A first series of novel NH and N-alkyl-substituted cage dimeric 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines 3a-f has been synthesized and evaluated as HIV-1 protease inhibitors in in vitro assays. While the NH and N-methyl derivatives 3a,b,e,f were almost inactive with IC(50) values of about 200 microM, the N-Benzyl compounds exhibited stronger activity with an IC(50) value of 16.2 microM for the presently best compound 3c. The type of HIV-1 protease inhibition of these novel inhibitors was characterized as competitive. With the increase of observed activity from NH and N-methyl derivatives to N-benzyl compounds, respectively, the binding mode may correspond to that of cyclic and azacyclic ureas showing hydrophobic interactions of the four aromatic residues to the S1/S1' and S2/S2' regions of HIV-1 protease.
