title: Synthesis and QSAR studies on thiazolidinones as anti-HIV agents.
abstract: Selected 4-thiazolidinone have been synthesized and tested as anti-HIV activity. The results of the in vitro tests showed that one of the compounds, 5, inhibited the enzyme at 0.204 microM concentration with minimal toxicity to MT-4 cell. Furthermore, the QSAR studies indicated the role of PMIZ, Ovality and Total energy content of the compounds in rationalizing the activity.
