On the basis of previously described X-ray studies of an enzyme/aza- dipeptide complex, aza-dipeptide analogues carrying N-(bis-aryl-methyl) substituents on the (hydroxethyl)hydrazine moiety have been designed and synthesized as HIV-1 protease inhibitors. By using either equally (12) or orthogonally (13) protected dipeptide isosteres, symmetrically and asymmetrically acylated aza-dipeptides can be synthesized. This approach led to the discovery of very potent inhibitors with antiviral activities (ED50) in the subnanomolar range. Acylation of the (hydroxethyl)hydrazine dipeptide isostere with the L-tert-leucine derivative 29 increased the oral bioavailability significantly when compared to the corresponding L-valine or L-isoleucine derivatives. The bis (L-tert-leucine) derivatives CGP 75355, CGP 73547, CGP 75136, and CGP 75176 combine excellent antiviral activity with high blood concentration after oral administration. Furthermore, they show no cross-resistance with saquinavir-resistant strains and maintain activity against indinavir-resistant ones. Consequently they qualify for further profiling as potential clinical candidates.

There are described compounds of formula I*, STR1 wherein R. sub.1 is lower alkoxycarbonyl,R 2 is secondary or tertiary lower alkyl or lower alkylthio-lower alkyl, R. sub.3 is phenyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more lower alkoxy radicals, or C 4-C 8 cycloalkyl,R. sub.4 is phenyl or cyclohexyl each substituted in the 4-position by unsaturated heterocyclyl that is bonded by way of a ring carbon atom, has from 5 to 8 ring atoms, contains from 1 to 4 hetero atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, sulfinyl (--SO--) and sulfonyl (--SO 2--) and is unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl or by phenyl-lower alkyl,R 5, independently of R 2, has one of the meanings mentioned for R 2, andR 6, independently of R. sub.1, is lower alkoxycarbonyl,or salts thereof, provided that at least one salt-forming group is present. The compounds are inhibitors of retroviral aspartate protease and can be used, for example, in the treatment of AIDS. They exhibit outstanding pharmacodynamic properties.
