A series of isatin-3-ylidene (6a–i) and arylthiazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione derivatives 7a–i derived from arylthiazolyl carbohydrazide analogs 4a–i were synthesized. Analogously, coupling of 4f with various amino acid methyl esters in the presence of HOBt/DCC reagents afforded the carboxamide derivatives 9a–d. The newly synthesized compounds were assayed against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in MT-4 cells. All compounds are inactive, except compounds 9b and 9c which showed inhibition of HIV-1 with EC50 = 2.34 μg mL−1, and 1.12 μg mL−1 with therapeutic indexes (SI) of 9 and <1, respectively.
