Previous studies have identified a series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (IZP) derivatives as potent allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase (ALLINIs) and virus infection in cell culture. However, IZPs were also found to be relatively potent activators of the pregnane-X receptor (PXR), raising the specter of induction of CYP-mediated drug disposition pathways. In an attempt to modify PXR activity without affecting anti-HIV-1 activity, rational structure-based design and modeling approaches were used. An X-ray cocrystal structure of (S,S)-1 in the PXR ligand binding domain (LBD) allowed an examination of the potential of rational structural modifications designed to abrogate PXR. The introduction of bulky basic amines at the C-8 position provided macrocyclic IZP derivatives that displayed potent HIV-1 inhibitory activity in cell culture with no detectable PXR transactivation at the highest concentration tested.
