Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Oct 15;18(20):5368-71. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.09.055. Epub 2008 Sep 18.

Abstract

A novel series of 1,2,3-thiadiazole thioacetanilide (TTA) derivatives have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for its anti-HIV activities in MT-4 cells. Some derivatives proved to be highly effective in inhibiting HIV-1 replication at nanomolar concentrations. Among them, 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylthio]-N-(2-nitrophenyl)acetamide 7d2 was identified as the most promising compound (EC(50)=0.059+/-0.02 microM, CC(50)>283.25 microM, SI>4883). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these novel structural congeners is discussed.
