 AB    A series of 23 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine
       derivatives that were highly potent inhibitors of wild-type human
       immunodeficiency virus type 1 strain IIIB (HIV-1/IIIB) replication in
       CEM cells were evaluated against a panel of HIV-1 mutant strains
       containing the replacement of leucine by isoleucine at position 100
       (100-Leu-->Ile), 103-Lys-->Asn, 106-Val-->Ala, 138-Glu-->Lys,
       181-Tyr-->Cys, 181-Tyr-->Ile, or 188-Tyr-->His in their reverse
       transcriptase (RT). A different structure-antiviral activity
       relationship was found, depending on the nature of the mutated amino
       acid in the HIV-1 RT. The results show that
       5-ethyl-1-ethoxymethyl-6-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl)uracil,
       5-ethyl-1-ethoxymethyl-6-(3,5-dimethylphenylthio)uracil, and
       5-ethyl-1-ethoxymethyl-6-(3,5-dimethylphenylthio)-2-thiouracil remain
       active against the majority of viruses containing single mutations which
       confer resistance to nonnucleoside RT inhibitors.
