Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to tetrahydroquinazoline derivatives of Formula I and their use for selectively killing HIV infected GAG-POL expressing cells without concomitant cytotoxicity to HIV naïve cells, and for the treatment or prophylaxis of infection by HIV, or for the treatment, prophylaxis or delay in the onset or progression of AIDS or AIDS Related Complex (ARC).

A method for augmenting the suppression of HIV viremia in a human subject whose viremia is being suppressed by administration of one or more compatible HIV antiviral agents, which comprises additionally administering to the subject an effective amount of the compound according to claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

26 . The method of claim 25 further comprising administering to the human subject an effective amount of one or more additional compatible HIV antiviral agents selected from nucleoside or nucleotide HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitors, non-nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HIV integrase inhibitors, HIV fusion inhibitors, HIV entry inhibitors, HIV maturation inhibitors, post-attachment inhibitors and latency reversing agents.
