A series of benzoyl diarylamine/ether derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their activity against human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) in MT ‐4 cells. Three compounds ( 3b , 5a, and 6a1 ) exhibited moderate activities against wild‐type (wt) HIV ‐1 with EC 50 values ranging from 11 to 56 μ m . Among them, compound 5a was the most potent inhibitor with a novel chemical skeleton, affording a new lead compound for further molecular optimization. An enzyme assay was also implemented to confirm the binding target of the active compounds represented by 6a1 . Molecular simulation studies on compound 5a , 6a1, and 7a4 were carried out to understand their binding mode with wt HIV ‐1 reverse transcriptase ( RT ) and provided useful information for further rational design of NNRTI s.
