Background HAART made a major impact on the morbidity of HIV-1-infected individuals and significantly extended their survival. The emergence of multi-drug-resistant viruses (HIV-1MDR) is still one of the major concerns. Continuous efforts are required to develop more potent and safer therapeutics with high genetic barrier.

Summary GRL-1388 and -1398, containing a novel structure-based designed ligand, were comparably or more potent compared to DRV. Although GRL-1398 had moderate PDI activity as compared to DRV, GRL-1398 exhibited more potent anti-HIV activity against DRV- resistant HIV variants.
Conclusions GRL-1398 has activity against protease’s enzymatic activity and dimerization activity with high genetic barrier. It is warranted that the compounds, especially GRL-1398, be further studied as potential therapeutics for HIVwt and HIV-1MDR infection.
