Since the discovery of the 2,4 (1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones as potent non-nucleoside inhibitors of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) this class of compounds has yielded a number of N-1 acyclic substituted pyrimidinediones with substantial antiviral activity, which is highly dependent upon their molecular fit into the binding pocket common to this inhibitory class. We have specifically examined the structure activity relationships of compounds with chemical modification made by substituting homocyclic rather than acyclic moieties at N-1 of the pyrimidinedione. Seventy-four compounds were synthesized and evaluated for antiviral activity against HIV-1 and HIV-2. The homocyclic modifications resulted in compounds with significant activity against both HIV-1 and HIV-2, suggesting these compounds represent a new class of non-nucleoside RT inhibitors. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) evaluations indicated that cyclopropyl, phenyl and 1- or 3-cyclopenten-1-yl substitutions at the N-1 of the pyrimidinedione, the addition of a methyl linker between the cyclic moiety and the N-1 and the addition of a benzoyl group at the C-6 of the pyrimidinedione had the greatest contribution to antiviral activity. Five pyrimidinedione analogues with therapeutic indexes (TIs)>450,000 and a specific analogue (1-cyclopropylmethyl-5-isopropyl-6-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione), which exhibited a TI of >2,000,000, were identified. None of the analogues were cytotoxic to target cells at the highest in vitrotest concentration, which is the upper limit of compound solubility of the analogues in aqueous solution. Thus, we have identified a series of pyrimidinediones with substantially improved antiviral efficacy and range of action and with significantly reduced cellular cytotoxicity. |
