Abstract

There is disclosed a structural genus of compounds, defined according to coordinates in three-dimensional space, that binds amino moieties on neighboring lysine residues in a tyrosine residue 29 pocket of the matrix protein component of the HIV preintegration complex (PIC), thereby preventing the PIC from binding to karyopherin .alpha. and preventing nuclear importation and integration of the HIV viral genome into the host cell DNA, thereby preventing viral infection.
