Computational development of rubromycin-based lead compounds for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The binding of several rubromycin-based ligands to HIV1-reverse transcriptase was analyzed using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. MM-PBSA analysis and examination of the trajectories allowed the identification of several promising compounds with predicted high affinity towards reverse transcriptase mutants which have proven resistant to current drugs. Important insights on the complex interplay of factors determining the ability of ligands to selectively target each mutant have been obtained.

We report novel anti-HIV-1 agents with combined dual host-pathogen pharmacology. Lead compound 3, composed of a pyrazole-piperidine core, exhibits three concurrent mechanisms of action: (1) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibition, (2) CCR5-mediated M-tropic viral entry inhibition, and (3) CXCR4-based T-tropic viral entry inhibition that maintains native chemokine ligand binding. This di...

BACKGROUND Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the advanced stage of infection caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV/AIDS had a great impact on society, both as an illness and as a source of discrimination. Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) are structurally diverse group of compounds which binds to Reverse Transcriptase (RT) enzyme of HIV. Like other...
متن کاملVirtual screening, identification, and biochemical characterization of novel inhibitors of the reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus type-1.
The reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) is a leading target in current antiretroviral therapy. Unfortunately, drug-resistant RT mutants evolve under the pressure of these drugs, and therefore, new anti-RT inhibitors are constantly required for HIV-1/AIDS treatment. We virtually screened a large chemical library of compounds against two crystal structures of...

Methods Development of arylsulfonilamides as NNRTIs involved both the computational and synthetic methods. On the basis of extensive docking experiments, ten promising compounds out of 55 initially taken were synthesized using green protocols and their in vitro anti-HIV activity assessed in TZM bl cells by luciferase assay and reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition assay against wild type HIV-1 RT.
