The reactive organoselenium compound ebselen is being investigated for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other diseases. We report structure-activity studies on sulfur analogues of ebselen with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (M ), employing turnover and protein-observed mass spectrometry-based assays. The results reveal scope for optimisation of ebselen/ebselen derivative- mediated inhibition of M , particularly with respect to improved selectivity.
正在研究反应性有机硒化合物依布硒啉治疗 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)和其他疾病。我们报告了依布硒啉的硫类似物与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)主蛋白酶(M)的结构-活性研究,采用周转和基于蛋白质观察的质谱测定法进行。结果表明,依布硒啉/依布硒啉衍生物介导的 M 抑制作用具有优化的空间,特别是在提高选择性方面。
