rapid preparation of small molecule-based, symmetric and asymmetric diols as potential HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Upon biological screening, we found one of them, SYM-5, to be a potent and selective inhibitor ( K i = 400 nM) against HIV-1 protease.
