Abstract:
There is disclosed a structural genus of compounds, defined according to coordinates in three-dimensional space, that bind amino moieties on neighboring residues in a tyrosine residue 29 pocket of the matrix protein component of the HIV-1 preintegration complex (PIC), thereby preventing the PIC from binding to karyopherin α and preventing nuclear importation and integration of the HIV-1 viral genome into the host cell DNA, thereby preventing viral infection. The compounds may be utilized alone or in combinations with known inhibitors for preventing or inhibiting HIV-1 infection.
