Background: Taking the well-known drug, Piroxicam as a lead compound, we designed and synthesized two series of 1,2-benzothiazines 1,1-dioxide derivatives to assay their ability in inhibition of HIV-1 replication in cell culture. Objective: In this study, we describe the synthesis, docking study and biological evaluation of 1,2-benzothiazines 1,1- dioxide derivatives. Results: Most of the new compounds were active in the cell-based anti-HIV-1 assay with EC50 < 50 M. Among them, compounds 7g was found to be the most active molecule. Docking study using 3OYA pdb code on the most active molecule 7g with EC50 values of 10 M showed a similar binding mode to the HIV integrase inhibitors. Conclusion: Since all the compounds showed no remarkable cytotoxicity (CC50> 500 M), the designed scaffold is promising structure for development of new anti-HIV-1 agents.

Background: Integrase enzyme is a validated drug target to discover novel structures as anti-HIV-1 agents. Objective: Novel series of thioimidazolyl diketo acid derivatives characterizing various substituents at N-1 and 2-thio positions of central ring were developed as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. Results: The obtained molecules were evaluated in the enzyme assay, displaying promising integrase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.9 to 7.7 M. The synthesized compounds were also tested for antiviral activity and cytotoxicity using HeLa cells infected by the single-cycle replicable HIV-1 NL4-3. Conclusion: The most potent compound was 18i with EC50=19 µM, IC50 0.9 µM and SI= 10.5. Docking studies indicated that the binding mode of the active molecule is well aligned with the known HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors with zinc binding groups often exhibit drawbacks like non-selectivity or toxic effects. Thus, there are continuous efforts to modify the currently available inhibitors or to discover new derivatives to overcome these problems. One approach is to synthesize new compounds with novel zinc binding groups. The present study describes the utilization of acyl thiourea functionality, known to possess the ability to complex with metals, to be a novel zinc binding group incorporated into the designed histone deacetylase inhibitors. N-adipoyl monoanilide thiourea (4) and N-pimeloyl monoanilide thiourea (5) have been synthesized and characterized successfully. They showed good cytotoxicity against cancer cells with low cytotoxicity against normal cells. Their binding mode to the active site of histone deacetylases have been studied by docking study.

Betulinic acid (BA) is a potent triterpene, which has shown promising potential in cancer and HIV-1 treatment. Here, we report a synthesis and biological evaluation of 17 new compounds, including BODIPY labelled analogues derived from BA. The analogues terminated by amino moiety showed increased cytotoxicity (e.g., BA had on CCRF-CEM IC50 > 50 μM, amine 3 IC50 0.21 and amine 14 IC50 0.29). The cell-cycle arrest was evaluated and did not show general features for all the tested compounds. A fluorescence microscopy study of six derivatives revealed that only 4 and 6 were detected in living cells. These compounds were colocalized with the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, indicating possible targets in these organelles. The study of anti-HIV-1 activity showed that 8, 10, 16, 17 and 18 have had IC50i > 10 μM. Only completely processed p24 CA was identified in the viruses formed in the presence of compounds 4 and 12. In the cases of 2, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17 and 18, we identified not fully processed p24 CA and p25 CA-SP1 protein. This observation suggests a similar mechanism of inhibition as described for bevirimat.
