Deciphering the enigmas of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs): A medicinal chemistry expedition towards combating HIV drug resistance. Med Res Rev 2024. [PMID: 39188075 DOI: 10.1002/med.22080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
The pivotal involvement of reverse transcriptase activity in the pathogenesis of the progressive HIV virus has stimulated gradual advancements in drug discovery initiatives spanning three decades. Consequently, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have emerged as a preeminent category of therapeutic agents for HIV management. Academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies have developed numerous NNRTIs, an essential component of antiretroviral therapy. Six NNRTIs have received Food and Drug Administration approval and are widely used in clinical practice, significantly improving the quality of HIV patients. However, the rapid emergence of drug resistance has limited the effectiveness of these medications, underscoring the necessity for perpetual research and development of novel therapeutic alternatives. To supplement the existing literatures on NNRTIs, a comprehensive review has been compiled to synthesize this extensive dataset into a comprehensible format for the medicinal chemistry community. In this review, a thorough investigation and meticulous analysis were conducted on the progressions achieved in NNRTIs within the past 8 years (2016-2023), and the experiences and insights gained in the development of inhibitors with varying chemical structures were also summarized. The provision of a crucial point of reference for the development of wide-ranging anti-HIV medications is anticipated.

Eur J Med Chem 2023; 259:115686. [PMID: 37536208 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
To develop more potent HIV-1 inhibitors against a variety of NNRTIs-resistant strains, a series of 5-cyano substituted diarylpyridines was designed based on the cocrystal structural analysis. Among them, I-5b showed the greatest potency (EC50 = 5.62-171 nM) against the wild-type (WT) and mutant HIV-1 strains. Especially for K103 N, I-5b exhibited outstanding activity with EC50 values of 9.37 nM, being much superior to that of NVP (EC50 = 5128 nM) and EFV (EC50 = 114 nM) and comparable to that of ETR (EC50 = 3.45 nM). In addition, the target of all compounds was turned out to be HIV-1 RT with moderate RT enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.094-12.0 μM). Moreover, the binding mode of representative compounds with RT was elaborated via molecular docking.

Identification of "dual-site"-binding diarylpyrimidines targeting both NNIBP and the NNRTI adjacent site of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 247:115045. [PMID: 36577216 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.115045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Here, we reported a novel series of "dual-site" binding diarylpyrimidine (DAPY) derivatives targeting both the NNRTI adjacent site and NNRTIs binding pocket (NNIBP). The anti-HIV-1 activity results demonstrated that compound 9e (EC50 = 2.04-61.1 nM) displayed robust potencies against a panel of HIV-1 NNRTIs-resistant strains, being comparable to that of etravirine (ETR). Moreover, 9e displayed much lower cytotoxicity (CC50 = 59.2 μM) and higher SI values (4605) toward wild-type HIV-1 strain. The HIV-1 RT enzyme inhibitory activity clarified the binding target of 9e was HIV-1 RT (IC50 = 0.019 μM). Furthermore, the molecular modeling study was also investigated to give a reasonable explanation of the preliminary SARs. Further test indicated that 9e possessed significantly improved water solubility under pH 7.0 and 7.4 conditions. Additionally, the in silico prediction of physicochemical properties and CYP enzymatic inhibitory ability were investigated to evaluate their drug-like features. Consequently, compound 9e showed the highest activity and low cytotoxicity, which could be used as a lead for further modification to obtain potent HIV-1 NNRTIs.

Abstract
This study presents proof of concept for designing a novel HIV-1 covalent inhibitor targeting the highly conserved Tyr318 in the HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors binding pocket to improve the drug resistance profiles. The target inhibitor ZA-2 with a fluorosulfate warhead in the structure was found to be a potent inhibitor (EC50 = 11-246 nM) against HIV-1 IIIB and a panel of NNRTIs-resistant strains, being far superior to those of NVP and EFV. Moreover, ZA-2 was demonstrated with lower cytotoxicity (CC50 = 125 µM). In the reverse transcriptase inhibitory assay, ZA-2 exhibited an IC50 value of 0.057 µM with the ELISA method, and the MALDI-TOF MS data demonstrated the covalent binding mode of ZA-2 with the enzyme. Additionally, the molecular simulations have also demonstrated that compounds can form covalent binding to the Tyr318.

Abstract
Thienopyrimidines are widely represented in the literature, mainly due to their structural relationship with purine base such as adenine and guanine. This current review presents three isomers-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines, thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines and thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines-and their anti-infective properties. Broad-spectrum thienopyrimidines with biological properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral inspired us to analyze and compile their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and classify their synthetic pathways. This review explains the main access route to synthesize thienopyrimidines from thiophene derivatives or from pyrimidine analogs. In addition, SAR study and promising anti-infective activity of these scaffolds are summarized in figures and explanatory diagrams. Ligand-receptor interactions were modeled when the biological target was identified and the crystal structure was solved.

Abstract
In this review, the unique properties of intrinsically conducting polymer (ICP) in biomedical engineering fields are summarized. Polythiophene and its valuable derivatives are known as potent materials that can broadly be applied in biosensors, DNA, and gene delivery applications. Moreover, this material plays a basic role in curing and promoting anti-HIV drugs. Some of the thiophene’s derivatives were chosen for different experiments and investigations to study their behavior and effects while binding with different materials and establishing new compounds. Many methods were considered for electrode coating and the conversion of thiophene to different monomers to improve their functions and to use them for a new generation of novel medical usages. It is believed that polythiophenes and their derivatives can be used in the future as a substitute for many old-fashioned ways of creating chemical biosensors polymeric materials and also drugs with lower side effects yet having a more effective response. It can be noted that syncing biochemistry with biomedical engineering will lead to a new generation of science, especially one that involves high-efficiency polymers. Therefore, since polythiophene can be customized with many derivatives, some of the novel combinations are covered in this review.

Abstract
In recent years several important viral infections have emerged and antiviral chemotherapeutic agents are not sufficiently effective in clinic, leading to serious human diseases and mortality. Therefore, novel antiviral candidates are urgently desirable, which undoubtedly is essential for the therapy of various fatal and debilitating viral infections. Heterocyclic compounds are obtaining importance in the field of medicinal chemistry because of the broad spectrum of their physiological activities. Among N- and S-containing heterocycles, indole, imidazole, thiazole, pyridine, and quinaxoline derivatives are especially attractive. The present review highlights antiviral behavior of these heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Drug discovery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a hot field in medicinal chemistry community for many years. The diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) are the second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) targeting reverse transcriptase, playing a great irreplaceable role in HIV transcriptional therapy. However, fast-growing drug-resistant mutations as nonnegligible challenge are still unpredictably appeared in the clinical practice, leading to deactivate or reduce the existing drugs. In the last 20 years, more and more novel DAPY derivatives have developed with the purpose to counter the mutants. Nevertheless, most of them have dissatisfactory pharmacokinetics (PK) or poor antiviral activity toward resistant mutant strains. In this article, we will analyze the NNRTI derivatives with promising druggability, and summarize a series of druggability modification strategies to improve the antiviral activity, reduce toxicity and improve the PK properties in recent years. The prospects of DAPYs and the directions for future efforts will be discussed.

Abstract
Previous efforts in our lab have led to the development of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine compound 1 (K-5a2) with promising activity against wild-type and mutant HIV-1 strains. In this work, a series of novel diarylpyrimidines derivatives carrying a structurally diverse motif at the right wing of the lead K-5a2 was designed and synthesized as potential anti-HIV-1 agents. The results demonstrated that 8a yielded exceptionally potent activity against HIV-1 wild-type (50% effective concentration (EC50) = 3.30 nM) and mutant strain RES056 (EC50 = 22.6 nM) in MT-4 cells; in the reverse transcriptase inhibitory assay, 8a (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 0.028 μM) was remarkably superior to that of K-5a2 (IC50 = 0.300 μM) and comparable to that of etravirine (ETR; IC50 = 0.011 μM). Notably, 8a exhibited better druggability than that of K-5a2, including significantly reduced CYP enzymatic inhibitory activity (IC50 > 50 μM), lower human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) inhibition (IC50 > 30 μM), and improved metabolic stability (short half-life, T1/2 = 77.5 min) in vitro.

Abstract
Taking the previously reported compound BH-7d as the lead, we designed and synthesized a series of piperidinyl-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, and their anti-HIV activities as well as cytotoxicities were evaluated. Several compounds exhibited moderate anti-HIV (IIIB) potency, among which 2b was the most active one (EC50 = 4.29 μM). Structure-activity relationships derived from the antiretroviral results were analyzed. Additionally, most compounds demonstrated reduced cytotoxicity (CC50 > 200 μM) compared with those of BH-7d and etravirine. Molecular docking study further revealed the binding conformation of 2b in the binding pocket of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

Abstract
From many decades, S-heterocycles have maintained their status as an important part and core of FDA approved drugs and medicinally active compounds. With exhaustive exploration of nitrogen heterocycles in medicinal chemistry, researchers have shifted their interest towards other heterocycles, especially, S-heterocycles. Thus several attempts have been made to synthesize a variety of new sulphur containing compounds with high medicinal value and low toxicity profile, in comparison to previous N-heterocycles. Till today, S-heterocycle containing compounds have been largely reported as anticancer, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antihypertension, antivral, antinflammatory etc. In this review, the authors have tried to provide a critical analysis of synthesis and medicinal attributes of sulphur containing heterocycles such as thiirane, thiophene, thiazole, thiopyran, thiazolidine etc reported within last five years to emphasize the significance and usefulness of these S-heterocycles in the drug discovery process.

Abstract
New N-substituted-2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives were synthesized employing a convenient one-pot three-component method and their structures were characterized by 1 H-NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the synthesized compounds were in vitro screened for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive (Sarcina lutea) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). In this work, we introduced a chiral residue on the tetrahydropyridine nitrogen, the hitherto the less investigated position on this pharmacophore in order to explore the effect. The antibacterial results showed that the synthesized compounds were active only against Gram-positive bacteria and the (R)-enantiomers displayed a greater antimicrobial potency than their (S)-counterparts. The structure-activity relationship here investigated may provide some interesting clues for future development of tetrahydrothienopyridine derivatives with higher antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes over a million deaths every year and has a huge economic impact in many countries. The first class of drugs approved were nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. A newer generation of reverse transcriptase inhibitors have become susceptible to drug resistant strains of HIV, and hence, alternatives are urgently needed. We have recently pioneered the use of Bayesian machine learning to generate models with public data to identify new compounds for testing against different disease targets. The current study has used the NIAID ChemDB HIV, Opportunistic Infection and Tuberculosis Therapeutics Database for machine learning studies. We curated and cleaned data from HIV-1 wild-type cell-based and reverse transcriptase (RT) DNA polymerase inhibition assays. Compounds from this database with ≤1 μM HIV-1 RT DNA polymerase activity inhibition and cell-based HIV-1 inhibition are correlated (Pearson r = 0.44, n = 1137, p < 0.0001). Models were trained using multiple machine learning approaches (Bernoulli Naive Bayes, AdaBoost Decision Tree, Random Forest, support vector classification, k-Nearest Neighbors, and deep neural networks as well as consensus approaches) and then their predictive abilities were compared. Our comparison of different machine learning methods demonstrated that support vector classification, deep learning, and a consensus were generally comparable and not significantly different from each other using 5-fold cross validation and using 24 training and test set combinations. This study demonstrates findings in line with our previous studies for various targets that training and testing with multiple data sets does not demonstrate a significant difference between support vector machine and deep neural networks.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is now pandemic. Targeting HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) has been considered as one of the most successful targets for the development of anti-HIV treatment. Among the HIV-1 RT inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have gained a definitive place due to their unique antiviral potency, high specificity, and low toxicity in antiretroviral combination therapies used to treat HIV. Until now, >50 structurally diverse classes of compounds have been reported as NNRTIs. Among them, six NNRTIs were approved for HIV-1 treatment, namely, nevirapine (NVP), delavirdine (DLV), efavirenz (EFV), etravirine (ETR), rilpivirine (RPV), and doravirine (DOR). In this perspective, we focus on the six NNRTIs and lessons learned from their journey through development to clinical studies. It demonstrates the obligatory need of understanding the physicochemical and biological principles (lead optimization), resistance mutations, synthesis, and clinical requirements for drugs.

Abstract
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have always been an important part of the anti-HIV-1 combination therapy known as combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) since 1996. The use of NNRTIs for about 22 years has led to some mutations in the residues that compose the reverse transcriptase active site, resulting in the emergence of drug-resistant viruses. Thus, the search for new potent NNRTIs with an improved safety profile and activity against drug-resistant HIV strains is indispensable, and many hit and lead NNRTIs have been discovered in the last decade. This review provides an overview of the development in this field from 2013 to August 2018.

[PMID: 30445408 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2018.10.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2018] [Revised: 10/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Conformational adaptation of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) via torsional flexibility is found to be very significant for targeting human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) mutants. Catechol diether derivative including flexible torsions is new potent NNRTI with picomolar activity. Moreover, this derivative also reveals the good solubility, low toxicity and potent inhibition for HIV-1 mutants. In this study, torsional flexibility of an undecorated catechol diether compound in the binding pocket of wild type and mutants (Y181C and K103N/Y181C) HIV-1 RT is investigated by using QM/MM calculations. From the results, the uracil ring is found to exhibit more flexibility in the NNIBP. On the contrary, potential energy surfaces show that high energy is encountered by changing of the corresponding torsion of the cyanovinyl aryl ring indicating the limitation for torsional flexibility. For pointing out the key interaction for the binding, the residual interaction energies are performed by means of QM calculations. Important attractive interactions through hydrogen bonds between the inhibitor and K102, K/N103, V106, and Y188 are observed. The catechol ring is proposed to be modified in order to strengthen interactions with surrounding amino acids. The results may help for the designing of new potent NNRTIs.

Abstract
HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have been playing an important role in the fight against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as the second generation NNRTIs, represented by etravirine (TMC125) and rilpivirine (TMC278), have attracted extensive attention due to their extraordinary potency, high specificity and low toxicity. However, the rapid emergence of drug-resistant virus strains and dissatisfactory pharmacokinetics of DAPYs present new challenges. In the past two decades, an increasing number of novel DAPY derivatives have emerged, which significantly enriched the structure-activity relationship of DAPYs. Studies of crystallography and molecular modeling have afforded a lot of useful information on structural requirements of NNRTIs, which contributes greatly to the improvement of their resistance profiles. In this review, we reviewed the discovery history and their evolution of DAPYs including their structural modification, derivatization and scaffold hopping in continuous pursuit of excellent anti-HIV drugs. And also, we discussed the prospect of DAPYs and the directions of future efforts.

Abstract
Based on the detailed analysis of the binding mode of diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) with HIV-1 RT, we designed several subseries of novel NNRTIs, with the aim to probe biologically relevant chemical space of solvent-exposed tolerant regions in NNRTIs binding pocket (NNIBP). The most potent compound 21a exhibited significant activity against the whole viral panel, being about 1.5-2.6-fold (WT, EC50 = 2.44 nM; L100I, EC50 = 4.24 nM; Y181C, EC50 = 4.80 nM; F227L + V106A, EC50 = 17.8 nM) and 4-5-fold (K103N, EC50 = 1.03 nM; Y188L, EC50 = 7.16 nM; E138K, EC50 = 3.95 nM) more potent than the reference drug ETV. Furthermore, molecular simulation was conducted to understand the binding mode of interactions of these novel NNRTIs and to provide insights for the next optimization studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To deal with the rapid emergence of drug resistance challenges, together with the difficulty to eradicate the virus, off-target effects and significant cumulative drug toxicities, it is still imperative to develop next-generation anti-HIV agents with novel chemical classes or new mechanisms of action. AREAS COVERED We primarily focused on current strategies to discover novel anti-HIV agents. Moreover, examples of anti-HIV lead compounds were mainly selected from recently patented publications (reported between 2014 and 2017). In particular, 'privileged structure'-focused substituents decorating approach, scaffold hopping, natural-product diversification and prodrug are focused on. Furthermore, exploitation of new compounds with unexplored mechanisms of action and medicinal chemistry strategies to deplete the HIV reservoir were also described. Perspectives that could inspire future anti-HIV drug discovery are delineated. EXPERT OPINION Even if a large number of patents have been disclosed recently, additional HIV inhibitors are still required, especially novel chemical skeletons displaying a unexploited mechanism of action. Current medicinal chemistry strategies are inadequate, and appropriate and new methodologies and technologies should be exploited to identify novel anti-HIV drug candidates in a time- and cost- effective manner.
