Abstract
Highly potent and selective 4-amidofuran-3-one inhibitors of cathepsin S are described. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of inhibitors with a sulfonamide moiety in the P3 position is presented. Several members of the series show sub-nanomolar inhibition of the target enzyme as well as an excellent selectivity profile and good cellular potency. Molecular modeling of the most interesting inhibitors describes interactions in the extended S3 pocket and explains the observed selectivity towards cathepsin K.

Novel potent macrocyclic inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus NS3 protease: Use of cyclopentane and cyclopentene P2-motifs. Bioorg Med Chem 2007; 15:7184-202.

Abstract
Several highly potent novel HCV NS3 protease inhibitors have been developed from two inhibitor series containing either a P2 trisubstituted macrocyclic cyclopentane- or a P2 cyclopentene dicarboxylic acid moiety as surrogates for the widely used N-acyl-(4R)-hydroxyproline in the P2 position. These inhibitors were optimized for anti HCV activities through examination of different ring sizes in the macrocyclic systems and further by exploring the effect of P4 substituent removal on potency. The target molecules were synthesized from readily available starting materials, furnishing the inhibitor compounds in good overall yields. It was found that the 14-membered ring system was the most potent in these two series and that the corresponding 13-, 15-, and 16-membered macrocyclic rings delivered less potent inhibitors. Moreover, the corresponding P1 acylsulfonamides had superior potencies over the corresponding P1 carboxylic acids. It is noteworthy that it has been possible to develop highly potent HCV protease inhibitors that altogether lack the P4 substituent. Thus the most potent inhibitor described in this work, inhibitor 20, displays a K(i) value of 0.41 nM and an EC(50) value of 9 nM in the subgenomic HCV replicon cell model on genotype 1b. To the best of our knowledge this is the first example described in the literature of a HCV protease inhibitor displaying high potency in the replicon assay and lacking the P4 substituent, a finding which should facilitate the development of orally active small molecule inhibitors against the HCV protease.

Abstract
HIV-1 protease is a pivotal enzyme in the later stages of the viral life cycle which is responsible for the processing and maturation of the virus particle into an infectious virion. As such, HIV-1 protease has become an important target for the treatment of AIDS, and efficient drugs have been developed. However, negative side effects and fast emerging resistance to the current drugs have necessitated the development of novel chemical entities in order to exploit different pharmacokinetic properties as well as new interaction patterns. We have used X-ray crystallography to decipher the structure-activity relationship of fluoro-substitution as a strategy to improve the antiviral activity and the protease inhibition of C2-symmetric diol-based inhibitors. In total we present six protease-inhibitor complexes at 1.8-2.3 A resolution, which have been structurally characterized with respect to their antiviral and inhibitory activities, in order to evaluate the effects of different fluoro-substitutions. These C2-symmetric inhibitors comprise mono- and difluoro-substituted benzyloxy side groups in P1/P1' and indanoleamine side groups in P2/P2'. The ortho- and meta-fluorinated P1/P1'-benzyloxy side groups proved to have the most cytopathogenic effects compared with the nonsubstituted analog and related C2-symmetric diol-based inhibitors. The different fluoro-substitutions are well accommodated in the protease S1/S1' subsites, as observed by an increase in favorable Van der Waals contacts and surface area buried by the inhibitors. These data will be used in the development of potent inhibitors with different pharmacokinetic profiles towards resistant protease mutants.

Abstract
HIV-1 protease is an important target for treatment of AIDS, and efficient drugs have been developed. However, the resistance and negative side effects of the current drugs has necessitated the development of new compounds with different binding patterns. In this study, nine C-terminally duplicated HIV-1 protease inhibitors were cocrystallised with the enzyme, the crystal structures analysed at 1.8-2.3 A resolution, and the inhibitory activity of the compounds characterized in order to evaluate the effects of the individual modifications. These compounds comprise two central hydroxy groups that mimic the geminal hydroxy groups of a cleavage-reaction intermediate. One of the hydroxy groups is located between the delta-oxygen atoms of the two catalytic aspartic acid residues, and the other in the gauche position relative to the first. The asymmetric binding of the two central inhibitory hydroxyls induced a small deviation from exact C2 symmetry in the whole enzyme-inhibitor complex. The study shows that the protease molecule could accommodate its structure to different sizes of the P2/P2' groups. The structural alterations were, however, relatively conservative and limited. The binding capacity of the S3/S3' sites was exploited by elongation of the compounds with groups in the P3/P3' positions or by extension of the P1/P1' groups. Furthermore, water molecules were shown to be important binding links between the protease and the inhibitors. This study produced a number of inhibitors with Ki values in the 100 picomolar range.

Abstract
The synthesis of novel, potent, diol-based HIV-1 protease inhibitors, having phenethyl groups (-CH(2)CH(2)Ph) in P1/P1' position is described. An intermolecular pinacol homocoupling of (2S)-2-benzyloxymethyl-4-phenylbutanal 16 was the key step in the synthesis. From this reaction sequence four carba analogues, compounds 8a, 8b, 9a, and 9b, were prepared, having the inverted configuration of one or both of the stereogenic centers carrying the diol hydroxyls as compared to the parent series represented by inhibitors 6 and 7. Inhibitor 8b was found to be a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease (PR), showing excellent antiviral activity in the cell-based assay and in the presence of 40% human serum. The absolute stereochemistry of the central diol of the potent inhibitor (8b) was determined from the X-ray crystallographic structure of its complex with HIV-1 PR.

Abstract
Implementation of derivatized carbohydrates as C(2)-symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitors has previously been reported. With the objective of improving the anti-HIV activity of such compounds, we synthesized a series of fluoro substituted P1/P1' analogues. These compounds were evaluated for antiviral activity toward both wild type and mutant virus. The potency of the analogues in blocking HIV-1 protease was moderate, with K(i) values ranging from 1 to 7 nM. Nonetheless, compared to the parent nonfluorous inhibitors, a majority of the compounds exhibited improved antiviral activity, for example the 3-fluorobenzyl derivative 9b, which had a K(i) value of 7.13 nM and displayed one of the most powerful antiviral activities in the cellular assay of the series. Our results strongly suggest that fluoro substitution can substantially improve antiviral activity. The X-ray crystal structures of two of the fluoro substituted inhibitors (9a and 9f) cocrystallized with HIV-1 protease are discussed.

Abstract
The commonly used HIV-1 protease assays rely on measurements of the effect of inhibitions on the hydrolysis rate of synthetic peptides. Recently an assay based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was introduced. We have taken advantage of the fact that the SPR signal is proportional to the mass of the analyte interacting with the immobilised molecule and developed two new improved efficient competition assay methods. Thus, high molecular weight binders were used as amplifiers of the surface plasmon resonance signal. Linkers were attached by a Heck reaction to the para-positions of the P1/P1' benzyloxy groups of a linear C2-symmetric C-terminal duplicated inhibitor to enable (a) biotin labelling or (b) direct immobilisation of the inhibitor to the biosensor surface matrix. The interaction properties of a series of 17 structurally diverse inhibitors was assessed and compared to previously reported data. The most sensitive assay was obtained by immobilising the enzyme and amplifying the signal with an antibody, giving a detection range between 0.1 nM and 10 microM. Immobilisation of the inhibitor resulted in a stable and durable surface but a narrower detection range (1-100 nM). The two competition assays are anticipated to be very suitable for fast screening of potential HIV inhibitors.

Abstract
We have previously reported on the unexpected flipped conformation in the cyclic sulfamide class of inhibitors. An attempt to induce a symmetric binding conformation by introducing P2/P2' substituents foreseen to bind preferentially in the S2/S2' subsite was unsuccessful. On the basis of the flipped conformation we anticipated that nonsymmetric sulfamide inhibitors, with P2/P2' side chains modified individually for the S1' and S2 subsites, should be more potent than the corresponding symmetric analogues. To test this hypothesis, a set of 18 cyclic sulfamide inhibitors (11 nonsymmetric and 7 symmetric) with different P2/P2' substituents was prepared and evaluated in an enzyme assay. To rationalize the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and enable the alignment of the nonsymmetric inhibitors, i.e., which of the P2/P2' substituents of the nonsymmetric inhibitors interact with which subsite, a CoMFA study was performed. The CoMFA model, constructed from the 18 inhibitors in this study along with seven inhibitors from previous work by our group, has successfully been used to rationalize the SAR of the cyclic sulfamide inhibitors. Furthermore, from the information presented herein, the SAR of the cyclic sulfamide class of inhibitors seems to differ from the SAR of the related cyclic urea inhibitors reported by DuPont and DuPont-Merck.

Abstract
The interaction between 290 structurally diverse human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors and the immobilized enzyme was analyzed with an optical biosensor. Although only a single concentration of inhibitor was used, information about the kinetics of the interaction could be obtained by extracting binding signals at discrete time points. The statistical correlation between the biosensor binding data, inhibition of enzyme activity (K(i)), and viral replication (EC(50)) revealed that the association and dissociation rates for the interaction could be resolved and that they were characteristic for the compounds. The most potent inhibitors, with respect to K(i) and EC(50) values, including the clinically used drugs, all exhibited fast association and slow dissociation rates. Selective or partially selective binders for HIV-1 protease could be distinguished from compounds that showed a general protein-binding tendency by using three reference target proteins. This biosensor-based direct binding assay revealed a capacity to efficiently provide high-resolution information on the interaction kinetics and specificity of the interaction of a set of compounds with several targets simultaneously.

Abstract
A solid phase synthesis has been developed leading up to unsymmetrical HIV-1 protease inhibitors that are not readily available by conventional solution phase chemistry (18ag). To prepare these compounds the hydroxyl group of (1S,2R)-()-cis-1-phthalimido-2-indanol (3) was coupled to a Merrifield resin via a dihydropyrane linker. Cleavage of the phthalimido protecting group and reaction of the liberated amine with the bis-activated symmetrical diacid 15 resulted in the resin bound amide 16. Coupling of 16 with amino acids and amines followed by hydrolysis produced the desired unsymmetrical products 18ag from which potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors were identified, e.g., 18e (ki = 0.1 nM), 18a (ki = 0.2 nM) and 18c (ki = 2 nM).Key words: HIV, inhibitor, protease, solid phase.

Abstract
Symmetric cyclic sulfamides, substituted in the P2/P2' position with functional groups foreseen to bind preferentially to the S2/S2' subsites of HIV-1 protease, have been prepared. Despite efforts to promote a symmetric binding, the sulfamides seemed prone to bind nonsymmetrically, as deduced from X-ray crystal structure analysis of one of the most potent inhibitors, possessing ketoxime groups in the P2/P2' side chains. Ab initio calculations suggested that the nonsymmetric conformation of the cyclic sulfamide scaffold had lower energy than the corresponding symmetric, cyclic urea-like conformation.

Abstract
An analysis of the X-ray structure of a complex of HIV-1 protease with a linear C(2)-symmetric C-terminal duplicated inhibitor guided the selection of a series of diverse target compounds. These were synthesized with the objective to identify suitable P1/P1' substituents to provide inhibitors with improved antiviral activity. Groups with various physical properties were attached to the para-positions of the P1/P1' benzyloxy groups in the parent inhibitor. A p-bromobenzyloxy compound, prepared in only three steps from commercially available starting materials, was utilized as a common precursor in all reactions. The subsequent coupling reactions were completed within a few minutes and relied on palladium catalysis and flash heating with microwave irradiation. All of the compounds synthesized exhibited good inhibitory potency in the protease assay, with K(i) values ranging from 0.09 to 3.8 nM. A 30-fold improvement of the antiviral effect in cell culture, compared to the parent compound, was achieved with four of the inhibitors. The differences in K(i) values were not correlated to the differences in antiviral effect, efficiency against mutant virus, or reduced potency in the presence of human serum. The poorest enzyme inhibitors in fact belong to the group with the best antiviral effect. The binding features of two structurally related inhibitors, cocrystallized with HIV-1 protease, are discussed with special emphasis on the interaction at the enzyme/water phase.

Abstract
A study on the use of derivatized carbohydrates as C2-symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitors has been undertaken. L-Mannaric acid (6) was bis-O-benzylated at C-2 and C-5 and subsequently coupled with amino acids and amines to give C2-symmetric products based on C-terminal duplication. Potent HIV protease inhibitors, 28 Ki = 0.4 nM and 43 Ki = 0.2 nM, have been discovered, and two synthetic methodologies have been developed, one whereby these inhibitors can be prepared in just three chemical steps from commercially available materials. A remarkable increase in potency going from IC50 = 5000 nM (23) to IC50 = 15 nM (28) was observed upon exchanging -COOMe for -CONHMe in the inhibitor, resulting in the net addition of one hydrogen bond interaction between each of the two -NH- groups and the HIV protease backbone (Gly 48/148). The X-ray crystal structures of 43 and of 48 have been determined (Figures 5 and 6), revealing the binding mode of these inhibitors which will aid further design.

Abstract
Ten C2-symmetric cyclic urea and sulfamide derivatives have been synthesized from L-mannonic gamma-lactone and D-mannitol. The results of experimental measurement of their inhibitory potencies against HIV-1 protease were compared to calculated free energies of binding derived from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The compounds were selected, firstly, to enable elucidation of the role of stereochemistry for binding affinity (1a-d) and, secondly, to allow evaluation of the effects of variation in the link to the P1 and P1' phenyl groups on affinity (1a and 2-5). Thirdly, compounds with hydrogen bond-accepting or-donating groups attached to the phenyl groups in the P2 and P2' side chains (6 and 7) were selected. Binding free energies were estimated by a linear response method, whose predictive power for estimating binding affinities from MD simulations was demonstrated.

Abstract
The synthesis of the enantiomerically pure bis(hydroxymethyl)-branched cyclohexenyl and cyclohexyl purines is described. Racemic trans-4,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexene [(+/-)-6] was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to give the racemic diol (+/-)-7. Resolution of (+/-)-7 via a transesterification process using lipase from Pseudomonas sp. (SAM-II) gave both diols in enantiomerically pure form. The enantiomerically pure diol (S,S)-7was benzoylated and epoxidized to give the epoxide 9. Treatment of the epoxide 9 with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-5-ene followed by dilute hydrochloric acid gave (1R,4S,5R)-4,5-bis[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-1-hydroxycyclohex-2-ene (10). Acetylation of 10 gave (1R,4S,5R)-1-acetoxy-4,5-bis[(benzoyloxy)methyl]cyclohex-2-ene (11). (1R,4S,5R)-1-Acetoxy-4,5-bis[(benzoyloxy)methyl]cyclohex-2-ene (11) was converted to the adenine derivative 12 and guanine derivative 13 via palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling with adenine and 2-amino-6-chloropurine, respectively. Hydrogenation of 12 and 13 gave the correspondning saturated adenine derivative 14 and guanine derivative 15. (1R,4S,5R)-4,5-Bis[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-1-hydroxycyclohex-2-ene (10) was converted to the adenine derivative 16 and guanine derivative 17 via coupling with 6-chloropurine and 2-amino-6-chloropurine, respectively, using a modified Mitsunobu procedure. Hydrogenation of 16 and 17 gave the corresponding saturated adenine derivative 18 and guanine derivative 19. Compounds 12-19 were evaluated for activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but were found to be inactive. Further biological testings are underway.

The synthesis of [4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-2-yl]nucleosides is described. 2,3-Epoxy alcohol 10 was converted in one pot into thioacetate 11. Treatment of 11 under mild alkaline conditions gave thiirane 12 with inversion of configuration at C-2. We also found that thioacetate 11 rearranges into thiirane 14 under mild acidic conditions. This rearrangement reaction was shown by independent synthesis to proceed with net retention of configuration at C-2. We have proposed a tentative mechanism which may explain the results obtained. Opening of thiiranes 12 and 14 followed by deprotection gave (2R,3R)-2-thiothreitol (23) and (2S,3R)-2-thioerythritol (25), respectively. Regioselective silylation of the primary hydroxyl groups of 23 followed by treatment with trimethyl orthoformate gave 2-methoxy-1,3-oxathiolanes 26 and 27. Condensation with silylated bases followed by deprotection and separation of the anomers gave the oxathiolanylnucleosides. Compounds 29-31, 34, and 35 were found to be inactive when tested for inhibition of HIV-1 activity in vitro.

Abstract
The synthesis of 1,3-dioxolan-2-ylnucleosides and related chemistry is described. We have shown that 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane (6) reacts with silylated thymine and trimethylsilyl triflate to give the acyclic formate ester 1-[2-(formyloxy)ethyl]thymine (8) rather than 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)thymine (7). A tentative mechanism which could explain this result is discussed. On the other hand, 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane 13c reacts with silylated bases to give [4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]nucleosides, thus representing the first examples of this novel class of compounds. The nature of the nucleobase and the hydroxyl protecting groups was found to have great influence on the reaction and on the stability of the nucleosides. Compounds 16 and 18 were found to be inactive when tested for anti HIV-1 activity in vitro.

Abstract
The synthesis of [4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dithiolan-2-yl]nucleosides is described. (2S,3S)-1,2:3,4-Diepoxybutane (13) was reacted with potassium thiocyanate to give (2R,3R)-1,2:3,4-diepithiobutane (14). Thiiranering opening with acetate followed by deacetylation gave (2R,3R)-2,3-dithiothreitol (19) which was silylated and treated with trimethyl orthoformate to give the 2-methoxy-1,3-dithiolane 20. Condensation of 20 with silylated thymine, uracil, N(4)-benzoylcytosine and 6-chloropurine using a modified Vorbrüggen procedure, followed by deprotection, gave the nucleoside analogues. Compounds 26, 28, and 30 were found to be inactive when tested for anti-HIV activity in vitro.

Specific interaction between HIV-1 proteinase and 5'-phosphate peptidomimetic derivatives of nucleoside analogues. DRUG DESIGN AND DISCOVERY 1995; 13:43-54.

Abstract
HIV-1 proteinase is shown to interact with 5'-(methoxyglycinyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl))thiophosphat e derivatives of 3'-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine (FLT), 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and of acyclovir (ACV). The enzyme is inhibited in vitro by micromolar concentrations of these compounds. The Ki-value for the FLT derivative was 15 microM. Other closely related 5'-phosphate derivatives of nucleoside analogues tested showed no effect on the enzymatic activity, indicating a high degree of specificity. This type of compound is unstable in buffer at alkaline pH and in cell culture resulting in inhibition of HIV replication. HIV proteinase does not catalyse the hydrolysis nor is it inhibited by the hydrolysis products. Modelling of the non-nucleoside moiety of the compounds show that they can adopt a low energy conformation which is similar to a pseudo C2 symmetric inhibitor of HIV-1 proteinase.

Abstract
In order to obtain rigidity within the sugar moiety of nucleosides, some bicyclic pyrimidine nucleoside analogues were synthesized starting from cyclopentanone. The C-3' is fused to C-4' via a propylene linker in order to obtain a [3.3.0]-bicyclic ring system wherein the sugar moiety should be restricted to mainly the C-1'-exo conformation.
