Abstract: A series of macrocyclic dilactams containing a disulphide bridge has been synthesized by the condensation of 2,2'-dithiodibenzoyl chloride with diamines. These compounds have been evaluated for their ability to inhibit reverse transcriptase (RT) of the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 (IIIB) and HIV-2 (ROD) in acutely infected MT-4 cells. The anti-HIV activity of these compounds depends on the ring size and also on the diamino counterpart. The dilactams with 12-membered rings 1 and 5 were found to be the most potent. The active analogues 1 and 5 inhibit the replication of HIV-1 (IIIB) and HIV-2 (ROD) with an EC50 between 1.2 to 4.4 μg/mL. The dilactam 7 shows comparable activity in C8166 cells.
