A novel series of piperidine-linked amino-triazine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anti-HIV activity as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors on the basis of our previous work. Screening results indicated that most compounds showed excellent activity against wild-type HIV-1 with EC(50) values in low nanomolar concentration range (especially compound 6b3, EC(50) = 4.61 nM, SI = 5945) and high activity against K103N/Y181C resistant mutant strain of HIV-1 with EC(50) values in low micromolar concentration range. In addition, preliminary structure-activity relationship and molecular modeling of these new analogs were detailed in this manuscript.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
