Antimalarial Activity Of 2,4-Diaminopyrimidines, J. Morgan, R. Haritakul, Paul A. Keller

Paul Keller

A series of 2,4- and 4,6-diaminopyrimidines were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activity. Of the 12 compounds tested 7 showed reasonable activity with 1 having a sub-micromolar IC50.


Control Of Hiv Through The Inhibition Of Hiv-1 Integrase: A Medicinal Chemistry Perspective, Christopher Gordon, R. Griffith, Paul A. Keller Aug 2010

Control Of Hiv Through The Inhibition Of Hiv-1 Integrase: A Medicinal Chemistry Perspective, Christopher Gordon, R. Griffith, Paul A. Keller

Paul Keller

This article reviews the current status of classes of HIV-1 integrase enzyme inhibitors. These classes include peptide-based inhibitors, natural products, polyhydroxylated aromatics, diketo acids, naphthyridines, and sulfonated compounds including sulfonic acids. Discussions of structure activity relationships are presented and include the current overview of the structure-based model, suitable for the further design and development. To date, the advances in the medicinal chemistry of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors have relied mostly on ligand-based designs leading to most displaying similar binding interactions within the active site or at the dimer interface. This paves the way for single enzyme mutations rendering entire compound classes …
