Novel anti-HIV agents are still needed to overcome resistance issues, in particular inhibitors acting against novel viral targets. The ribonuclease H (RNase H) function of the reverse transcriptase (RT) represents a validated and promising target, and no inhibitor has reached the clinical pipeline yet. Here, we present rationally designed non-diketo acid selective RNase H inhibitors (RHIs) based on the quinolinone scaffold starting from former dual integrase (IN)/RNase H quinolinonyl diketo acids. Several derivatives were synthesized and tested against RNase H and viral replication and found active at micromolar concentrations. Docking studies within the RNase H catalytic site, coupled with site-directed mutagenesis, and Mg2+titration experiments demonstrated that our compounds coordinate the Mg2+cofactor and interact with amino acids of the RNase H domain that are highly conserved among na?ve and treatment-experienced patients. In general, the new inhibitors influenced also the polymerase activity of RT but were selective against RNase H vs the IN enzyme.

The parasite Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed cause of recurring malaria. N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT), an enzyme that catalyses the covalent attachment of myristate to the N-terminal glycine of substrate proteins, has been described as a p

Using computer-aided conformational analysis, based on molecular dynamics simulation, cluster analysis, and Monte Carlo techniques, we have designed and synthesized compounds in which a benzyloxy substituent has been incorporated into a series of pyrazoloquinoline benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) ligands.Earlier studies had shown that the benzyloxy group could act as part of the agonist pharmacophoric determinant in the β-carboline ring system.Furthermore, the agonist β-carboline had been correlated with a binding site orientation and volume fit for an agonist 6-phenylimidazobenzodiazepine carboxylate.The present study was undertaken to determine whether the benzyloxy substituent could be used as an agonist pharmacophoric descriptor for the phenylpyrazoloquinolin-3-one BZR ligands.The results of a determination of GABA shift ratios for the synthetic ligands indicate that 8-(benzyloxy)-2-phenylpyrazoloquinolin-3-one can be predicted to be an agonist at the BZR.
