Structural-Functional Analysis of 2,1,3-Benzoxadiazoles and Their N-oxides As HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase is one of the most attractive targets for the development of anti-HIV-1 inhibitors. The capacity of a series of 2,1,3-benzoxadiazoles (benzofurazans) and their N-oxides (benzofuroxans) selected using the PASS software to inhibit the catalytic activity of HIV-1 integrase was studied in the present work. Only the nitro-derivatives of these compounds were found to display inhibitory activity.

Synthesis, antifungal activity and QSAR study of 2-arylhydroxynitroindoles.

A series of 2-arylhydroxynitroindoles were prepared and tested for antifungal activity in vitro. The preliminary bioassays indicated that some compounds are comparable to the commercial fungicide (triadimefon). To further explore the structure-activity relationships, the data set of the seventeen structures and their quantitative values of antifungal activities were used for QSAR modeling.
