A series of readily accessible 4-arylimino-3-hydroxybutanoic acids have been prepared and evaluated as potential HIV-1 Integrase inhibitors. None of the ligands exhibited significant toxicity against human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells, while five of them showed activity against HIV-1 integrase - the most active (6c) with an IC value of 3.5 μM. In silico docking studies indicate the capacity of ligand 6c to interact with several amino acid residues and the two Mg cations in the HIV-1 integrase receptor cavity.
