Anti-AIDS agents 73:: Structure-activity relationship study and asymmetric synthesis of 3-O-monomethylsuccinyl-betulinic acid derivatives

[摘要] 3-O-3'(or 2')-Methylsuccinyl-betulinic acid (MSB) derivatives were separated by using recycle HPLC. The structures of four isomers were assigned by NMR and asymmetric synthesis. 3-O-3'S-Methylsuccinyl-betulinic acid (3'S-MSB, 4) exhibited potent anti-HIV activity with an EC50 value of 0.0087 mu M and a TI value of 6.3 x 10(3), which is comparable to the data for bevirimat (DSB, PA-457), a current clinical trials drug that was also derived from betulinic acid. The anti-HIV potency of 4 was slightly better than that of AZT. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
