Good oral absorption prediction on non-nucleoside benzothiadiazine dioxide human cytomegalovirus inhibitors using combined chromatographic and neuronal network techniques

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Apr 1;15(7):1919-21. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.01.081.

Abstract

The current drugs available against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) suffer from a number of shortcomings such as toxic side effect, poor bioavailability and/or risk for emergence of drug-resistance virus strains. Due to these limitations, the development of new drugs against HCMV is of great interest. Taking into account the therapeutic potential of benzothiadiazines dioxides (BTD) derivatives, it is most important to know their oral bioavailability because all the current clinical drugs are poorly absorbed. In this work, the utility of CODES neural networks and biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) in predicting pharmacokinetic properties has been used to estimate the oral absorption of BTD derivatives and their efficacy has been verified. The results indicate higher values for BTD derivatives than the currently licensed anti-viral agents.
