Synthesis, evaluation and structure-activity relationships of triazine dimers as novel antiviral agents

This letter reports the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of a series of triazine dimers as novel antiviral agents. These compounds were obtained through a bivalent ligand approach in which two triazine moieties are covalently connected by suitable linkers. Several compounds showed submicromolar activity against wild-type HIV-1 and moderate activity against single mutant strains.
