title: Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of arylpiperazinyl fluoroquinolones: a new class of anti-HIV agents.
abstract: Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of a series of novel arylpiperazinyl fluoroquinolones are reported. In the SAR study, the aryl substituents on the piperazine nitrogen were found to play an important role for the anti-HIV-1 activity. A few of the compounds exhibited potent anti-HIV activity: IC50=0.06 microM in chronically infected cells.
