Abstract:
A novel series of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors was synthesized and tested in both in vitro and ex vivo assays. These inhibitors are featured by the presence of a quinoline subunit and an ancillary aromatic ring linked by functionalized spacers such as amide, hydrazide, urea and 1-hydroxyprop-1-en-3-one moiety. Amide derivatives are the most promising ones and could serve as leads for further developments.
