The design, synthesis, thermodynamic and crystallographic characterization of a potent, broad spectrum, second-generation HIV-1 entry inhibitor that engages conserved carbonyl hydrogen bonds within gp120 has been achieved. The optimized antagonist exhibits a submicromolar binding affinity (110 nM) and inhibits viral entry of clade B and C viruses (IC50 geometric mean titer of 1.7 and 14.0 μM, respectively), without promoting CD4-independent viral entry. The thermodynamic signatures indicate a binding preference for the (R,R)- over the (S,S)-enantiomer. The crystal structure of the small-molecule/gp120 complex reveals the displacement of crystallographic water and the formation of a hydrogen bond with a backbone carbonyl of the bridging sheet. Thus, structure-based design and synthesis targeting the highly conserved and structurally characterized CD4-gp120 interface is an effective tactic to enhance the neutralization potency of small-molecule HIV-1 entry inhibitors.

A new, solvent-free, vapour-assisted method, developed for the synthesis of carbocyclic cis β-amino acid enantiomers through the Candida antarctica lipase B-catalysed enantioselective (E >200) hydrolysis of β-lactams with 0.5 equiv of H2O at 70 °C, has been demonstrated to be applicable on a preparative scale to produce (±)-2 (the starting racemate for cispentacin), (±)-3 (the starting racemate for 4-tert-butylcispentacin, a new cispentacin analogue) and (±)-7 (the starting racemate for 1,4-ethylene-bridged cispentacin).
