Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of arylpiperazinyl fluoroquinolones: a new class of anti-HIV agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Nov 1;9(21):3063-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00537-5.

Abstract

Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of a series of novel arylpiperazinyl fluoroquinolones are reported. In the SAR study, the aryl substituents on the piperazine nitrogen were found to play an important role for the anti-HIV-1 activity. A few of the compounds exhibited potent anti-HIV activity: IC50=0.06 microM in chronically infected cells.
