Design principles are delineated for non-nucleoside inhibitors for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (NNRTIs). Simultaneous optimization of binding affinity for wild-type RT, tolerance for viral mutations, and physical properties is pursued. Automated lead generation with the growing program BOMB, Monte Carlo simulations with free-energy perturbation theory for lead optimization, and property analysis with QikProp are featured. An initial 30 microM lead has been optimized rapidly to the 10 nM level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008958 Models, Molecular Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. Molecular Models,Model, Molecular,Molecular Model
D009010 Monte Carlo Method In statistics, a technique for numerically approximating the solution of a mathematical problem by studying the distribution of some random variable, often generated by a computer. The name alludes to the randomness characteristic of the games of chance played at the gambling casinos in Monte Carlo. (From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed, 1993) Method, Monte Carlo
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D015394 Molecular Structure The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds. Structure, Molecular,Molecular Structures,Structures, Molecular
