This communication reports on the synthesis and biophysical, biological and SAR studies of a small library of new anti-HIV aptamers based on the tetra-end-linked G-quadruplex structure. The new aptamers showed EC50 values against HIV-1 in the range of 0.04-0.15 mu M as well as affinities for the HIV-1 gp120 envelope in the same order of magnitude.
