Abstract
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors are fundamental to the discovery and development of anti-HIV drugs. Their main target is RT, and only a tiny number of them can bind to viral RNA. In this paper, five new Zn(II) porphyrin compounds were developed with different characters. ZnTPP4 has both the appearance and the functions of a scorpion with a rigid tail and stinger to selectively hunt HIV-1 TAR RNA based on the molecular recognition of hydrogen bonds, a fierce chelicera to bite RNA by metal coordination, mighty pedipalps to grasp the bound RNA by supramolecular inclusion, and a broad body maintaining the configuration of each functional area so that they can cooperate with each other and providing accommodation space for the bound RNA. This tetrafunctional Zn(II) porphyrin is relatively nontoxic to normal cells and can produce sensitive responses for RNA. Moreover, this work offers practical construction methodologies for medication of AIDS and other diseases closely related to RT like EBOV and SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
A series of novel heteroaromatic-difluoro-biphenyl-diarylpyrimidines were designed as non-nucleoside anti-HIV inhibitors targeting reverse transcriptase by a fragment-based replacement strategy with the purpose of improving the druggability. Hopping five- or six-membered heterocycle groups on the biphenyl moiety as bioisosterism for intrinsically cyanophenyl gave 23 derivatives. All of these compounds possessed excellent HIV-1 inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range. Among them, 12g with a 4-pyridine group displayed excellent inhibitory activity toward WT and mutant HIV virus possessing significant selectivity. Moreover, this compound exhibited a decent improvement in druggability than etravirine and rilpivirine: (1) The hydrochloric acid salt of 12g exhibited significantly improved water solubility in different pH conditions. (2) 12g did not show apparent CYP enzymatic inhibitory activity or acute toxicity. (3) Excellent oral bioavailability was also revealed (F = 126%, rats) in 12g. Collectively, these novel heteroaromatic-biphenyl-DAPYs represent promising drug candidates for HIV clinical therapy.

Abstract
Fifteen naphthyl-carboxamide-DAPYs were generated to explore chemical space in reverse transcriptase (RT) binding site via lead optimization strategy. They displayed up to single-digit nanomolar activity against wild-type (WT) and rilpivirine-associated resistant mutant E138K viruses, as well as potent inhibitory ability toward the RT enzyme. Compound a1 showed exceptionally inhibitory effects with an EC50 value of 3.7 nM against HIV-1 wt strain, and an EC50 of 11 nM targeting mutant E138K. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the newly obtained DAPYs were also investigated. Molecular docking analysis elucidated the biological activity and offered a structural insight for follow-up research.
