Abstract

A series of β-carboline derivatives were synthesized by utilizing aromatization and chemoselective alkylation method recently reported from our laboratory. Synthesized derivatives were evaluated for anti-HIV activity in human CD4+ T cell line (CEM-GFP) infected with HIV-1 NL4. 3 virus. 1-Formyl-β-carboline-3-carbxylic acid methyl ester (15) showed inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus at IC50= 2.9 μM.
