A series of CCR5 antagonists representing the thiophene-3-yl-methyl ureas were designed that met the pharmacological criteria for HIV-1 inhibition and mitigated a human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) inhibition liability. Reducing lipophilicity was the main design criteria used to identify compounds that did not inhibit the hERG channel, but subtle structural modifications were also important. Interestingly, within this series, compounds with low hERG inhibition prolonged the action potential ...[more]
