Jw. Corbett et al., Trifluoromethyl-containing 3-alkoxymethyl- and 3-aryloxymethyl-2-pyridinones are potent inhibitors of HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase, BIOORG MED, 11(3), 2001, pp. 309-312
3-Alkoxymethyl- and 3-aryloxymethyl-2-pyridinones were synthesized and eval
uated for activity as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRT
Is) of HIV-I. It was found that several compounds were potent inhibitors of
HIV-I with the most potent compound 24 exhibiting an IC90 = 32 nM. Compoun
d 24 also possessed a potent resistance profile as demonstrated by submicro
molar IC(90)s against several clinically meaningful mutant virus strains. (
