Structure-activity relationships in platelet-activating factor. Part 14: synthesis and biological evaluation of piperazine derivatives with dual anti-PAF and anti-HIV-1 activity

Bioorg Med Chem. 2006 Dec 1;14(23):7999-8013. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2006.07.043.

Abstract

As HIV-associated dementia prevalence has risen with the lifespan of HIV-infected individuals, there is an important need for antiretroviral and anti-inflammatory drugs targeting the central nervous system. Platelet-activating factor, a mediator of inflammation, is an HIV-induced neurotoxin secreted in the infected brain. In this work, we developed piperazine derivatives bearing a heterocyclic moiety as PAF-antagonists and HIV-1 replication inhibitors with micromolar potency.
