Novel cyclourethane-derived HIV protease inhibitors: a ring-closing olefin metathesis based strategy.
A series of novel macrocyclic urethanes incorporating a (R)-hydroxyethylamine isostere was designed and synthesized. Ring size and substituent efffects have been investigated. Cyclourethanes containing 14- to 16-membered rings exhibited low nanomolar inhibitory potencies against HIV-1 protease.
