Based upon molecular insights from the X-ray structures of inhibitor-bound HIV-1 protease complexes, we have designed a series of isophthalamide-derived inhibitors incorporating substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines and thiazolidines as P2-P3 ligands for specific interactions in the S2-S3 extended site. Compound 4b has shown an enzyme K<sub>i</sub> of 0.025nM and antiviral IC<sub>50</sub> of 69nM. An X-ray crystal structure of inhibitor 4b-HIV-1 protease complex was determined at 1.33Å resolutio ...[more]
