Abstract
Conformationally-constrained macrocyclic peptide-based hydroxyethylami nes, with 17- to 19-membered ring systems, have been designed and synt hesized as HIV protease inhibitors. Structure-activity relationships w ere consistent with molecular modeling studies, and certain cyclic inh ibitors were developed with HIV protease IC50 values of similar to-1 n M, and antiviral activities (HIV-1/RF infected MT-2 cells) of EC(50) 4 -8 nM.
