Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) terminase complex entails a metal-dependent endonuclease at the C-terminus of pUL89 (pUL89-C). We report herein the design, synthesis, and characterization of dihydroxypyrimidine (DHP) acid (14), methyl ester (13), and amide (15) subtypes as inhibitors of HCMV pUL89-C. All analogs synthesized were tested in an endonuclease assay and a thermal shift assay (TSA) and subjected to molecular docking to predict binding affinity. Although analogs inhibiting pUL89-C in the sub-μM range were identified from all three subtypes, acids (14) showed better overall potency, substantially larger thermal shift, and considerably better docking scores than esters (13) and amides (15). In the cell-based antiviral assay, six analogs inhibited HCMV with moderate activities (EC50 = 14.4-22.8 μM). The acid subtype (14) showed good in vitro ADME properties, except for poor permeability. Overall, our data support the DHP acid subtype (14) as a valuable scaffold for developing antivirals targeting HCMV pUL89-C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the progress in the discovery of antiretroviral compounds for treating HIV-1 infection by targeting HIV integrase (IN), a promising and well-known drug target against HIV-1, there is a growing need to increase the armamentarium against HIV, for avoiding the drug resistance issue. OBJECTIVE To develop novel HIV-1 IN inhibitors, a series of 3-hydroxy-pyrane-4-one (HP) and 3- hydroxy-pyridine-4-one (HPO) derivatives have been rationally designed and synthesized. METHODS To provide a significant characterization of the novel compounds, in-depth computational analysis was performed using a novel HIV-1 IN/DNA binary 3D-model for investigating the binding mode of the newly conceived molecules in complex with IN. The 3D-model was generated using the proto-type foamy virus (PFV) DNA as a structural template, positioning the viral polydesoxyribonucleic chain into the HIV-1 IN homology model. Moreover, a series of in vitro tests were performed including HIV-1 activity inhibition, HIV-1 IN activity inhibition, HIV-1 IN strand transfer activity inhibition and cellular toxicity. RESULTS Bioassay results indicated that most of HP analogues including HPa, HPb, HPc, HPd, HPe and HPg, showed favorable inhibitory activities against HIV-1-IN in the low micromolar range. Particularly halogenated derivatives (HPb and HPd) offered the best biological activities in terms of reduced toxicity and optimum inhibitory activities against HIV-1 IN and HIV-1 in cell culture. CONCLUSION Halogenated derivatives, HPb and HPd, displayed the most promising anti-HIV profile, paving the way to the optimization of the presented scaffolds for developing new effective antiviral agents.

Abstract
![]()
Magnesium plays an important role
in infection with Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (Mtb) as a signal of the extracellular
environment, as a cofactor for many enzymes, and as a structural element
in important macromolecules. Raltegravir, an antiretroviral drug that
inhibits HIV-1 integrase is known to derive its potency from selective
sequestration of active-site magnesium ions in addition to binding
to a hydrophobic pocket. In order to determine if essential Mtb-related phosphoryl transfers could be disrupted in a
similar manner, a directed screen of known molecules with integrase
inhibitor-like pharmacophores (N-alkyl-5-hydroxypyrimidinone
carboxamides) was performed. Initial hits afforded compounds with
low-micromolar potency against Mtb, acceptable cytotoxicity
and PK characteristics, and robust SAR. Elucidation of the target
of these compounds revealed that they lacked magnesium dependence
and instead disappointingly inhibited a known promiscuous target in Mtb, decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose 2′-oxidase
(DprE1, Rv3790).

Abstract
5-Methylcytosine (MeC) is an endogenous modification of DNA that plays a crucial role in DNA-protein interactions, chromatin structure, epigenetic regulation, and DNA repair. MeC is produced via enzymatic methylation of the C-5 position of cytosine by DNA-methyltransferases (DNMT) which use S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a cofactor. Hemimethylated CG dinucleotides generated as a result of DNA replication are specifically recognized and methylated by maintenance DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). The accuracy of DNMT1-mediated methylation is essential for preserving tissue-specific DNA methylation and thus gene expression patterns. In the present study, we synthesized DNA duplexes containing MeC analogues with modified C-5 side chains and examined their ability to guide cytosine methylation by the human DNMT1 protein. We found that the ability of 5-alkylcytosines to direct cytosine methylation decreased with increased alkyl chain length and rigidity (methyl > ethyl > propyl ∼ vinyl). Molecular modeling studies indicated that this loss of activity may be caused by the distorted geometry of the DNA-protein complex in the presence of unnatural alkylcytosines.

Abstract
Bifunctional quinolinonyl DKA derivatives were first described as nonselective inhibitors of 3'-processing (3'-P) and strand transfer (ST) functions of HIV-1 integrase (IN), while 7-aminosubstituted quinolinonyl derivatives were proven IN strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) that also displayed activity against ribonuclease H (RNase H). In this study, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new quinolinonyl diketo acid (DKA) derivatives characterized by variously substituted alkylating groups on the nitrogen atom of the quinolinone ring. Removal of the second DKA branch of bifunctional DKAs, and the amino group in position 7 of quinolinone ring combined with a fine-tuning of the substituents on the benzyl group in position 1 of the quinolinone, increased selectivity for IN ST activity. In vitro, the most potent compound was 11j (IC50 = 10 nM), while the most active compounds against HIV infected cells were ester derivatives 10j and 10l. In general, the activity against RNase H was negligible, with only a few compounds active at concentrations higher than 10 μM. The binding mode of the most potent IN inhibitor 11j within the IN catalytic core domain (CCD) is described as well as its binding mode within the RNase H catalytic site to rationalize its selectivity.

Abstract
A series of novel β-diketo derivatives which combined the virtues of dihydroxypyrimidine carboxamide derived from the evolution of DKA and polyhydroxylated aromatics moieties, were designed and synthesized as potential HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors and evaluated their inhibition to the strand transfer process of HIV-1 integrase and anti-HIV-1 activity. The result indicates that 3,4,5-trihydroxylated aromatic derivatives exhibit good inhibition to HIV-1 integrase, but dihydroxylated aromatic derivatives appear little inhibition to HIV-1 integrase. In addition, the preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these new derivatives was rationalized by docking studies.

Abstract
Heterocyclic substances perform a very unique role in drug design and discovery. This article provides the primary objectives of the analysis within pyrimidine centered new heterocyclic elements chronologically from their finding focusing on one of the essential enzyme of HIV virus particle that is integrase upon suppressing its strand transfer function. The class of compounds reviewed here includes bicyclic pyrimidines, dihydroxypyrimidines, pyrimidine-2,4-dinones, N-methylpyrimidones, pyranopyrimidine, pyridine-quinoline conjugates, pyrimidine-2-carboxamides, N-3 hydroxylated pyrimidine-2,4-diones as well as their various substituted analogues. Such initiatives released an effective drug Raltegravir as a first FDA approved anti-HIV integrase inhibitor as well as several of its derivatives along with other pyrimidones is under clinical or preclinical growth. Some of the provided scaffolds indicated dual anti-HIV efficacies against HIV reverse transcriptase and integrase enzymes at both cites as 3'-processing and strand transfer, while several scaffolds exhibited potency against Raltegravir resistant HIV mutant strains determining themselves a potent class of compounds having appealing upcoming implementations. Connections of the new compounds' molecular structure and HIV viral target has been overviewed to be able to accomplish further growth of promising anti-HIV agents in future drug discovery process.

A series
of antiviral basic quinolinonyl diketo acid derivatives
were developed as inhibitors of HIV-1 IN. Compounds 12d,f,i inhibited HIV-1 IN with IC50 values below 100 nM for strand transfer and showed a 2 order of
magnitude selectivity over 3′-processing. These strand transfer
selective inhibitors also inhibited HIV-1 RNase H with low micromolar
potencies. Molecular modeling studies based on both the HIV-1 IN and
RNase H catalytic core domains provided new structural insights for
the future development of these compounds as dual HIV-1 IN and RNase
H inhibitors.

Abstract
The gH/gL heterodimer represents two of the four herpes simplex virus glycoproteins necessary and sufficient for membrane fusion. We generated deletions and point mutations covering gL residues 24 to 43 to investigate that region's role in gH/gL intracellular trafficking and in membrane fusion. Multiple mutants displayed a 40 to 60% reduction in cell fusion with no effect on gH/gL trafficking. The amino terminus of gL plays an important role in the gH/gL contribution to membrane fusion.

Abstract
Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies were performed based on a series of azaindole carboxylic acid derivatives that had previously been reported as promising HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. Docking studies to explore the binding mode were performed based on the highly active molecule 36. The best docked conformation of molecule 36 was used as template for alignment. The comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) model (including steric and electrostatic fields) yielded the cross validation q (2) = 0.655, non-cross validation r (2) = 0.989 and predictive r (2) pred = 0.979. The best comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) model (including steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond acceptor fields) yielded the cross validation q (2) = 0.719, non-cross validation r (2) = 0.992 and predictive r (2) pred = 0.953. A series of new azaindole carboxylic acid derivatives were designed and the HIV-1 integrase inhibitory activities of these designed compounds were predicted based on the CoMFA and CoMSIA models.

Abstract
Raltegravir is the first integrase strand-transfer inhibitor (INSTI) approved for use in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for the management of HIV infection. Resistance to antiretrovirals can compromise the efficacy of HAART regimens. Therefore it is important to understand the emergence of resistance to RAL and cross-resistance to other INSTIs including potential second-generation INSTIs such as MK-2048. We have now studied the question of whether in vitro resistance selection (IVRS) with RAL initiated with viruses derived from clinical isolates would result in selection of resistance mutations consistent with those arising during treatment regimens with HAART containing RAL. Some correlation was observed between the primary mutations selected in vitro and during therapy, initiated with viruses with identical IN sequences. Additionally, phenotypic cross-resistance conferred by specific mutations to RAL and MK-2048 was quantified. N155H, a RAL-associated primary resistance mutation, was selected after IVRS with MK-2048, suggesting similar mechanisms of resistance to RAL and MK-2048. This was confirmed by phenotypic analysis of 766 clonal viruses harboring IN sequences isolated at the point of virological failure from 106 patients on HAART (including RAL), where mutation Q148H/K/R together with additional secondary mutations conferred reduced susceptibility to both RAL and MK-2048. A homology model of full length HIV-1 integrase complexed with viral DNA and RAL or MK-2048, based on an X-ray structure of the prototype foamy virus integrase-DNA complex, was used to explain resistance to RAL and cross-resistance to MK-2048. These findings will be important for the further discovery and profiling of next-generation INSTIs.

Abstract
N-3-hydroxylation of pyrimidine-2,4-diones was recently found to yield inhibitors of both HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN). An extended series of analogues featuring a benzoyl group at the C-6 position of the pyrimidine ring was synthesized. Through biochemical studies it was found that these new analogues are dually active against both RT and IN in low micromolar range. Antiviral assays confirmed that these new inhibitors are active against HIV-1 in cell culture at nanomolar to low micromolar range, further validating 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-diones as a viable scaffold for antiviral development.

Abstract
Integrase (IN) represents a clinically validated target for the development of antivirals against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Inhibitors with a novel structure core are essential for combating resistance associated with known IN inhibitors (INIs). We have previously disclosed a novel dual inhibitor scaffold of HIV IN and reverse transcriptase (RT). Here we report the complete structure-activity relationship (SAR), molecular modeling, and resistance profile of this inhibitor type on IN inhibition. These studies support an antiviral mechanism of dual inhibition against both IN and RT and validate 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-diones as an IN inhibitor scaffold.

Abstract
Three-dimensional macromolecular structures shed critical light on biological mechanism and facilitate development of small molecule inhibitors. Clinical success of raltegravir, a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase, demonstrated the utility of this viral DNA recombinase as an antiviral target. A variety of partial integrase structures reported in the past 16 years have been instrumental and very informative to the field. Nonetheless, because integrase protein fragments are unable to functionally engage the viral DNA substrate critical for strand transfer inhibitor binding, the early structures did little to materially impact drug development efforts. However, recent results based on prototype foamy virus integrase have fully reversed this trend, as a number of X-ray crystal structures of active integrase-DNA complexes revealed key mechanistic details and moreover established the foundation of HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor action. In this review we discuss the landmarks in the progress of integrase structural biology during the past 17 years.

Abstract
A new molecular scaffold featuring an N-hydroxyimide functionality and capable of inhibiting both reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN) of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was rationally designed based on 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy) methyl]-6-(phenylthio)-thymine (HEPT) non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs). The design involves a minimal 3-N hydroxylation of the pyrimidine ring of HEPT compound to yield a chelating triad which, along with the existing benzyl group, appeared to satisfy major structural requirements for IN binding. In the mean time, this chemical modification did not severely compromise the compound's ability to inhibit RT. A preliminary structure-activity-relationship (SAR) study reveals that this N-3 OH is essential for IN inhibition and that the benzyl group on N-1 side chain is more important for IN binding than the one on C-6.

Abstract
The development of HIV integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and our understanding of viral resistance to these molecules have been hampered by a paucity of available structural data. We recently reported cocrystal structures of the prototype foamy virus (PFV) intasome with raltegravir and elvitegravir, establishing the general INSTI binding mode. We now present an expanded set of cocrystal structures containing PFV intasomes complexed with first- and second-generation INSTIs at resolutions of up to 2.5 Å. Importantly, the improved resolution allowed us to refine the complete coordination spheres of the catalytic metal cations within the INSTI-bound intasome active site. We show that like the Q148H/G140S and N155H HIV-1 IN variants, the analogous S217H and N224H PFV INs display reduced sensitivity to raltegravir in vitro. Crystal structures of the mutant PFV intasomes in INSTI-free and -bound forms revealed that the amino acid substitutions necessitate considerable conformational rearrangements within the IN active site to accommodate an INSTI, thus explaining their adverse effects on raltegravir antiviral activity. Furthermore, our structures predict physical proximity and an interaction between HIV-1 IN mutant residues His148 and Ser/Ala140, rationalizing the coevolution of Q148H and G140S/A mutations in drug-resistant viral strains.
