Bioactivity | Trovirdine hydrochloride, a phenethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) derivative, is an HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI). A novel computer model of the RT/NNI binding pocket revealed spatial gaps around Trovirdine hydrochloride's pyridyl ring. Docking studies suggested that replacing this planar ring with a nonplanar piperidinyl or piperazinyl ring could better occupy the binding pocket, enhancing anti-HIV activity. Synthesized heterocyclic compounds based on this modification demonstrated greater potency than Trovirdine hydrochloride, effectively inhibiting HIV replication at nanomolar concentrations without cytotoxicity in infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells[1]. |
