The emergence of a multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strain and the toxicity of anti-HIV-1 compounds approved for clinical use are the most significant problems facing antiretroviral therapies. Therefore, it is crucial to find new agents to overcome these issues. In this study, we synthesized a series of new oxoquinoline acyclonucleoside phosphonate analogues (ethyl 1-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methyl]-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylates g class=""boldFont"">3ag>-g class=""boldFont"">3kg>), which contained different substituents at the C6 or C7 positions of the oxoquinoline nucleus and an N1-bonded phosphonate group. We subsequently investigated these compounds¡¯ in vitro inhibitory effects against HIV-1-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The most active compounds were the fluoro-substituted derivatives g class=""boldFont"">3fg> and g class=""boldFont"">3gg>, which presented excellent EC50 values of 0.4 ¡À 0.2 ¦ÌM (g class=""boldFont"">3fg>) and 0.2 ¡À 0.005 ¦ÌM (g class=""boldFont"">3gg>) and selectivity index values (SI) of 6240 and 14675, respectively.
