title: Synthesis and anti-HIV activities of urea-PETT analogs belonging to a new class of potent non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
abstract: A series of potent specific HIV-1 RT inhibitory compounds is described. The compounds are urea analogs of PETT (PhenylEthylThiazoleThiourea) derivatives and the series includes derivatives with an ethyl linker (1-6) and conformationally restricted analogs (7-13). The antiviral activity is determined both at the RT level and in cell culture on both native and mutant forms of HIV-1. Many compounds display activity in the nM range against wt-RT.
