Crystal structures of ligand-bound G-protein-coupled receptors provide tangible templates for rationally designing molecular probes. Herein, we report the structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological investigations of bivalent ligands targeting putative mu opioid receptor C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (MOR-CCR5) heterodimers. The bivalent ligand VZMC013 possessed nanomolar level binding affinities for both the MOR and CCR5, inhibited CCL5-stimulated calcium mobilization, and remarkably improved anti-HIV-1BaL activity over previously reported bivalent ligands. VZMC013 inhibited viral infection in TZM-bl cells coexpressing CCR5 and MOR to a greater degree than cells expressing CCR5 alone. Furthermore, VZMC013 blocked human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 entry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cells in a concentration-dependent manner and inhibited opioid-accelerated HIV-1 entry more effectively in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated PBMC cells than in the absence of opioids. A three-dimensional molecular model of VZMC013 binding to the MOR-CCR5 heterodimer complex is constructed to elucidate its mechanism of action. VZMC013 is a potent chemical probe targeting MOR-CCR5 heterodimers and may serve as a pharmacological agent to inhibit opioid-exacerbated HIV-1 entry.

The asymmetric synthesis of Maraviroc (UK-427,857), a chemochine receptor 5 (CCR-5) receptor antagonist, based on an expeditious organocatalytic enantioselective assembly of the chiral βamino aldehyde key fragment is presented. The reactions were performed on a gram-scale and allow for the rapid construction of new Maraviroc analogues.

A bulk enabling synthesis of the CCR-5 receptor antagonist, Maraviroc (UK-427,857) (1), is presented. Synthesis of the three key fragments, β-amino ester 3,4,4-difluorohexanecarboxylic acid (2), and 1,3,4-triazole-substituted tropane fragment 4 are described. Coupling strategies for these fragments are discussed and described, including synthetic challenges, protection strategies, impurity generation, and final scale-up of the developed route to 1.
