The persistence of the AIDS epidemic, and the life-long treatment required, indicate the constant need of novel HIV-1 inhibitors. In this scenario the HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-associated ribonuclease H (RNase H) function is a promising drug target. Here we report a series of compounds, developed on the 2-amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid scaffold, studied as promising RNase H dual inhibitors. Among the 44 tested compounds, 34 inhibited HIV-1 RT-associated RNase H function in the low micromolar range, and seven of them showed also to inhibit viral replication in cell-based assays with a selectivity index up to 10. The most promising compound, 21, inhibited RNase H function with an IC50 of 14 μM and HIV-1 replication in cell-based assays with a selectivity index greater than 10. Mode of action studies revealed that compound 21 is an allosteric dual-site compound inhibiting both HIV-1 RT functions, blocking the polymerase function also in presence of mutations carried by circulating variants resistant to non-nucleoside inhibitors, and the RNase H function interacting with conserved regions within the RNase H domain. Proving compound 21 as a promising lead for the design of new allosteric RNase H inhibitors active against viral replication with not significant cytotoxic effects.

The synthesis and antitumoral activity of ester and amide derivatives of 2-arylamino-6-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acids 8-58 is described. Trifluoromethylpyridine derivatives 8-58 were evaluated for their anticancer activity toward human tumoral cell lines by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Most of them possess encouraging anticancer activity, having GI50 values in the low micromolar to nanomolar concentration range. The 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylamide 44 was the most active, and it is now under review by NCI Biological Evaluation Committee for possible further studies.

A new series of 2-arylamino-6-trifluoromethyl-3-carboxylic acid derivatives was synthesized and assayed in vivo for their analgesic properties by means of writhing test in rats. When compared to aspirin, ibuprofen and flufenamic acid some of the new compo
