  • Patent number: 7365090
    Abstract: This invention is in the area of phenylindoles that are useful for the treatment of HIV infection, and, in particular, phenylindoles that exhibit significant activity against resistant strains of HIV. The phenylindoles have at least two substituents other than hydrogen on the benzo ring of the indole function, preferably at the 4? and 5?, 5? and 6? or the 5? and 7? positions, optionally in combination with disubstitution at positions 3? and 5? on the phenyl ring of the compound, and carboxamide containing moieties at position-2 on the indole group of the compound. Methyl is a preferred group for substitution on the phenyl ring. Preferred substituents for the benzo ring of the indole function include but are not limited to chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine, CF3, methoxy, CN, and NO2.

  • Publication number: 20060106044
    Abstract: A method for inhibiting sexual transmission of HIV comprising topically applying to the skin or epithelial tissue of a human a composition comprising a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (“NNRTI”) that is able to inhibit viral replication for periods exceeding 12, 24, or even 36 days, at concentrations below even 10 uM. In one embodiment the NNRTI is a dihydro-alkyloxy-benzyl-oxopyrimidine (DABO).

  • Publication number: 20040092539
    Abstract: The invention concerns novel substituted 6-benzyl-4-oxopyrimnidines of general formula (A). These compounds inhibit reverse transcriptase encoded by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and find their application in the prevention and treatment of HIV infection and the treatment of the resulting acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and a method of use of the present compounds and other agents for the treatment of AIDS and viral infection by HIV are also envisaged.
