Abstract

3-O-Acyl-betulin and -dihydrobetulin derivatives were prepared and evaluated for anti-HIV activity. 3-O-Glutaryl-dihydrobetulin (17) demonstrated extremely potent anti-HIV activity with an EC(50) value of 2 x 10(-5) microM and a TI value of 1.12 x 10(6). 3-O-(3',3'-Dimethylsuccinyl)- and 3-O-(3',3'-dimethylglutaryl)-dihydrobetulins (15, 16) were also potent anti-HIV compounds with EC(50) values of 0.0017 and 0.0013 microM, respectively, and TI values of 16,160 and 19,530, respectively.
