Abstract
Crystal structure of HIV-RT in complex with a DNA template:primer and a dTTP leads us to design and synthesize a new class of nucleoside analog inhibitors containing a branched 3′-group against HIV-RT. An in vitro primer extension assay indicates that three out of five compounds are effective HIV-RT inhibitors.
