The persistent reservoir of cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-integrated proviral DNA necessitates lifelong suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). Epigenetic targeted compounds have shown promise as potential latency-reversing agents; however, these drugs have undesirable toxicity and lack specificity for HIV. We utilized a novel HEK293-derived FlpIn dual-reporter cell line, which quantifies specific HIV provirus reactivation (LTR promoter) relative to nonspecific host cell gene expression (CMV promoter), to identify the 5-substituted 2-acylaminothiazole hit class. Here, we describe the optimization of the hit class, defining the functionality necessary for HIV gene activation and for improving in vitro metabolism and solubility. The optimized compounds displayed enhanced HIV gene expression in HEK293 and Jurkat 10.6 latency cellular models and increased unspliced HIV RNA in resting CD4+ T cells isolated from HIV-infected individuals on ART, demonstrating the potential of the 2-acylaminothiazole class as latency-reversing agents.

The present invention relates to novel compounds which active HIV expression in latently infected cells. More particularly, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel compounds and their use in activating HIV expression in latently infected cells. Further still, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel compounds in combination with anti-HIV therapy compounds and their use in treating HIV infection in both animals and humans. The invention further provides means for preparing the compounds.

On the basis of our work on the modification of alkylphosphonates 1, a series of α-(substituted phenoxybutyryloxy or valeryloxy)alkylphosphonates (4-5) and 2-(substituted phenoxybutyryloxy)alkyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-one (6) were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results indicated that 14 of title compounds 4 exhibited significant postemergence herbicidal activity against velvetleaf, common amaranth, and false daisy at 150 g ai/ha. Compounds 5 were inactive against all tested weeds. Compounds 6 exhibited moderate to good inhibitory effect against the tested dicotyledonous weeds. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses showed that the length of the carbon chain as linking bridge had a great effect on the herbicidal activity. Broad-spectrum tests of compounds 4-1, 4-2, 4-9, 4-30, and 4-36 were carried out at 75 g ai/ha. Especially, 4-1 exhibited 100% inhibition activity against the tested dicotyledonous weeds, which was higher than that of glyphosate.
