Abstract: | We report here the discovery of a potent series of HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors based on the ferrocenyl chalcone difluoridoborate structure. Ten new compounds have been synthesized and were generally found to have similar inhibitory activities against the IN 3' processing and strand transfer (ST) processes. IC(50) values were found to be in the low micromolar range, and significantly lower than those found for the non-coordinated ferrocenyl chalcones and other ferrocene molecules. The ferrocenyl chalcone difluoridoborates furthermore exhibited low cytotoxicity against cancer cells and low morphological activity against epithelial cells. |
