In this report,a series of novel piperidine-substituted thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed to explore the hydrophobic channel of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors binding pocket (NNIBP) by incorporating an aromatic moiety to the left wing of the lead K-5a2.The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-HIV potency in MT-4 cells and inhibitory activity to HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT).Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited broad-spectrum activity toward wild-type and a wide range of HIV-1 strains carrying single non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI)-resistant mutations.Especially,compound 26 exhibited the most potent activity against wild-type and a panel of single mutations (L100I,K103N,Y181C,Y188L and E138K) with an EC50 ranging from 6.02 to 23.9 nmol/L,which were comparable to those of etravirine (ETR).Moreover,the RT inhibition activity,preliminary structure-activity relationship and molecular docking were also investigated.Furthermore,26 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles and with a bioavailability of 33.8%.Taken together,the results could provide valuable insights for further optimization and compound 26 holds great promise as a potential drug candidate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
