Phenylethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) derivatives have been identified as a new series of nonnucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 RT. Structure-activity relationship studies of this class of compounds resulted in the identification of N-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]-thiourea hydrochloride (trovirdine; LY300046.HCl) as a highly potent anti-HIV-1 agent. Trovirdine is currently in phase one clinical trials for potential use in the treatment of AIDS. Extension of these structure-activity relationship studies to identify additional compounds in this series with improved properties is ongoing. A part of this work is described here. Replacement of the two aromatic moleties of the PETT compounds by various substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic rings was investigated. In addition, the effects of multiple substitution in the phenyl ring were also studied. The antiviral activities were determined on wild-type and constructed mutants of HIV-1 RT and on wild-type HIV-1 and mutant viruses derived thereof, Ile100 and Cys181, in cell culture assays. Some selected compounds were determined on double- mutant viruses, HIV-1 (Ile100/Asn103) and HIV-1 (Ile100/Cys181). A number of highly potent analogs were synthesized. These compounds displayed IC50's against wild-type RT between 0.6 and 5 nM. In cell culture, these agents inhibited wild-type HIV-1 with ED50's between I and 5 nM in MT-4 cells. In addition, these derivatives inhibited mutant HIV-1 RT (Ile 100) with IC50's between 20 and 50 nM and mutant HIV-1 RT (Cys 181) with IC50's between 4 and 10 nM, and in cell culture they inhibited mutant HIV-1 (Ile100) with ED50's between 9 and 100 nM and mutant HIV-1 (Cys181) with ED50's between 3 and 20 nM.

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.
