Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship of some HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors: A Fujita-Ban Type Analysis

Abstract

A Fujita-Ban type analysis has been made on a few series of HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus of type 1) protease inhibitors and the activity contributions of various substituents obtained. From these activity contributions, a compound is predicted that may have better activity than ritonavir, presently prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from HIV-1. A few other compounds are also suggested.
