Abstract:
Thirteen nitrogen-containing derivatives of 3,11-dioxo-olean-12-en-30-oic acid were synthesised by introducing various amino acids and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups at the 30-carboxyl group, starting from 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid. Among the 13 derivatives, 10 exhibited inhibitory activity against HIV-1 PR, with IC50 values ranging from 0.19 to 0.94 mM. Notably, derivatives 2, 3 and 5 displayed relatively moderate inhibitory activity, with IC50 values below 0.24 mM. Molecular docking studies provided further insights into the interaction between derivatives (2, 3 and 5) and the active sites of HIV-1 PR. The results revealed favourable hydrophobic-hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, with docking scores ranging from -6.22 to -7.00 and glide emodel values from -62.9 to -48.6 (kcal/mol). These findings underscore the potential of derivatives 2, 3 and 5 as promising candidates for the development of HIV-1 PR inhibitors.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
