Poor metabolic stability of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) capsid (CA) inhibitor PF-74 is a major concern in its development toward clinical use. To improve on the metabolic stability, we employed a novel multistep computationally driven workflow, which facilitated the rapid design of improved PF-74 analogs in an efficient manner. Using this workflow, we designed three compounds that interact specifically with the CA interprotomer pocket, inhibit HIV-1 infection, and demonstrate enantiomeric preference. Moreover, using this workflow, we were able to increase the metabolic stability 204-fold in comparison to PF-74 in only three analog steps. These results demonstrate our ability to rapidly design CA compounds using a novel computational workflow that has improved metabolic stability over the parental compound. This workflow can be further applied to the redesign of PF-74 and other promising inhibitors with a stability shortfall.
