This invention relates to novel diaminopropane-based divalent metal ion chelating ligands of Formula I, wherein A is selected from the group consisting of —(CH2)a—, —(CH2)bO(CH2)c—, —(CH2O)d—, and —(CH2)eN(R4)(CH2)f—; a and c vary from 0 to 10; b, e, and f vary from 2 to 10, and d varies from 1 to 10. X and Y are independently —CR5R6, or —CH(R7)CH(R8). R1 to R8 are various substituents selected to optimize the physicochemical and biological properties such as enzyme binding, tissue penetration, lipophilicity, toxicity, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics of compounds of Formula 13. R1 to R8 may include, but are not limited to hydrogen, alkyl, acyl, hydroxyl, hydroxyalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, amino, aminoalkyl, alkoxyl, aryloxyl, carboxyl, halogen, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, and other suitable electron donating or electron withdrawing groups. Ar may unsubstituted phenyl group or may be substituted with suitable electron donating or electron withdrawing groups. The compounds of the present invention are useful for inhibiting the activity of viral enzymes responsible for the proliferation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
