The molecule was purified by solvent extraction, mediumpressure and high pressure reverse phase chromatography and finally by HPLCgel filtration. The pure product was analyzed by mass spectroscopy and was identified as actinonin, a knownpseudopeptide antibiotic. The Ki was determined as 1.4 im and this value was confirmed using pure synthetic actinonin. 1757

The potent HIV inhibitors which emerged, compounds 5a, 16a, and 17b, were all derivatives of betulinic acid (3beta-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid). No activity was found against HIV-2 strain ROD. Compound 5a showed no inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity with poly(C).oligo(dG) as template/primer, nor did it inhibit HIV-1 protease. Additional mechanistic studies revealed that this class of compounds interfere with HIV-1 entry in the cells at a postbinding step.

Halogenation of unsaturated N-ally1 peptide precursors in dichloromethane occurs with participation of a neighboring amide group and leads to halohydrins instead of the expected dihalides. Use of X2/ Lii HOAc conditions gives the desired dihalogenated derivatives. These functionalized substrate analogs are not inhibitors of the enzyme. However, Boc-A1a-Phe-N-(2,3-dhalogenopropyl)-Gly-Ile-Val-OMe (halogen= Br and Cl) inhibit the cytopathic effect induced by HIV-l in CEM cell cultures and the reverse transcriptase activity in cell culture supematants. The corresponding unsaturated N-ally1 precursor also displays an antiviral effect.

We demonstrate that the introduction of a shifty amino acid related to Cys instead of Cys-Val and a tetrahydroisoquinoline carboxylic acid (TIC) instead of Phe lead to potent inhibitors of FTase on isolated enzyme or on cell based tests.

The peptide CysValTicMet is a potent FTase inhibitor, but its degradation by amino-peptidases and its only weak internalization into cells make it a bad candidate for a future cancer drug. We have prepared improved CysValTicMet analogues using several approaches: (i) amino terminal modifications or introduction of pseudopeptides or non-natural amino acids to increase proteolytic stability, (ii) introduction of hydrophobic aliphatic chains to increase cell internalization and metabolic stability and (iii) transformation into prodrugs. Additionally, we have carried out comparative conformational analysis studies by molecular dynamics of some of the here presented peptides and of our recently described peptidomimetic inhibitors of FTase.
