The human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) is clinically associated with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma, HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, and a number of other chronic inflammatory diseases. To stop the replication of the virus, we developed highly potent tetrapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitors. In a recent X-ray crystallography study, several of our inhibitors could not form co-crystal complexes with the protease due to their high hydrophobicity. In the current study, we designed, synthesized and evaluated the HTLV-I protease inhibition potency of compounds with hydrophilic end-capping moieties with the aim of improving pharmaceutic and pharmacokinetic properties.

The human T cell lymphotropic/leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I) causes adult T cell lymphoma/leukemia. The virus is also responsible for chronic progressive myelopathy and several inflammatory diseases. To stop the manufacturing of new viral components, in our previous reports, we derived small tetrapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitors with an important amide-capping moiety at the P3 residue. In the current study, we removed the P3-cap moiety and, with great difficulty, optimized the P3 residue for HTLV-I protease inhibition potency. We discovered a very potent and small tetrapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitor (KNI-10774a, IC50 = 13 nM).

Adult T-cell leukemia and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I-associated myelopathy are only some of the more common end results of an infection with a human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I). Expanding from our previous reports, we synthesized all different permutations of tetrapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitors using at least eight P3-cap and five P1′-cap moieties. The inhibitors exhibited over 97% inhibition against HIV-1 protease and a wide range of inhibitory activity against HTLV-I protease.

The culprit behind adult T-cell leukemia, myelopathy/tropical paraparesis, and a plethora of inflammatory diseases is the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I). We recently unveiled a potent hexapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitor, KNI-10166, compose
