Ds. Holmes et al., THE DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL HYDROXYPROLINE INHIBITORS OF HIV-1 PROTEINASE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(8), 1993, pp. 1485-1491
The synthesis and activity of novel hydroxyproline inhibitors of HIV-1
proteinase is described. Compound (R)-4 was a potent inhibitor, IC50
= 0.07 muM, however it is likely that the thiazolidine moiety rather t
han the novel hydroxyproline group is the primary determinant of bindi
