We designed and synthesized a new class of peptidomimetic human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors containing a unique unnatural amino acid, allophenylnorstatine [Apns; (2S,3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid], with a hydroxymethylcarbonyl isostere as the active moiety. From a structure-activity relationship study of HIV-1 protease inhibition, enzyme selectivity for other aspartyl proteases, the antiviral activity and pharmacokinetics in rats, 24c (KNI-227) and 24d (KNI-272, our first clinical candidate) were found to be selective and orally potent HIV protease inhibitors. Moreover, an improvement of the pharmacokinetic features of KNI-272 provided two long-lasting and highly bioavailable compounds (24g: JE-2178,h: JE-2179).

Some HIV-protease inhibitor derivatives having an N- carbomethoxycarbonyl-prolyl-phenylalanine benzyl ester (CPF) moiety as a binding site to gp120 were designed and synthesized. Almost all the compounds bearing CPF on the phenoxyacetyl group showed protease-inhibitory activity. Compounds 25a and 25b, which have the CPF moiety at the ortho- and meta- positions of the phenoxyacetyl group, respectively, had anti-HIV activity, although the others showed only protease-inhibitory activity. These results suggest that 25b binds to gp120 and inhibits HIV protease.
