Since our first discovery of a CD4-mimic, NBD-556, which targets the Phe43 cavity of HIV-1 gp120, we and other groups made considerable progress in designing new CD4-mimics with viral entry-antagonist property. In our continued effort to make further progress we have synthesized twenty five new analogs based on our earlier reported viral entry antagonist, NBD-11021. These compounds were tested first in HIV-1 Env-pseudovirus based single-cycle infection assay as well as in a multi-cycle infection assay. Four of these new compounds showed much improved antiviral potency as well as cytotoxicity. We selected two of the best compounds 45A (NBD-14009) and 46A (NBD-14010) to test against a panel of 51 Env-pseudotyped HIV-1 representing diverse subtypes of clinical isolates. These compounds showed noticeable breadth of antiviral potency with IC50 of as low as 150 nM. These compounds also inhibited cell-to-cell fusion and cell-to-cell HIV-1 transmission. The study is expected to pave the way of designing more potent and selective HIV-1 entry inhibitors targeted to the Phe43 cavity of HIV-1 gp120. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
