Abstract
A series of substituted carboxamides at the indole C7 position of the previously described 4-fluoro-substituted indole HIV-1 attachment inhibitor 1 was synthesized and the SAR delineated. Heteroaryl carboxamide inhibitors that exhibited pM potency in the primary cell-based assay against a pseudotype virus expressing a JRFL envelope were identified. The simple methyl amide analog 4 displayed a promising in vitro profile, with its favorable HLM stability and membrane permeability translating into favorable pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical species.
