The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global burden on human health and economy. The 3-Chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CL) becomes an attractive target for SARS-CoV-2 due to its important role in viral replication. We synthesized a series of 8-indeno[1,2-]thiazole derivatives and evaluated their biochemical activities against SARS-CoV-2 3CL. Among them, the representative compound displayed inhibitory activity with an IC of 1.28 ± 0.17 μM against SARS-CoV-2 3CL. Molecular docking of against 3CL was performed and the binding mode was rationalized. These preliminary results provide a unique prototype for the development of novel inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CL.
由 SARS-CoV-2 引起的 COVID-19 大流行对人类健康和经济造成了全球性负担。3-糜蛋白酶样半胱氨酸蛋白酶(3CL)由于在病毒复制中的重要作用,成为 SARS-CoV-2 的一个有吸引力的靶标。我们合成了一系列 8-茚并[1,2-]噻唑衍生物,并评估了它们对 SARS-CoV-2 3CL 的生化活性。其中,代表性化合物 对 SARS-CoV-2 3CL 的抑制活性 IC 为 1.28±0.17 μM。对 3CL 进行了 的分子对接,并且合理化了结合模式。这些初步结果为开发针对 SARS-CoV-2 3CL 的新型抑制剂提供了独特的原型。
