Diarylpyrimidines (DAPY) and diaryltriazines (DATA) are two closely related classes of molecules resembling the pyrimidine nucleotides found in DNA. They show great potency in inhibiting the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase.{{cite journal |vauthors=Van Herrewege Y, Vanham G, Michiels J, Fransen K, Kestens L, Andries K, Janssen P, Lewi P |title=A series of diaryltriazines and diarylpyrimidines are highly potent nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors with possible applications as microbicides |journal=Antimicrob.
