Aryl diketoacids (ADK) and their bioisosteres are among the most promising HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors. Previously, we designed a series of ADK dimers as a new class of IN inhibitors that were hypothesized to target two divalent metal ions on the active site of IN. Herein we present a further structure–activity relationship (SAR) study with respect to the substituent effect of the ADK and the dimerization with conformationally constrained linkers such as piperazine, 4-amino-piperidine, piperidin-4-ol, and trans-cyclohexan-1,4-diamine. The substituents on the phenyl ring as well as the spatial orientation of the two diketo units were observed to play important roles in the IN inhibitory potency. The hydrophobic group was an optimal substitution at the 3-position of the aryl ring. The piperazine and 4-amino-piperidine linkers brought about the most potent analogs among the hydrophobic group or halogen substituted ADK dimers. The docking studies suggested that the bulky hydrophobic substitution at 3-phenyl ring and the linker of 4-amino-piperidine were beneficial for adopting an active conformation to achieve strong interactions with the active site Mg2+ and the key residue E152 within the catalytic core domain. This study is a significant extension of our previous report on the dimeric ADK-containing IN inhibitors, providing a new promising template for further lead optimization.
A new class of ADK dimer inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase was designed and synthesized by employing conformationally constrained diamine as linker. The substituent on the phenyl portion and the orientation of the linker were investigated with respect to the potency-enhancing effect.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
