A series of novel S-DABO analogues, characterized by different substitution patterns at positions 2, 5, and 6 of the heterocyclic ring, were synthesized in a straightforward fashion by means of parallel synthesis and evaluated as inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). Most of the compounds proved to be highly active on the wild-type enzyme both in enzymatic and cellular assays, with one of them emerging as the most active reverse transcriptase inhibitor reported so far (EC50wt = 25 pM). The general loss of potency displayed by the compounds toward clinically relevant mutant strains was deeply studied through a molecular modeling approach, leading to the evidence that the dynamic of the entrance in the non-nucleoside binding pocket could represent the basis of the inhibitory activity of the molecules.
