The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is a global health challenge that creates an urgent need to develop new therapeutic agents. In this work, a new group of quinazolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized and evaluated their anti-HIV activity. The antiviral assay revealed that some analogues inhibited HIV replication in the cell culture. A docking study using the later crystallographic data available for PFV integrase including its complexes with Mg2+ and dolutegravir, showed that the designed compounds bind into the active site of integrase enzyme such that both carbonyl groups chelate Mg2+ ions. Interestingly, all of the synthesized compounds were found to present no significant cytotoxicity at a concentration of 100 μM. According to the anti-HIV evaluation results, the compound 10f was found as the most active with the inhibition rate of 38%. Therefore, these compounds can provide a very good basis for the development of new anti-HIV agents.
