In continuation of our efforts toward the discovery of potent HIV-1 NNRTIs with diverse structures, a series of novel S-DACO analogues of 6-(2-cyclohexyl-1-alkyl)-2-(2-oxo-2-phenyl-ethylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activities in MT-4 cells. Most of these new compounds showed moderate to good activities against wild type HIV-1 with IC50 values ranging from 7.55 mu mol/L to 0.018 mu mol/L. Among them, compound 5c was identified as the most promising inhibitor against HIV-1 replication with an IC50 = 0.018 mu mol/L, CC50 = 194 mu mol/L, and SI = 12791, which was much more potent than the reference drugs NVP and DLV and comparable to AZT and EFV. In addition, 5c also exhibited improved activity against double mutant HIV-1 strain RES056 compared to that of the reference drugs NVP/DLV and DB02. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) and molecular modeling studies were also discussed, which provides some useful indications for guiding the further rational design of new S-DACO analogues.
