The present invention relates to a novel class of sulfonamides which are aspartyl protease inhibitors. In one embodiment, this invention relates to a novel class of HIV aspartyl protease inhibitors characterized by specific structural and physicochemical features. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are particularly well suited for inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2 protease activity and consequently, may be advantageously used as anti-viral agents against the HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses. This invention also relates to methods for inhibiting the activity of HIV aspartyl protease using the compounds of this invention and methods for screening compounds for anti-HIV activity.

A series of novel aminodiol inhibitors of HIV protease based on the lead compound 1 with structural modifications at P1′ were synthesized in order to reduce the cytotoxicity of 1. We have observed a high degree of correlation between the lipophilicity and the cytotoxicity of this series of inhibitors. It was found that appropriate substitution at the para position of the P1′ phenyl group of 1 resulted in the identification of equipotent (both against the enzyme and in cell culture) compounds (101, 10m, 10n, and 15c) which possess significantly decreased cytotoxicity.

By tethering of a polar hydrophilic group to the P1 or P1' substituent of a Phe-based hydroxyethylene isostere, the antiviral potency of a series of HIV protease inhibitors was improved. The optimum enhancement of anti-HIV activity was observed with the 4-morpholinylethoxy substituent. The substituent effect is consistent with a model derived from inhibitor docked in the crystal structure of the native enzyme. An X-ray crystal structure of the inhibited enzyme determined to 2.25 A verifies the modeling predictions.
