ABSTRACT
Optimization studies using an HIV RNase H active site inhibitor containing a 1-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one core identified 4-position substituents that provided several potent and selective inhibitors. The best compound was potent and selective in biochemical assays (IC(50)=0.045 µM, HIV RT RNase H; 13 µM, HIV RT-polymerase; 24 µM, HIV integrase) and showed antiviral efficacy in a single-cycle viral replication assay in P4-2 cells (IC(50)=0.19 µM) with a modest window with respect to cytotoxicity (CC(50)=3.3 µM).
