Abstract

A small family of S-DABO Cytosine analogs (S-DABOCs) has been synthesized and biologically evaluated as HIV-1 Inhibitor both on wild type (wt) and drug-resistant mutants leading to the identification of an interesting compound (5d). Molecular modeling studies have been finally performed in order to rationalize the results.
