We identified UIC-94003, a nonpeptidic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitor (PI), containing 3(R),3a(S),6a(R)-bis-tetrahydrofuranyl urethane (bis-THF) and a sulfonamide isostere, which is extremely potent against a wide spectrum of HIV (50% inhibitory concentration, 0.0003 to 0.0005 microM). UIC-94003 was also potent against multi-PI-resistant HIV-1 strains isolated from patients who had no response to any existing antiviral regimens after having received a variety of antiviral agents (50% inhibitory concentration, 0.0005 to 0.0055 microM). Upon selection of HIV-1 in the presence of UIC-94003, mutants carrying a novel active-site mutation, A28S, in the presence of L10F, M46I, I50V, A71V, and N88D appeared. Modeling analysis revealed that the close contact of UIC-94003 with the main chains of the protease active-site amino acids (Asp29 and Asp30) differed from that of other PIs and may be important for its potency and wide-spectrum activity against a variety of drug-resistant HIV-1 variants. Thus, introduction of inhibitor interactions with the main chains of key amino acids and seeking a unique inhibitor-enzyme contact profile should provide a framework for developing novel PIs for treating patients harboring multi-PI-resistant HIV-1.
