- W4310542899 abstract "Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) fusion is mediated by glycoprotein-41, a protein that has not been widely exploited as a drug target. Small molecules directed at the gp41 ectodomain have proved to be poorly drug-like, having moderate efficacy, high hydrophobicity and/or high molecular weight. We recently investigated conversion of a fairly potent hydrophobic inhibitor into a covalent binder, by modifying it to react with a lysine residue on the protein. We demonstrated a 10-fold improvement in antiviral efficacy. Here, we continue this study, utilizing instead molecules with better inherent drug-like properties. Molecules possessing low to no antiviral activity as equilibrium binders were converted into µM inhibitors upon addition of an electrophilic warhead in the form of a sulfotetrafluorophenyl (STP) activated ester. We confirmed specificity for gp41 and for entry. The small size of the inhibitors described here offers an opportunity to expand their reach into neighboring pockets while retaining drug-likeness. STP esterification of equilibrium binders is a promising avenue to explore for inhibiting HIV-1 entry. Many gp41 targeting molecules studied over the years possess carboxylic acid groups which can be easily converted into the corresponding STP ester. It may be worth the effort to evaluate a library of such inhibitors as a way forward to small molecule inhibition of fusion of HIV and possibly other enveloped viruses." @default.
