Inhibitors of the flaviviral serine proteases, which are crucial for the replication of dengue and West-Nile virus, have attracted much attention over the last years. A dibasic 4-guanidinobenzoate was previously reported as inhibitor of the dengue protease with potency in the low-micromolar range. In the present study, this lead structure was modified with the intent to explore structure-activity relationships and obtain compounds with increased drug-likeness. Substitutions of the guanidine moieties, the aromatic rings, and the ester with other functionalities were evaluated. All changes were accompanied by a loss of inhibition, indicating that the 4-guanidinobenzoate scaffold is an essential element of this compound class. Further experiments indicate that the target recognition of the compounds involves the reversible formation of a covalent adduct.

In order to better understand the reaction mechanism and to obtain optimal conditions, the Ph3P-I2/Et3N mediated aryl esterification reaction was thoroughly investigated. Using a specific reagent addition sequence, the reaction proceeds remarkably well especially with acidic substrates. 31P NMR studies revealed that the formation of an aryloxyphosphonium salt is crucial in governing the reaction path toward the formation of phenolic esters.
