A variety of analogues of 1-[4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl]-4-[3-(ethylamino)-2-pyridyl]piperazine hydrochloride (U-80493E) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT). Replacement of the substituted aryl moiety with various substituted indoles provided bis(heteroaryl)piperazines (BHAPs) that were 10-100-fold more potent than U-80493E. The pyridyl portion of the lead molecule was found to be very sensitive to modifications. Extensive preclinical evaluations of several of these compounds led to the selection of 1-[(5-methoxyindol-2-yl)carbonyl]-4-[3-(ethylamino)-2- pyridyl]piperazine methanesulfonate (U-87201E, atevirdine mesylate) for clinical evaluation.
