Ta. Rano et al., Combinatorial diversification of indinavir: In vivo mixture dosing of an HIV protease inhibitor library, BIOORG MED, 10(14), 2000, pp. 1527-1530
An efficient combination solution-phase/solid-phase route enabling the dive
rsification of the P-1', P-2', and P-3 subsites of indinavir has been estab
lished. The synthetic sequence can facilitate the rapid generation of HIV p
rotease inhibitors possessing more favorable pharmacokinetic properties as
well as enhanced potencies. Multiple compound dosing in vivo may also accel
erate the identification of potential drug candidates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sc
