3-Hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (HPD) represents a versatile chemical core in the design of inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT)-associated RNase H and integrase strand transfer (INST). We report herein the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of an HPD subtype (4) featuring a cyclohexylmethyl group at the C-6 position. Antiviral testing showed that most analogues of 4 inhibited HIV-1 in the low nanomolar to submicromolar range, without cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 100?μM. Biochemically, these analogues dually inhibited both the polymerase (pol) and the RNase H functions of RT, but not INST. Co-crystal structure of 4a with RT revealed a nonnucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI) binding mode. Interestingly, chemotype 11, the synthetic precursor of 4 lacking the 3-OH group, did not inhibit RNase H while potently inhibiting pol. By virtue of the potent antiviral activity and biochemical RNase H inhibition, HPD subtype 4 could provide a viable platform for eventually achieving potent and selective RNase H inhibition through further medicinal chemistry.
Quaternary salts of 2-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]imidazole. 3. Synthesis and evaluation of (alkenyloxy)-, (alkynyloxy)-, and (aralkyloxy)methyl quaternarized 2[(hydroxyimino)methyl]-1-alkylimidazolium halides as reactivators and therapy for soman intoxication

A series of structurally related monosubstituted 1-[(alkenyloxy)methyl]-, 1-[(alkynyloxy)methyl]-, and 1-[(aralkyloxy)methyl]-2-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]-3-methylimidazolium halides were prepared and evaluated. All new compounds were characterized with respect to (hydroxyimino)methyl acid dissocation constant, nucleophilicity, and octanol-buffer partition coefficient. The alkynyloxy-substituted compounds were also evaluated in vitro with respect to reversible inhibition of human erythrocyte (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and kinetics of reactivation of human AChE inhibited by ethyl p-nitrophenyl methylphosphonate (EPMP). In vivo evaluation in mice revealed that coadministration of alkynyloxy-substituted imidazolium compounds with atropine sulfate provided significant protection against a 2 x LD50 challenge of GD. For the alkynyloxy-substituted imidazolium drugs there is a direct relationship between in vitro and in vivo activity: the most potent in vivo compounds against GD proved to be potent in vitro reactivators against EPMP-inhibited human AChE. These results differ from the observations made on the sterically hindered imidazolium compounds (see previous article) and suggest that several antidotal mechanisms of protective action may be applicable for the imidazolium aldoxime family of therapeutics. The ability of the alkynyloxy substituents to provide life-saving protection against GD intoxication was not transferable to the pyridinium or triazolium heteroaromatic ring systems.
