Two series of sulfur-containing diarylbenzopyrimidines are designed by the fragment combination of a thioacetamide with our previous disclosed DABP 3 and further oxidation. The best compound 6e with a sulfonyl scaffold displayed EC₅₀ values of 0.0356 μmol/L against WT and 0.0228 μmol/L against HIV K103N mutant strain. More pronounced, it had a lower cytotoxicity (CC₅₀=99.6 μmol/L), higher selectivity index (SI_WT=2799, SI_K103N=4375) and better calculated logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (cLogP) than the lead compound 3. Molecular docking and dynamics provided the binding modes of these compounds with reverse transcriptase, explaining their activity. Collectively, the new compounds could be candidates for anti-HIV drug discovery.
