Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of GS-9148 (2'-Fd4AP), a novel nucleoside phosphonate HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
2008
Abstract GS-9148 (2′-Fd4AP, 4 ) has been identified as a nucleoside phosphonate reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor with activity against wild-type HIV (EC 50 = 12 μM). Unlike many clinical RT inhibitors, relevant reverse transcriptase mutants (M184V, K65R, 6-TAMs) maintain a susceptibility to 2′-Fd4AP that is similar to wild-type virus. The 2′-fluorine group was rationally designed into the molecule to improve the selectivity profile and in preliminary studies using HepG2 cells, compound 4 showed no measurable effect on mitochondrial DNA content indicating a low potential for mitochondrial toxicity.
