Drug resistance remains to be a serious problem with type Ⅰ human immunodeficiency virus(HIV-1) nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTIs). A series of novel boronic acid-containing diarylpyrimidine(DAPY) derivatives were designed via bioisosterism and scaffold-hopping strategies,taking advantage of the ability of a boronic acid group to form multiple hydrogen bonds. The target compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV activities and cytotoxicity in MT-4 *** 10 j yielded the most potent activity and turned out to be a single-digit nanomolar inhibitor towards the HIV-1 ⅢB [wild-type(WT) strain], L100 I and K103 N strains, with 50% effective concentration(EC_(50)) values of 7.19–9.85 nmol/L. Moreover, 10 j inhibited the double-mutant strain RES056 with an EC_(50) value of 77.9 nmol/L, which was 3.3-more potent than that of EFV(EC_(50)= 260 nmol/L) and comparable to that of ETR(EC_(50)= 32.2 nmol/L). 10j acted like classical NNRTIs with high affinity for WT HIV-1 reverse transcriptase(RT) with 50% inhibition concentration(IC_(50)) value of 0.1837 μmol/L. Furthermore,molecular dynamics simulation indicated that 10 j was proposed as a promising molecule for fighting against HIV-1 infection through inhibiting RT activity. Overall, the results demonstrated that 10 j could serve as a lead molecule for further modification to address virus-drug resistance.

Channel roughness is a sensitive parameter in development of hydraulic model for flood forecasting and flood inundation mapping. The requirement of multiple channel roughness coefficient Mannnig’s ‘n’ values along the river has been spelled out through simulation of floods, using HEC-RAS, for years 1998 and 2003, supported with the photographs of river reaches collected during the field visit of the lower Tapi River. The calibrated model, in terms of channel roughness, has been used to simulate the flood for year 2006 in the river. The performance of the calibrated HEC-RAS based model has been accessed by capturing the flood peaks of observed and simulated floods;and computation of root mean squared error (RMSE) for the intermediated gauging stations on the lower Tapi River.
