Antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV-1 infection into a managed condition with near-normal life expectancy. However, a significant number of patients remain with limited therapeutic options due to HIV-1 resistance, side effects, or drug costs. Further, it is likely that current drugs will not retain efficacy, due to risks of side effects and transmitted resistance.
We describe compound 5660386 (3-ethyl-2-[3-(1,3,3-trimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1-propen-1-yl]-1,3-benzothiazol-3-ium) as a novel inhibitor of HIV-1 entry. Compound 5660386 inhibits HIV-1 entry in cell lines and primary cells, binds to HIV-1 envelope protein, and inhibits the interaction of GP120 to CD4. Further, compound 5660386 showed a unique and broad-range activity against primary HIV-1 isolates from different subtypes and geographical areas.
Development of small-molecule entry inhibitors of HIV-1 such as 5660386 may lead to novel classes of anti-HIV-1 therapeutics. These inhibitors may be particularly effective against viruses resistant to current antiretroviral drugs and could have potential applications in both treatment and prevention.
抗逆转录病毒疗法已将HIV-1感染转变为一种预期寿命接近正常的可控疾病。然而,由于HIV-1耐药性、副作用或药物成本,相当数量的患者治疗选择有限。此外,由于存在副作用和传播性耐药的风险,目前的药物可能无法保持疗效。
我们将化合物5660386(3-乙基-2-[3-(1,3,3-三甲基-1,3-二氢-2H-吲哚-2-亚基)-1-丙烯-1-基]-1,3-苯并噻唑-3-鎓)描述为一种新型的HIV-1进入抑制剂。化合物5660386在细胞系和原代细胞中抑制HIV-1进入,与HIV-1包膜蛋白结合,并抑制GP120与CD4的相互作用。此外,化合物5660386对来自不同亚型和地理区域的原发性HIV-1分离株表现出独特且广泛的活性。
开发如5660386这样的HIV-1小分子进入抑制剂可能会带来新型抗HIV-1治疗药物。这些抑制剂可能对耐当前抗逆转录病毒药物的病毒特别有效,并可能在治疗和预防方面都有潜在应用。
