Page/Page column 181, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a malononitrile compound represented by the formula (I): wherein any one of X1, X2, X3 and X4 is CR100, wherein R100 is a group represented by the formula: the other three of X1, X2, X3 and X4 each represent nitrogen or CR5, provided that 1 to 3 of X1, X2, X3 and X4 represent nitrogen, and Z represents oxygen, sulfur or NR6, which has pest-controlling activity.

The structure-activity studies leading to the potent and clinically efficacious HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir are described. Beginning with the moderately potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor A-80987, systematic investigation of peripheral (P3 and P2') heterocyclic groups designed to decrease the rate of hepatic metabolism provided analogues with improved pharmacokinetic properties after oral dosing in rats. Replacement of pyridyl groups with thiazoles provided increased chemical stability toward oxidation while maintaining sufficient aqueous solubility for oral absorption. Optimization of hydrophobic interactions with the HIV protease active site produced ritonavir, with excellent in vitro potency (EC50 = 0.02 μM) and high and sustained plasma concentrations after oral administration in four species. Details of the discovery and preclinical development of ritonavir are described.
