The role of HIV protease in viral replication has made it a significant target for inhibition. The focus of our studies is to target the dimerization interface of HIV-1 protease because disruption of the dimer will inhibit enzymatic activity. The initial strategy began with cross-linked peptides derived from the interface of HIV protease. Herein we describe the design of a focused library of agents based on a minimal pharmacophore for HIV-1 protease dimerization inhibition.
