Four novel antiviral WIN compounds, that contain a methyl tetrazole ri
ng as well as isoxazole, pyridazine or acetylfuran rings, have had the
ir structures determined in human rhinovirus serotype 14 at 2.9 Angstr
om resolution. These compounds bind in the VP1 hydrophobic pocket, but
are shifted significantly towards the pocket pore when compared to pr
eviously examined WIN compounds. A putative water network at the pocke
t pore is positioned to hydrogen bond with these four WIN compounds, a
nd this network can account for potency differences seen in structural
ly similar WIN compounds.
