Synthesis and activity of novel HIV protease inhibitors with improved potency against multiple PI-resistant viral strains

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Sep 2;12(17):2423-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00425-0.

Abstract

Substitution of the t-butylcarboxamide substituent in analogues of the HIV protease inhibitor (PI) Indinavir with a trifluoroethylamide moiety confers greater potency against both the wild-type (NL4-3) virus and PI-resistant HIV. The trifluoroethyl substituent also affords a slower clearance rate in vivo (dogs); however, this may be due to more potent inhibition of at least two P450 isoforms.
