Pyrazolo-Piperidines Exhibit Dual Inhibition of CCR5/CXCR4 HIV Entry and Reverse Transcriptase.

چکیده
We report novel anti-HIV-1 agents with combined dual host-pathogen pharmacology. Lead compound 3, composed of a pyrazole-piperidine core, exhibits three concurrent mechanisms of action: (1) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibition, (2) CCR5-mediated M-tropic viral entry inhibition, and (3) CXCR4-based T-tropic viral entry inhibition that maintains native chemokine ligand binding. This discovery identifies important tool compounds for studying viral infectivity and prototype agents that block HIV-1 entry through dual chemokine receptor ligation.

A Small-molecule Inhibitor Directed against the Chemokine Receptor CXCR4 Prevents its Use as an HIV-1 Coreceptor
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is the major coreceptor used for cellular entry by T cell- tropic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 strains, whereas CCR5 is used by macrophage (M)-tropic strains. Here we show that a small-molecule inhibitor, ALX40-4C, inhibits HIV-1 envelope (Env)-mediated membrane fusion and viral entry directly at the level of coreceptor use. ALX40-4C inhibited HIV-1 use of t...
متن کاملCXCR-4 is expressed by primary macrophages and supports CCR5-independent infection by dual-tropic but not T-tropic isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Primary macrophages are infected by macrophage (M)-tropic but not T-cell line (T)-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains, and CCR5 and CXCR-4 are the principal cofactors utilized for CD4-mediated entry by M-tropic and T-tropic isolates, respectively. Macrophages from individuals homozygous for an inactivating mutation of CCR5 are resistant to prototype M-tropic strains that ...
متن کاملCCR5 antagonists: host-targeted antivirals for the treatment of HIV infection.
The human chemokine receptors, CCR5 and CXCR4, are potential host targets for exogenous, small-molecule antagonists for the inhibition of HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 strains can be categorised by co-receptor tropism - their ability to utilise CCR5 (CCR5-tropic), CXCR4 (CXCR4-tropic) or both (dual-tropic) as a co-receptor for entry into susceptible cells. CCR5 may be the more suitable co-receptor tar...
متن کاملNovel reporter T-cell line highly susceptible to both CCR5- and CXCR4-using human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and its application to drug susceptibility tests.
CCR5-using (R5) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a major viral population that is transmitted by sexual intercourse and that replicates in infected individuals during the asymptomatic stage of HIV-1 infection, suggesting that agents effective against R5 HIV-1 can be expected to prevent viral transmission and delay disease progression. However, R5 HIV-1 is unable to replicate in hu...
متن کاملPotent and Broad Inhibition of HIV-1 by a Peptide from the gp41 Heptad Repeat-2 Domain Conjugated to the CXCR4 Amino Terminus
HIV-1 entry can be inhibited by soluble peptides from the gp41 heptad repeat-2 (HR2) domain that interfere with formation of the 6-helix bundle during fusion. Inhibition has also been seen when these peptides are conjugated to anchoring molecules and over-expressed on the cell surface. We hypothesized that potent anti-HIV activity could be achieved if a 34 amino acid peptide from HR2 (C34) were...
