The pathway by which HIV-1 enters host cells is a prime target for novel drug discovery because of its critical role in the life cycle of HIV-1. The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 plays an important role in initiating virus entry by targeting the primary cell receptor CD4. We explored the substitution of bulky molecular groups in region I in the NBD class of entry inhibitors. Previous attempts at bulky substituents in that region abolished antiviral activity, even though the binding site is hydrophobic. We synthesized a series of entry inhibitors containing the 1,3-benzodioxolyl moiety or its bioisostere, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole. The introduction of the bulkier groups was well tolerated, and despite only minor improvements in antiviral activity, the selectivity index of these compounds improved significantly.
Synthesis of Catecholate Ligands with Phosphonate Anchoring Groups

New catecholate ligands containing protected phosphonate anchoring groups in the 4-position of the catecholate ring were synthesized. The catechol 4-diethoxyphosphorylbenzene-1,2-diol, (Etphoscat)H2, was prepared in three steps from pyrocatechol; whereas, the catechol 4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)benzene-1,2-diol, (EtBnphoscat)H2, containing a methylene spacer between the catecholate ring and phosphonate anchor, was prepared from protocatechuic acid in six linear steps. Both catechol derivatives were further elaborated to their trimethylsilyl-protected counterparts to facilitate their binding to nanocrystalline metal oxides. Electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used to probe the electronic properties of the phosphonate-functionalized catecholates in charge-transfer complexes of the general formula (catecholate)Pd(pdi) (pdi = N,N′-bis(mesityl)phenanthrene-9,10-diimine). These studies show that attachment of the phosphonate anchor directly to the 4-position of the (Etphoscat)2- ligand significantly perturbs the donor ability of the catecholate ligand; however, incorporation of a single methylene spacer group in (EtBnphoscat)2- helps to isolate catecholate from the electron-withdrawing phosphonate group.

Cocaine inhibits the dopamine transporter and the consequent elevation of dopamine is thought to contribute to the addictive properties of cocaine. Tropane analogues of cocaine, targeted to the dopamine transporter (DAT), are a significant focus of drug d

The use of a template that bears pre-programmed receptor sites for selectively accommodating chromophores at given positions is an attractive approach for engineering artificial-light-harvesting systems. Indulging this line of thought, this work tackles the creation of tailored antenna architectures with yellow, red and blue chromophores, exploiting three dynamic covalent reactions simultaneously, namely disulfide exchange, acyl hydrazone, and boronic ester formations. The effect of various structural modifications, such as the chromophores as well as their spatial organization (distance, orientation, order) on the energy transfer within the antennas was studied by means of steady-state UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. This systematic study allowed for a significant improvement of the energy-transfer efficiencies to a noticeable 22 and 15 % for the yellow and red donors, respectively, across the chromophores to the blue acceptor. Metadynamics simulations suggested that the conformational properties of the antennas are driven by intramolecular chromophoric stacking interactions that, upon forcing the α-helix to fold on itself, annul any effects deriving from the programming of the spatial arrangement of the receptor sides in the peptide backbone.
