Abstract: A novel series of HIV protease inhibitors containing cyclic P1/P2 scaffolds has been synthesized and evaluated for biological activity. The trans 3,5-dibenzyl-2-oxo pyrrolidinone ring system resulted in a 50 pM enzyme inhibitor against HIV protease in vitro when combined with an indanolamine derived P'-backbone. This compound also shows comparable activity to currently marketed drugs in the MT-4 cell-based antiviral assay.
