Abstract

We herein report a new compound: 10-chloromethyl-11-demethyl-12-oxo-calanolide A (20, EC(50) = 7.4 nM, SI = 1417), which demonstrates a druggable profile with 32.7% oral bioavailability in rat, tolerated oral single dose toxicity in mice, and especially the feature of highly efficient suppression of the wild-type HIV-1 and Y181C mutant HIV-1 at an EC(50) = 7.4 nM and EC(50) = 0.46 nM, respectively.
