We have recently identified
8-difluoromethoxy-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-7-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (K-12) as a potent and selective inhibitor of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcription. In the search for
more effective derivatives and their mode of action, we have found
7-(3,4-dehydro-4-phenyl-1-piperidinyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-fluoro-1-methyl-8-trifluoromethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (K-37) and
8-difluoromethoxy-1,4-dihydro-6-fluoro-7-(3,4-dehydro-4-phenyl-1-piperidinyl)1-[4,(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methylphenyl]-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (K-38) to be more potent inhibitors of HIV-1 replication than
K-12. The EC50 values of K-37 and K-38 for
HIV-1IIIB were 27 and 3.8 nM in peripheral
blood mononuclear cells, respectively. These values were approximately
3- and 24-fold lower than the EC50 of K-12. K-38 was also a
more potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in chronically infected
cells, such as tumor necrosis factor
-stimulated OM-10.1 cells. K-37
and K-38 proved to be more cytotoxic than K-12 for a variety of cell
lines as well as peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These
compounds were more inhibitory of Tat-induced HIV-1 long terminal
repeat-driven gene expression than K-12, which suggests that their
mechanism of action is attributable in part to the inhibition of Tat
function. Interestingly, K-37 and K-38 could suppress the production of
tumor necrosis factor
and interleukin 6 in
phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells and
the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in tumor necrosis
factor
-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells at their
nontoxic concentrations. In contrast, another K-12 derivative,
1,4-dihydro-8-dimethylaminomethyl-6-fluoro-7-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperadinyl]-1-methyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (K-42), had anti-HIV-1 activity and cytotoxicity profiles similar
to those of K-12, but K-42 scarcely inhibited the cytokine production
and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression.
