Abstract

Aryl hydroxylamine derivs. have been synthesized that are some of the most potent inhibitors of hCMV protease prepd. to date (IC50 14-60 nM). Mass spectrometry studies indicate that oxazinone derived hydroxylamines inhibit the enzyme by acylation of Ser132 whereas non-oxazinone derived hydroxylamines appear to inhibit via formation of a sulfinanilide at Cys138.
