Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is still spreading at an alarming rate and has caused huge loss of life and economic damage worldwide. Although more than one year has passed, effective treatments for COVID-19 and other pathogenic coronaviruses have not yet been developed. Therefore, the development of SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors is an urgent priority. Given that the M sequences of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 are 100% identical in the catalytic domain for protein cleavage, the viral main protease (M) is one of the most extensive drug targets in all the drug targets being investigated for SARS-CoV-2. To provide scientific researchers with timely anti-SARS-CoV drug development information for M, we focus on the past and current drug design and development strategies for M in this review. We believe that this review will provide meaningful guidance for the design and development of innovative drugs against COVID-19 and other pathogenic coronaviruses in the future.
自新冠疫情爆发以来,由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染引发的大流行仍在以惊人的速度蔓延,在全球范围内造成了巨大的生命损失和经济破坏。尽管已经过去了一年多时间,但针对新冠病毒和其他致病性冠状病毒的有效治疗方法尚未研发出来。因此,开发SARS-CoV-2抑制剂是当务之急。鉴于SARS-CoV-2与SARS-CoV-1的M序列在蛋白裂解催化结构域中100%相同,病毒主蛋白酶(M)是所有针对SARS-CoV-2研究的药物靶点中最广泛的药物靶点之一。为了及时为科研人员提供针对M的抗SARS-CoV药物开发信息,我们在本综述中重点关注了M过去和当前的药物设计与开发策略。我们相信,本综述将为未来针对新冠病毒和其他致病性冠状病毒的创新药物设计与开发提供有意义的指导。
