Abstract
A series of 6-substituted 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-5-methylimidazo[4,5,1-jk][1,4]benzodiazepin- 2(1H)-ones (9) have been synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit the replication of the HIV-1 virus in MT-4 cells. Two synthetic methods are described, one of which allows the synthesis of single enantiomers of the final products. A structure-activity study was done within the series of compounds to determine the optimum group for the 6-position substitution and to determine whether the activity was enantiospecific at the 5-position, which was substituted with a methyl group. The best analogue, 9jj, inhibited HIV-1 with an IC50 of 4 microM, which is comparable to the activity level of DDI, a 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside-type structure undergoing clinical trials as an anti-AIDS therapy.Entities:
