| Abstract | HIV-1 integrase (IN) has emerged as an important therapeutic target for anti-HIV drug development. Its uniqueness to the virus and its critical role in the viral life cycle makes IN suitable for selective inhibition. The recent approval of Raltegravir (MK-0518) has created a surge in interest and great optimism in the field. With an aim to identify novel structural classes with promising IN inhibitory profile, we discovered substituted analogs of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyranones and their difluoridoborate complexes, and 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (rhodanine) derivatives as novel IN inhibitors. We also studied the cytotoxic effects of IN inhibitors and other ellipticine derivatives. In the process, we discovered two novel small-molecules containing chloroacetamide functionality with promising antiproliferative properties. |
