Abstract
Our prior studies showed that polyhydroxylated styrylquinolines are potent HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors that block the replication of HIV-1 in cell culture at nontoxic concentrations. To explore the mechanism of action of these inhibitors, various novel styrylquinoline derivatives were synthesized and tested against HIV-1 IN and in cell-based assays. Regarding the in vitro experiments, the structural requirements for biological activity are a carboxyl group at C-7, a hydroxyl group at C-8 in the quinoline subunit, and an ancillary phenyl ring. However the in vitro inhibitory profile tolerates deep alterations of this ring, e.g. by the introduction of various substituents or its replacement by heteroatomic nuclei. Regarding the ex vivo assays, the structural requirements for activity are more stringent than for in vitro inhibition. Thus, in addition to an o-hydroxy acid group in the quinoline, the presence of one ortho pair of substituents at C-3' and C-4', particularly two hydroxyl groups, in the ancillary phenyl ring is imperatively required for inhibitory potency. Starting from literature data and the SARs developed in this work, a putative binding mode of styrylquinoline inhibitors to HIV-1 IN was derived.
Highly CitedStyrylquinolines are potent inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase, blocking its replication in cell culture at nontoxic concentrations, with a binding mode involving a phosphorylated phenyl ring and a hydroxyl group in the quinoline subunit.
