Synthesis of seven-membered iminosugars fused thiazolidin-4-one and benzthiazinan-4-one and their HIV-RT inhibitory activity

Intramolecular dehydrogenative C–S bond coupling of thioamides to form 1,3-benzothiazines under metal-free conditions

A new protocol for the synthesis of 1,3-benzothiazines was developed through direct intramolecular dehydrogenative C–S bond coupling.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship of anti-HIV integrase and reverse transcriptase inhibitors using norm indexes

The development of new and safe anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) drugs has been an urgent task for medical research recently. Herein, based on the norm-index descriptors proposed in this work and previous works, a couple of models were developed for investigating the quantitative structure-activity/toxicity relationship (QSAR/QSTR) of dual-target anti-HIV integrase (IN) and reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors. The validation results proved that the developed models were stable and reliable, both in statistical quality and predictive capacity. Moreover, potential dual-target inhibitors with high activity and low toxicity were deduced from the developed models; molecular docking results indicated that these inhibitors could interact with some important residues of HIV IN and RT through H-bonding. Accordingly, the norm indexes descriptors proposed by this work might be helpful for the research and development of dual-target anti-HIV drugs.

Crystal structure of 2,3-diphenyl-2,3-di-hydro-4H-1,3-benzo-thia-zin-4-one 1-oxide

In the racemic title compound, C20H15NO2S, the planes of the two phenyl substituents form dihedral angles of 48.97 (15) and 69.26 (15)° with that of the fused benzene ring of the parent benzo-thia-zine ring, while the heterocyclic thia-zine ring exhibits a screw-boat pucker. The O atom on the S atom of the ring is pseudo-axial on the thia-zine ring and trans to the 2-phenyl group. In the crystal, mol-ecules are arranged in layers in the ac plane, the layers being linked across b through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
