Dw. Zaharevitz et al., Discovery of novel HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors using a combination of 3D database searching and 3D QSAR, MED CHEM RE, 9(7-8), 1999, pp. 551-564
3D searches in a database of over 100,000 compounds were followed by evalua
tions of hits in a 3D QSAR model for the non-nucleoside binding site of HIV
-1 reverse transcriptase. The procedure resulted in the identification of a
set of novel and structurally diverse inhibitors and required testing of o
nly 225 compounds.
