Dimerization of HIV-1 protease subunits is essential for its proteolytic activity, which plays a critical role in HIV-1 replication. Hence, the inhibition of protease dimerization represents a unique target for potential intervention of HIV-1. We developed an intermolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based HIV-1-expression assay employing cyan and yellow fluorescent protein-tagged protease monomers. Using this assay, we identified non-peptidyl small molecule inhibitors of protease dimerization. These inhibitors, including darunavir and two experimental protease inhibitors, blocked protease dimerization at concentrations of as low as 0.01 microm and blocked HIV-1 replication with IC(50) values of 0.0002-0.48 microm. These agents also inhibited the proteolytic activity of mature protease. Other approved anti-HIV-1 agents examined except tipranavir, a CCR5 inhibitor, and soluble CD4 failed to block the dimerization event. Once protease monomers dimerize to become mature protease, mature protease is not dissociated by this dimerization inhibition mechanism, suggesting that these agents block dimerization at the nascent stage of protease maturation. The proteolytic activity of mature protease that managed to undergo dimerization despite the presence of these agents is likely to be inhibited by the same agents acting as conventional protease inhibitors. Such a dual inhibition mechanism should lead to highly potent inhibition of HIV-1. 相似文献

Alternative modes of inhibition for the design of anti-HIV therapies are sought due to the resistance of HIV to a number of the currently approved drugs. A non-active site strategy for generating potent inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase is described based on blocking protein association. Peptides α5 and α6 derived from the HIV-1 integrase dimeric interface have previously demonstrated efficacious dimerization inhibition of HIV-1 integrase. Due to the proximity of the termini of these peptides within the integrase structure, a focused library of tethered agents was designed based on crosslinking the peptides α5 and α6 to mimic a larger interfacial region. The best crosslinked inhibitors are approximately five-fold more potent against HIV-1 integrase than the individual peptides alone or in combination. The most active agents have an inhibitory constant in the mid-nM range and function via a dissociative mechanism of inhibition. 相似文献

Inhibition of HIV-1 protease enzyme can render the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) non-infectious in vitro. Previous studies have shown that several shorter peptides were discovered as HIV-1 protease inhibitors. In this context, a series of shorter synthetic hexapeptides, Leu-Leu-Glu-Tyr-Val-Xaa (Xaa=Phe, Met, Tyr and Trp), were designed. The synthesized hexa peptides were screened for their HIV-1 protease inhibition. These peptides showed moderately good HIV-1 protease inhibition when compared to acetyl pepstatin. 相似文献

A series of HIV-1 protease inhibitors having new tetrahydrofuran P2/P2' groups have been synthesised and tested for protease inhibition and antiviral activity. Six novel 4-aminotetrahydrofuran derivatives were prepared starting from commercially available isopropylidene-alpha-D-xylofuranose yielding six symmetrical and six unsymmetrical inhibitors. Promising sub nanomolar HIV-1 protease inhibitory activities were obtained. The X-ray crystal structure of the most potent inhibitor (23, K(i) 0.25 nM) co-crystallised with HIV-1 protease is discussed and the binding compared with inhibitors 1a and 1b. 相似文献

Integration of a DNA copy of the HIV-1 genome is required for viral replication and pathogenicity, and this highly specific molecular process is mediated by the virus-encoded integrase protein. The requirement for integration, combined with the lack of a known analogous process in mammalian cells, makes integrase an attractive target for therapeutic inhibitors of HIV-1 replication. While many reports of HIV-1 IN inhibitors exist, no such compounds have yet emerged to treat HIV-1 infection. As such, new classes of integrase inhibitors are needed. We have combined molecular modeling and combinatorial chemistry to identify and develop a new class of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors, the Carbonyl J [N,N'-bis(2-(5-hydroxy-7-naphthalenesulfonic acid)urea] derivatives. This new class includes a number of compounds with sub-micromolar IC(50) values for inhibiting purified HIV-1 integrase in vitro. Herein we describe the chemical characteristics that are important for integrase inhibition and cell toxicity within the Carbonyl J derivatives. Copyright 2000 Academic Press. 相似文献

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can interact with and exploit the host cellular machinery to replicate and
propagate itself. Numerous studies have shown that the Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathway can positively
regulate the replication of HIV-1, but exactly how each MAPK pathway affects HIV-1 infection and replication is not understood.
In this study, we used the Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway inhibitor, PD98059, the Jun N-terminal kinase
(JNK) pathway inhibitor, SP600125, and the p38 pathway inhibitor, SB203580, to investigate the roles of these pathways in
HIV-1 replication. We found that application of PD98059 results in a strong VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus and HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity. In addition, SB203580 and SP600125 also elicited marked VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus inhibition activity but no HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity. We also found that SB203580 and SP600125 can enhance the HIV-1 inhibition activity of PD98059
when cells were treated with all three MAPK pathway inhibitors in combination. Finally, we show that HIV-1 virus inhibition
activity of the MAPK pathway inhibitors was the result of the negative regulation of HIV-1 LTR promoter activity. 相似文献

We have characterized the structural and molecular interactions of CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) with three CCR5 inhibitors active against R5 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) including the potent in vitro and in vivo CCR5 inhibitor aplaviroc (AVC). The data obtained with saturation binding assays and structural analyses delineated the key interactions responsible for the binding of CCR5 inhibitors with CCR5 and illustrated that their binding site is located in a predominantly lipophilic pocket in the interface of extracellular loops and within the upper transmembrane (TM) domain of CCR5. Mutations in the CCR5 binding sites of AVC decreased gp120 binding to CCR5 and the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection, although mutations in TM4 and TM5 that also decreased gp120 binding and HIV-1 infectivity had less effects on the binding of CC-chemokines, suggesting that CCR5 inhibition targeting appropriate regions might render the inhibition highly HIV-1-specific while preserving the CC chemokine-CCR5 interactions. The present data delineating residue by residue interactions of CCR5 with CCR5 inhibitors should not only help design more potent and more HIV-1-specific CCR5 inhibitors, but also give new insights into the dynamics of CC-chemokine-CCR5 interactions and the mechanisms of CCR5 involvement in the process of cellular entry of HIV-1. 相似文献

With the emergence of drug-resistant strains and the cumulative toxicities associated with current therapies, demand remains for new inhibitors of HIV-1 replication. The inhibition of HIV-1 entry is an attractive, yet underexploited therapeutic approach with implications for salvage and preexposure prophylactic regimens, as well as topical microbicides. Using the combination of a field-derived bioactive conformation template to perform virtual screening and iterative bioisosteric replacements, coupled with in silico predictions of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, we have identified new leads for HIV-1 entry inhibitors. 相似文献

HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Envs) mediate virus entry by fusing the viral and target cell membranes, a multi-step process that represents an attractive target for inhibition. Entry inhibitors with broad-range activity against diverse isolates of HIV-1 may be extremely useful as lead compounds for the development of therapies or prophylactic microbicides. To facilitate the identification of such inhibitors, we have constructed a cell-cell fusion system capable of simultaneously monitoring inhibition efficiency and specificity. In this system, effector cells stably express a tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) that enables tightly inducible expression of both HIV-1 Env and the Renilla luciferase (R-Luc) reporter protein. Target cells express the HIV-1 receptors, CD4 and CCR5, and carry the firefly luciferase (F-Luc) reporter gene under the control of a tTA-responsive promoter. Thus, Env-mediated fusion of these two cell types allows the tTA to diffuse to the target cell and activate the expression of the F-Luc protein. The efficiency with which an inhibitor blocks cell-cell fusion is measured by a decrease in the F-Luc activity, while the specificity of the inhibitor is evaluated by its effect on the R-Luc activity. The system exhibited a high dynamic range and high Z'-factor values. The assay was validated with a reference panel of inhibitors that target different steps in HIV-1 entry, yielding inhibitory concentrations comparable to published virus inhibition data. Our system is suitable for large-scale screening of chemical libraries and can also be used for detailed characterization of inhibitory and cytotoxic properties of known entry inhibitors. 相似文献

A new class of potent sulfoximine inhibitors for HIV-1 protease has been designed and synthesized. Substitution of the sulfoximine moiety into different parent compounds yields different inhibition effects. While our previously studied sulfoximine-based inhibitors display potency of 2.5 nM (IC(50)) against HIV-1 protease, introduction of the sulfoximine moiety into the asymmetric Indinavir yielded only micromolar inhibition. Docking studies showed structural variations in their modes of binding which explains this unexpected observation. The implication of these observations in the development of other sulfoximine inhibitors is discussed. 相似文献

Existing AIDS therapies are out of reach for most HIV-infected people in developing countries and, where available, they are limited by their toxicity and their cost. New anti-HIV agents are needed urgently to combat emerging viral resistance and reduce the side effects associated with currently available drugs. Toward this end, LeapFrog, a de novo drug design program was used to design novel, potent, and selective inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase. The designed compounds were synthesized and tested for in vitro inhibition of HIV-1 integrase. Out of the 25 compounds that were designed, and synthesized, four molecules (compounds 23, 26, 43, and 59) showed moderate to low inhibition of HIV-1 integrase for 3'-processing and 3'-strand transfer activities. Nonetheless, these compounds possess structural features not seen in known HIV-1 integrase inhibitors and thus can serve as excellent leads for further optimization of anti-HIV-1 integrase activity. 相似文献

A series of inhibitors containing all possible isomers of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid was synthesized and tested for inhibition of HIV-1 protease. Incorporation of the (3S,4S) isomer of the t-butyloxycarbonyl protected amino acid into the sequence Glu-Phe resulted in a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease (Ki = 63 nM). This inhibitor is at least 47-times more potent than the inhibitors containing other isomers of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid, indicating that the (3S,4S) isomer is the preferred isomer for binding to HIV-1 protease. 相似文献

A series of novel β-diketo derivatives which combined the virtues of 1,3-diketo, 1,2,3-triazole and polyhydroxylated aromatics moieties, were designed and synthesized as potential HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors and evaluated their inhibition to the strand transfer process of HIV-1 integrase. The result indicates that 3,4,5-trihydroxylated aromatic derivatives exhibit good inhibition to HIV-1 integrase, but dihydroxylated aromatic derivatives and corresponding methoxy aromatic derivatives appear little inhibition to HIV-1 integrase. 相似文献

A novel strategy to identify potent HIV-1 protease dimerization inhibitors was developed using 12-aminododecanoic acid as a tether to crosslink interfacial peptides. The directionality of the southern peptide was changed from N-->C to C-->N as compared to previously reported inhibitors. The terminal amine of the southern peptide and side chains were further diversified to find essential functional groups for dimerization inhibition of HIV-1 protease. 相似文献
