Definitions

  • HIV-I protease plays a critical role in the virus life cycle by processing the viral Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins into structural and functional proteins essential for viral maturation. Inhibition of HIV-I protease leads to the production of noninfectious virus particles and hence is a promising therapeutic target for antiviral therapy in AIDS patients.
  • PIs Protease inhibitors
  • IAS-USA International AIDS Society-USA
  • DHHS U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
  • HIV-I protease inhibitors represent the most potent anti-AIDS drugs reported to date and are essential components of highly active antiretro viral therapy
  • HIV-I protease inhibitors saquinavir, indinavir, ritonavir, nelfinavir, amprenavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, and tipranavir
  • saquinavir HIV-I protease inhibitors
  • indinavir HIV-I protease inhibitors
  • ritonavir nelfinavir
  • amprenavir lopinavir
  • lopinavir atazanavir
  • tipranavir are all competitive inhibitors that bind in the active site of the enzyme.
  • all approved inhibitors have been developed based on transition state mimetic concept and contain various noncleavable dipeptide isosteres as core scaffolds to mimic the transition state of HIV-I protease substrates.
  • the development and clinical introduction of anti-AIDS HIV-I protease inhibitors is regarded as major success of structure based drug design.
  • Anti-AIDS chemotherapy based on HIV-I protease and reverse-transcriptase inhibitors has been remarkably successful in decreasing the mortality rate in HIV-I infected patients.
  • HIV-I mutants that are resistant to current drug regimens is a critical factor in the clinical failure of antiviral therapy.
  • drug resistance occurs when mutations in a target protein allow that protein to retain function while in the presence of a drug.
  • drug resistence typically occurs when, even in the presence of protease inhibitors, the enzyme is able to cleave the Gal and Pol polypeptides in at least nine different locations, allowing viral mutation. Viral resistance is regarded as a critical factor in clinical failure of antiviral therapy.
  • HIV-I protease inhibitors were designed to inhibit a single variant of HIV-I protease.
  • MDR multi drug resistant
  • HIV protease is a particularly appealing target, as inhibition of its activity is clinical effective; however, it can evolve to tolerate extensive mutation that confers drug resistance while retaining enzymatic function.
  • the present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of new small molecule protease inhibitors (PIs). These inhibitors, and methods of making and using them, are described herein. Because these inhibitors do not protrude beyond the substrate binding envelope on the protease, it is expected that these inhibitors will be less likely to induce the development of resistant strains.
