The (alkylamino)piperidine bis(heteroaryl)piperizines (AAP-BHAPs) are a new
class of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific inhibitors
which were identified by targeted screening of recombinant reverse
transcriptase (RT) enzymes carrying key nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance-conferring mutations and NNRTI-resistant
variants of HIV-1. Phenotypic profiling of the two most potent AAP-BHAPs,
U-95133 and U-104489, against in vitro-selected drug- resistant HIV-1
variants carrying the NNRTI resistance-conferring mutation (Tyr->Cys) at
position 181 of the HIV-1 RT revealed submicromolar 90% inhibitory
concentration estimates for these compounds. Moreover, U-104489
demonstrated potent activity against BHA- P-resistant HIV-1MF harboring the
Pro-236->Leu RT substitution and significantly suppressed the
replication of clinical isolates of HIV-1 resistant to both delavirdine
(BHAP U-90152T) and zidovudine. Biochemical and phenotypic characterization
of AAP-BHAPresistant HIV- 1IIIB variants revealed that high-level
resistance to the AAP-BHAPs was mediated by a Gly-190->Glu substitution
in RT, which had a deleterious effect on the integrity and enzymatic
activity of virion-associated RT heterodimers, as well as the replication
capacity of these resistant viruses.

(Alkylamino) piperidine bis(heteroaryl)piperizine analogs are potent, broad-spectrum nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors of drug- resistant isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and select for drug-resistant variants of HIV-1IIIB with reduced replication phenotypes
