Trifluoromethyl-containing 3-alkoxymethyl- and 3-aryloxymethyl-2-pyridinones are potent inhibitors of HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Feb 12;11(3):309-12. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00662-4.

Abstract

3-Alkoxymethyl- and 3-aryloxymethyl-2-pyridinones were synthesized and evaluated for activity as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) of HIV-1. It was found that several compounds were potent inhibitors of HIV-1 with the most potent compound 24 exhibiting an IC90 = 32 nM. Compound 24 also possessed a potent resistance profile as demonstrated by submicromolar IC90s against several clinically meaningful mutant virus strains.
