title: Synthesis of a new hydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere Phe psi [CH2CH (OH)]Phe as HIV-1 protease inhibitor.
abstract: A new type of pseudopeptide isostere exampled by Phe psi[CH2CH(OH)]Phe was synthesized from phenylalanine. The HIV protease inhibitory activity (IC50) of Noa-His-Phe psi[CH2CH(OH)]Phe-Ile-Amp was 0.8 pmol.L-1.
