N2 - Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) have been extensively studied as drugs targeting HIV RT. However, the practice or use of approved NRTIs lacking the 3ʹ-hydroxy group often promotes frequent HIV mutations and generates drug-resistance. Here, we describe a novel NRTI with 2′-β-methylselenyl modification. We found that this modification inhibited the DNA elongation reaction by HIV-1 RT despite having a 3′-hydroxy group. Moreover, the conformation of this nucleoside analog is controlled at C3′-endo, a conformation that resists excision from the elongating DNA by HIV RT. Accordingly, the designed analogs exhibited activity against both wild-type HIV and multidrug-resistant HIV mutants.
