Fragment Based Strategies for Discovery of Novel HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase and Integrase Inhibitors

Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a global health problem. While combined antiretroviral therapy has been successful in controlling the virus in patients, HIV can develop resistance to drugs used for treatment, rendering available drugs less effective and limiting treatment options. Initiatives to find novel drugs for HIV treatment are ongoing, although traditional drug design approaches often focus on known binding sites for inhibition of established drug targets like reverse transcriptase and integr… Show more

“…Table 1 shows RT inhibition and SPR dissociation constants for Series 1. The hit compound B-1 for the NNRTI Adjacent site was found to have a lower potency when tested in the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (DDDP) activity assay used in this study compared to data from Bauman et al which used an assay that detects inhibition of both DNA polymerase and RNase H activity [ 6 ]. Substitution at some sites on the pyridine greatly reduced inhibition.…”

“…Binding efficiency can be quantified by the ligand efficiency (LE) metric [ 21 ]. LE is the free energy of binding of a ligand (ΔG) divided by the number of non-hydrogen (heavy) atoms (N) where ΔG is calculated using the equation ΔG = −RTlnK i [ 6 ]. Using the RT inhibition (IC 50 ), LE can be calculated using the equation LE = −1.4(logIC 50 )/N [ 22 ].…”

“…Mapping the residues that showed significant (>0.02 ppm) perturbation from the Apo (unbound) IN spectra, onto the crystal structure of the IN core domain (Figure b, blue residues) highlighted the ability of budesonide to perturb residues mapping to and around an α‐helix located directly adjacent to the Impα/β1‐recognised NLS of IN (Figure b, core residues highlighted in pink), which is located directly adjacent to the binding site on IN for the critical host‐cell co‐factor LEDGF/p75 (lens epithelial derived growth factor; Berthoux, Sebastian, Muesing, & Luban, ; Hou et al, ; Latham, la, Tinetti, Chalmers, & Tachedjian, ; Peat, Dolezal, Newman, Mobley, & Deadman, ); residue 186 of the NLS is also known to contribute to IN multimerisation (Berthoux et al, ). Similarly, mifepristone impacted residues adjacent to the NLS on the opposite side of IN to budesonide, including those within a pocket known to be highly active for compound binding in fragment‐based drug discovery trials (the IN fragment binding pocket; see Latham et al, ; Peat et al, ; Wielens et al, ). These results clearly indicate direct binding of both budesonide and mifepristone to different sites on IN, both of which would appear to impact NLS‐recognition by Impα/β1.…”

“…Interestingly, this strategy has been largely applied in discovering several classes of pharmacological ligands, including enzyme inhibitors, receptor antagonists and, more recently, also allosteric (positive and negative) modulators [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In particular, allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has stimulated an intensive campaign to identify new classes of hit-candidates different from conventional agonists and antagonists, in particular considering the breakthroughs coming from GPCR crystallographic determination that has resulted in a fast-growing number of structures obtained as complexes with allosteric modulators.…”
