We report herein further insight into the biological activities displayed by a series of 2- hydroxyisoquinoline-1, 3 (2 H, 4 H)-diones (HIDs). Substitution of the N-hydroxyimide two- metal binding pharmacophore at position 4 by carboxamido side chains was previously shown by us to be fruitful for this scaffold, since strong human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) inhibitors in the low nanomolar range associated with low micromolar ...
