Discovery of HIV fusion inhibitors targeting gp41 using a comprehensive ?-helix mimetic library.


ABSTRACT: The evaluation of a comprehensive ?-helix mimetic library for binding the gp41 NHR hydrophobic pocket recognizing an intramolecular CHR ?-helix provided a detailed depiction of structural features required for binding and led to the discovery of small molecule inhibitors (K(i) 0.6-1.3 ?M) that not only match or exceed the potency of those disclosed over the past decade, but that also exhibit effective activity in a cell-cell fusion assay (IC(50) 5-8 ?M).
