A key step in the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) occurs when HIV-1 protease, the proteolytic enzyme encoded by the retrovirus, cleaves specific amide bonds in precursor gag and pol proteins to form the mature proteins needed for production of infec-tious viral particles. 1 Replacement of the catalytically active residues in protein precursors by site-directed mu-tagenesis techniques leads tothe formation of noninfective virions, 2 and for this reason HIV protease is regarded as a potential target for developingagents for the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and re-lated diseases. Several X-ray crystalstructures have es-tablished that the mature HIV protease is an aspartic proteinase that is formed from two identical 99 amino acid peptides, each subunit contributing one Asp-Thr-Gly unit. 3" 6 The active site so formed closelyresembles the active sites found in other well-characterized aspartic proteinases7 8" 9 1011and confirms some of the properties of HIV protease that were predicted on the basis of sequence homology. 10, 11 The discovery that mature HIV protease is an aspartic proteinase suggested to us and others12®"® that the general design strategyof replacing the Pj-P/cleavage point in substrates with transition-state analogues could be used to design tight-binding inhibitors of HIV protease, in the same way this approach was used to prepare inhibitors of other aspartic proteinases, eg pepsin, penicillopepsin, renin, cathepsin D. 13 We report herein the synthesis of hydroxyethylamine (HEA) dipeptidyl isosteres 1 and 2 that were designed to mimic the tetrahedral intermediate (3) for hydrolysis of Tyr-Pro, one of the partial substrate sequences cleavedby HIV protease (Figure 1).
