Sb. Singh et al., SELECTIVE AND CONTROLLED HYDROLYSIS OF CHLOROPEPTIN I - HIV-1 INTEGRASE ACTIVITY OF FRAGMENTS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(48), 1998, pp. 8769-8770
Selective amide bond cleavages of chloropeptin I were accomplished usi
ng trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and a mixture of acetic acid, hydrochlo
ric acid and thioglycolic acid. The hydrolysis products maintaining th
e bicyclic core retained HIV-1 integrase inhibitory activity similar t
o that of the chloropeptin I. The hydrolysis products and their HIV-1
integrase activities are described. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
