用分子模拟方法研究HIV-1整合酶与咖啡酰基类抑制剂的相互作用

用分子对接和分子动力学(MD)模拟方法研究了一类咖啡酰基和没食子酰基类HIV-1整合酶抑制剂与整合酶之间的相互作用模式, 结果表明该类抑制剂分子上的两个侧链基团(咖啡酰基或没食子酰基)与整合酶的DDE基序之间的相互作用对抑制整合酶活性起到关键作用. 当侧链基团为没食子酰基时, 可以提高该类抑制剂与整合酶的结合能力. 采用线性相互作用能方法(LIE)计算了该类抑制剂与整合酶之间的结合自由能, 预测值与实验值相吻合, 均方根偏差RMSD为1.39 kJ•mol^-1, 以上结果可为基于结构的HIV-1整合酶抑制剂设计提供有用的信息.     

Novel 2-chloro-8-arylthiomethyldipyridodiazepinone derivatives with activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase

Based on the molecular modeling analysis against Y181C HIV-1 RT, dipyridodiazepinone derivatives containing an unsubstituted lactam nitrogen and 2-chloro-8-arylthiomethyl were synthesized via an efficient route. Some of them were evaluated for their antiviral activity against HIV-1 RT subtype E and were found to exhibit virustatic activity comparable to some clinically used therapeutic agents.     

Synthesis and anti-HIV-1 activity of the conjugates of gossypol with oligopeptides and D-glucosamine

A series of novel gossypol derivatives were synthesized and screened for their in vitro anti-HIV- 1I activity. The results showed that replacing the aldehyde groups of gossypol with certain oligopeptides and Dglucosamine not only reduced the cytotoxicity of gossypol derivatives but also enhanced their antiviral activity against HIV-1. Interestingly, D-glucosamine derivative of gossypol that lacked the COONa group also exhibited the same potent anti-HIV-1 activity as oligopeptide derivatives with the COONa group. These compounds blocked the entry of HIV-1ⅢB into target cell. which was similar to T20. Furthermore, the molecular docking analysis rationalized their anti-HIV-1 activity. The results also implied that certain oligopeptides and D-glucosamine were important moities to prepare gossypol derivatives as HIV- 1 entry inhibitors besides certain amino acids.     

Oligovalent amyloid-binding agents reduce SEVI-mediated enhancement of HIV-1 infection

This paper evaluates the use of oligovalent amyloid-binding molecules as potential agents that can reduce the enhancement of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in cells by semen-derived enhancer of virus infection (SEVI) fibrils. These naturally occurring amyloid fibrils found in semen have been implicated as mediators that can facilitate the attachment and internalization of HIV-1 virions to immune cells. Molecules that are capable of reducing the role of SEVI in HIV-1 infection may, therefore, represent a novel strategy to reduce the rate of sexual transmission of HIV-1 in humans. Here, we evaluated a set of synthetic, oligovalent derivatives of benzothiazole aniline (BTA, a known amyloid-binding molecule) for their capability to bind cooperatively to aggregated amyloid peptides and to neutralize the effects of SEVI in HIV-1 infection. We demonstrate that these BTA derivatives exhibit a general trend of increased binding to aggregated amyloids as a function of increasing valence number of the oligomer. Importantly, we find that oligomers of BTA show improved capability to reduce SEVI-mediated infection of HIV-1 in cells compared to a BTA monomer, with the pentamer exhibiting a 65-fold improvement in efficacy compared to a previously reported monomeric BTA derivative. These results, thus, support the use of amyloid-targeting molecules as potential supplements for microbicides to curb the spread of HIV-1 through sexual contact.

Synthesis and HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitory Activity of Furanone Derivatives

Twenty novel furanone derivatives,based on the structure of raltegravir which was the first HIV-1 integrase(IN) inhibitor approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration(US FDA),were designed,synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR,IR and MS.The biological activities of these compounds against HIV-1 IN in vitro were evaluated.The assay results indicate that the replacement of pyrimidinone with furanone decreased the inhibitory activity of the compounds to HIV-1 IN.Compounds 3i,3j and 3t show mode...
