The human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I) causes adult T-cell leukemia and several severe chronic diseases. HTLV-I protease (PR) inhibition stops the propagation of the virus. Herein, truncation studies were performed on potent octapeptidie HTLV-I PR inhibitor KNI-10161 to derive small hexapeptide KNI-10127 with some loss in activity. After performing residue-substitution studies on compound KNI-10127, HTLV-I PR inhibitory activity was recovered in inhibitor KNI-10166. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
