Abstract
This year we published the "Design, Synthesis and X-Ray Structural Studies of Potent HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors Containing C-4 Substituted Tricyclic Hexahydro-Furofuran Derivatives as P2 Ligands" (ChemMedChem, May 2022). We also demonstrated "Fluorine Modifications Contribute to Potent Antiviral Activity against Highly Drug-Resistant HIV-1 and Favorable Blood-Brain Barrier Penetration Property of Novel Central Nervous System-Targeting HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors In Vitro". These results strongly suggest that GRL-08513 and GRL-08613 have favorable features for patients infected with wild-type/multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strains and might serve as candidates for a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for HAND and other CNS complications.
