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.

Replacement of the carbamoyl residue (R) in reference compound 2 by larger residues (e.g.72) strongly affected Y1R affinity. In case of very bulky carbamoyl substituents (e.g.78), an inverted binding mode was suggested by induced-fit docking.

The effect of HIV-1 on a human’s immune system cannot be ignored. This is the virus that reduces the power of the immune system to fight against any disease. Of course, many anti-HIV drugs are available, and many computational studies have been done to find out their mechanism of action, but the computational study regarding the chemistry behind the mechanism of action was not done yet. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to clarify the chemistry behind the mechanism of action of commercially available anti-HIV drugs. The drugs taken in the presented study were Entry Inhibitors (EIs) and Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. First, literature data was evaluated computationally to ensure the reliability of the software used for the presented study. It was found that interaction-based experimental results and computationally evaluated results of the literature data were the same. After that, by following the same procedure, a docking study was done on the drugs taken in the current study. In addition, the residues involved in the interactions of EIs and NNRTIs with their receptors were studied to determine the chemistry that acts behind the action of both. It was found that EIs and NNRTIs work differently. It was also predicted that the derivatization of both drugs could make them more effective and active. Therefore, the presented study will be very helpful in the field of medicinal science.
