Structure-based design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new N-carboxyphenylpyrrole derivatives as HIV fusion inhibitors targeting gp41.

ABSTRACT: A new series of N-carboxyphenylpyrrole ligands were designed using GeometryFit based on an X-ray crystal structure of gp41. The synthesized ligands showed significant inhibitory activities against HIV gp41 6-helix bundle formation, HIV-1 mediated cell-cell fusion and HIV-1 replication.
