Abstract
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.
