AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers developed new indane derivatives to find a CCR5 antagonist that can block HIV-1 entry.
  • One of these compounds, 22a (INCB9471), showed strong binding to CCR5 and effectively inhibited HIV-1, along with being safe for use.
  • INCB9471 is currently undergoing clinical trials in humans.

Article Abstract

To identify a CCR5 antagonist as an HIV-1 entry inhibitor, we designed a novel series of indane derivatives based on conformational considerations. Modification on the indane ring led to the discovery of compound 22a (INCB9471) that exhibited high affinity for CCR5, potent anti-HIV-1 activity, high receptor selectivity, excellent oral bioavailability, and a tolerated safety profile. INCB9471 has entered human clinical trials.
