AB The human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1, is generally accepted to be
responsible for AIDS. It is imperative that all approaches, empirical
and rational, be taken for development of a drug for therapy of this
disease. These approaches are discussed, with emphasis on the direction
being pursued in our laboratory. Empirically, we found
3'-deoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine, a compound first synthesized for
potential anticancer activity by J. Horwitz in the 1960s, to be a potent
inhibitor of HIV-1. It is now in Phase II/III clinical trials. We have
also synthesized several 2,5'-anhydro pyrimidine nucleoside analogs,
which have interesting chemical and biological properties. We have
evaluated a natural product, gossypol and synthesized various
derivatives for anti-HIV-1 activity, but none were appreciably more
inhibitory than the parent compound. More recently, we have taken the
rational approach and synthesized a boron-modified tetrapeptide,
Ac-Thr-Leu-Asn-boro-Phe, which corresponds to the COOH-terminal of the
Phe-Pro scissle bond of the gag/pol gene polyprotein product. Potent
inhibition of the HIV-1 encoded protease was observed. These approaches
and findings will be discussed.
