The persistence of HIV-1 latent reservoir creates the major obstacle toward an HIV-1 cure. The “shock and kill” strategy aims to reverse HIV-1 proviral latency using latency-reversing agents (LRAs), thus boosting immune recognition and clearance to residual infected cells. Unfortunately, to date, none of these tested LRA candidates has been demonstrated effectiveness and/or safety in reactivation HIV-1 latency. The discovery and development of effective, safe and affordable LRA candidates are urgently needed for creating an HIV-1 functional cure. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of small-mol. phenoxyacetic acid derivatives based on the resveratrol scaffold and found one of them, named 5, 7-dimethoxy-2-(5-(methoxymethyl) furan-2-yl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (Q205), effectively reactivated latent HIV-1 in latent HIV-1-infected cells without a corresponding increase in induction of potentially damaging cytokines. The mol. mechanism of Q205 is shown to increase the phosphorylation of the CDK9 T-loop at position Thr186, dissociate pos. transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) from BRD4, and promote the Tat-mediated HIV-1 transcription and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) C-terminal domain (CTD) on Ser (CTD-Ser2P) to bind to the HIV-1 promoter. This study provides a unique insight into resveratrol modified derivatives as promising leads for preclin. LRAs, which in turn may help toward inhibitor design and chem. optimization for improving HIV-1 shock-and kill-based efforts. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Amino-4,6-dimethoxybenzamide (cas: 63920-73-0Computed Properties of C9H12N2O3).
2-Amino-4,6-dimethoxybenzamide (cas: 63920-73-0) belongs to amides. Amides include many other important biological compounds, as well as many drugs like paracetamol, penicillin and LSD. Low-molecular-weight amides, such as dimethylformamide, are common solvents. Amides can be recrystallised from large quantities of water, ethanol, ethanol/ether, aqueous ethanol, chloroform/toluene, chloroform or acetic acid. The likely impurities are the parent acids or the alkyl esters from which they have been made. The former can be removed by thorough washing with aqueous ammonia followed by recrystallisation, whereas elimination of the latter is by trituration or recrystallisation from an organic solvent.Computed Properties of C9H12N2O3
