S-DABO derivatives containing the methylthiomethyl (MTM) group have been synthesized and tested for anti-HIV-1 activity in cell-based assay (MTT and p24 assays) and for their capability to target the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in enzyme assays. Data of experiments lead to the conclusion that the introduction of a 2-MTM-thio side chain is not sufficient per se to significantly increase S-DABO's potency. Nevertheless, potent MTM-S-DABOs can be obtained by introducing a 2,6-difluorophenylmethyl moiety as a C-6 substituent.
