Abstract
A novel series of HIV protease inhibitors has been prepared. Replaceme nt of the P-2 carbamate of compound 1 [IC50 = 125 nM] with an alpha-hy droxy amide moiety results in a significant increase in anti-HIV prote ase activity [e. g., compound 25a; IC50 = 15 nM]. Furthermore, isomers with (R) absolute configuration at the P-2 site show greater inhibito ry activity than the corresponding (S)-isomers. A proposed binding mod e based on molecular modeling is used to rationalize the structure-act ivity relationships.
