Definitions

  • This " invention relates to piperazine derivatives, to processes for their preparation, to compositions containing them and to their use. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of piperazine derivatives in the treatment of HIV, such as HIV-1 , and genetically related retroviral infections (and the resulting acquired immune deficiency syndrome, AIDS). Entry of HIV-1 into a target cell requires cell-surface CD4 and additional host cell cof actors. It is recognised that for efficient entry into target cells, human immunodeficiency viruses require a chemokine receptor, such as CCR5 or CXCR-4, as well as the primary receptor CD4.
  • chemokine receptor such as CCR5 or CXCR-4
  • the principal cofactor for the entry mediated by the envelope glycoproteins of primary macrophage-trophic strains of HIV-1 is CCR5, a receptor for the ⁇ - chemokines RANTES, MIP-1 ⁇ and MIP-1 ⁇ (Deng et al., 1996, Nature, 38, 661 -666). HIV attaches to the CD4 molecules on target cells through a region of its envelope protein, gp120. It is believed that the CD4 binding site on the gp120 of HIV interacts with the CD4 molecule on the target cell surface and undergoes conformational changes, which allow it to bind to further cell- surface receptors such as CCR5 or CXCR-4.
