Several thiazolyl thiourea derivatives were designed and synthesized as non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNRTI) of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Six lead compounds were identified that showed subnanomolar IC50 values for the inhibition of HIV replicat

A novel series of potent specific HIV-1 inhibitory compounds is described. The lead compound in the series, N-(2-phenethyl)-N'-(2-thiazolyl)thiourea (1), inhibits HIV-1 RT using rCdG as the template with an IC50 of 0.9 μM. In MT-4 cells, compound 1 inhibits HIV-1 with an ED50 of 1.3 μM. The 50% cytotoxic dose in cell culture is >380 μM. The chemical structure-activity relationship (SAR) was developed by notionally dividing the lead compound in four quadrants. The SAR strategy had two phases. The first phase involved optimization of antiviral activity through independent variation of quadrants 1-4. The second phase involved the preparation of hybrid structures combining the best of these substituents. Further SAR studies and pharmacokinetic considerations led to the identification of N-(2-pyridyl)-N'-(5-bromo-2- pyridyl)-thiourea (62; LY300046 · HCl) as a candidate for clinical evaluation. LY300046 · HCl inhibits HIV-1 RT with an IC50 of 15 nM and in cell culture has an ED50 of 20 nM.
