Picomolar inhibitor of reverse transcriptase featuring significantly improved metabolic stability
Considering the undesirable metabolic stability of our recently identified NNRTI 5 (t1/2 = 96 min) in human liver microsomes, we directed our efforts to improve its metabolic stability by introducing a new favorable hydroxymethyl side chain to the C-5 ...

Current state-of-the-art in preclinical and clinical development of novel non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
In spite of the tremendous advance in our understanding of the HIV-1 life cycle and of the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis, it is still not possible to fully control the HIV-1 infection for long periods of time, not to mention eradicate ...

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Diarylpyridines and Diarylanilines as Potent Non-nucleoside HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors [PDF]
Based on the structures and activities of our previously identified non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), we designed and synthesized two sets of derivatives, diarylpyridines (A) and diarylanilines (B), and tested their anti-HIV-1 ...

Introducing Catastrophe-QSAR. Application on Modeling Molecular Mechanisms of Pyridinone Derivative-Type HIV Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors [PDF]
The classical method of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) is enriched using non-linear models, as Thom’s polynomials allow either uni- or bi-variate structural parameters. In this context, catastrophe QSAR algorithms are applied to the

Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Evaluations of Novel 4-Substituted 1,5-Diarylanilines as Potent HIV-1 Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) Drug Candidates [PDF]
Twenty-one new 4-substituted diarylaniline compounds (DAANs) (Scheme 2, series 13, 14, and 15) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against wild-type and drug resistant HIV-1 viral strains.

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) involves combinations of drugs to achieve maximal virological response and reduce the potential for the emergence of antiviral resistance. There are two broad classes of reverse transcriptase inhibitors, the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and nonnucleoside reverse ...

Novel Deep Learning Approach to Derive Cytokeratin Expression and Epithelium Segmentation from DAPI [PDF]
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are state of the art for image synthesis. Here, we present dapi2ck, a novel GAN-based approach to synthesize cytokeratin (CK) staining from immunofluorescent (IF) DAPI staining of nuclei in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) images.

Optimization of the Antiviral Potency and Lipophilicity of Halogenated 2,6-Diarylpyridinamines as a Novel Class of HIV-1 NNRTIS [PDF]
Nineteen new halogenated diarylpyridinamine (DAPA) analogues (6a-n and 8a-e) modified on the phenoxy C-ring were synthesized and evaluated for anti-HIV activity and certain drug-like properties. Ten compounds showed high anti-HIV activity (EC50 0.3, LLE

Diarylaniline Derivatives as a Distinct Class of HIV-1 Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors [PDF]
By using structure-based drug design and isosteric replacement, diarylaniline and 1,5-diarylbenzene-1,2-diamine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated against wild type HIV-1 and drug-resistant viral strains, resulting in the discovery of ...
