Novel dihydroalkoxybenzyloxopyrimidine (S-DABO) derivatives targeting the non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI) binding site of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) have been synthesized using a novel computer model for the NNI binding pocket and tested for their RT inhibitory activity in cell-free assays using purified recombinant HIV RT as well as for their anti-HIV activity in HTL VIIIB-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our computational approach allowed the identification of several ligand derivatization sites for the generation of more potent S-DABO derivatives. Our lead S-DABO derivative, 5-isopropyl-2-[(methylthiomethyl)thio]-6-(benzyl)-pyrimidin-4-(1H)-one (compound 3), elicited potent anti-HIV activity with an IC50 value of less than 1nM for inhibition of HIV replication without any evidence of cytotoxicity and an unprecedented selectivity index of > 100,000.

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D011744 Pyrimidinones Heterocyclic compounds known as 2-pyrimidones (or 2-hydroxypyrimidines) and 4-pyrimidones (or 4-hydroxypyrimidines) with the general formula C4H4N2O. Pyrimidinone,Pyrimidone,Pyrimidones
D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.
