Abstract

Twenty-four 4-hydroxypyrone derivatives were synthesized with a facile synthetic method to develop novel HIV Protease Inhibitors. Most of them were shown to display good Antiviral activities in SIV-infected CEM cells. The introduction of alpha-naphthylmethyl group to C-6 of 5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones led to an effective Antiviral compound that showed an EC(50) value at 1.7 microM with a therapeutic index of 46.
