title: Amide-containing diketoacids as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors: synthesis, structure-activity relationship analysis, and biological activity.
abstract: HIV-1 integrase, which catalyzes the integration of the viral genome into the cellular chromosome, is an essential enzyme for retroviral replication, and represents an attractive and validated target in the development of therapeutics against AIDS. In this paper, 17 amide-containing novel diketoacids were designed and synthesized, and their ability to inhibit HIV-1 integrase was tested. The structure-activity relationships were also analyzed.
