G. Heinisch et al., THE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF DIAZINYL-SUBSTITUTED THIOUREA DERIVATIVES ON HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1 REVERSE-TRANSCRIPTASE, Antiviral chemistry & chemotherapy, 8(5), 1997, pp. 443-446
Starting from 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine, a series of N-daizinyl-N'-[2-(
2-pyridyl)ethyl]thioureas was prepared via the (2-pyridyl)ethylisothio
cyanate and was screened as non-nucleoside human immunodeficiency viru
s type 1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Derivatives bearing a 3-pyr
idazinyl or a 4-pyrimidinyl moiety turned out to be the most potent co
mpounds. However, they exhibited less activity than nevirapine or trov
irdine.
