摘要
As part of a systematic SAR study on the 3-iodo-4-phenoxypyridinone 3 (IOPY) type non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, the analogues 4a–4z bearing different C-3 substituents were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV activity against wild-type HIV-1 and four of the principal HIV mutant strains (K103N, Y181C, Y188L, and I100L). The results show that the 3-vinyl analogue 4j is the only compound which displays anti-HIV activity comparable to IOPY 3, and in this respect represents a possible back-up to this lead molecule.
