Abstract

Disclosed are cyclosporin analogs having amino acid residue substitutions at positions 1, 3, or 7 of the cyclosporin peptide backbone. Also disclosed are conjugates of these cyclosporin analogs in which an HIV protease inhibitor moiety is conjugated to the position-7 amino acid residue of the cyclosporin. These compounds simultaneously bind to and inhibit cyclophilin and HIV protease. The compounds have good bioavailability and potent HIV inhibitory activity. They are useful in the treatment and prevention of HIV-mediated disorders, including AIDS.
