Reaction Kinetics Direct a Rational Synthesis of an HIV-1 Inactivator of Nucleocapsid Protein 7 and Provide Mechanistic Insight into Cellular Metabolism and Antiviral Activity
2018
: Mercaptobenzamide thioester SAMT-247 is a non-toxic, mutation-resistant HIV-1 maturation inhibitor with a unique mechanism of antiviral activity. NMR spectroscopic analyses of model reactions that mimic the cellular environment answered fundamental questions about the antiviral mechanism and inspired a high-yielding (64 % overall), scalable (75 mmol), and cost-effective ($4 mmol-1 ) three-step synthesis that will enable additional preclinical evaluation.
