Popis: Summary A series of inhibitors containing all possible isomers of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid was synthesized and tested for inhibition of HIV-1 protease. Incorporation of the (3S,4S) isomer of the t-butyloxycarbonyl protected amino acid into the sequence Glu-Phe resulted in a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease (K i = 63 nM). This inhibitor is at least 47- times more potent than the inhibitors containing other isomers of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid, indicating that the (3S,4S) isomer is the preferred isomer for binding to HIV-1 protease.
