SARS-CoV-2 continues to mutate, spread, and impact public health and daily life. The main protease (M) is essential for the replication and maturation of SARS-CoV-2, making it an ideal target for anti-coronaviral drug discovery and development due to its high conservation and lack of homologous proteases in humans. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of dithiocarbamate derivatives as potent SARS-CoV-2 M inhibitors. Notably, compound L2 exhibited an IC value of 9.1 ± 2.0 nM against SARS-CoV-2 M, underscoring its potential as a promising candidate for anti-coronaviral therapy and justifying further research and development.
SARS-CoV-2 持续发生突变、传播，并影响公共卫生和日常生活。主蛋白酶（M）对于 SARS-CoV-2 的复制和成熟至关重要，由于其高度保守性和人体内缺乏同源蛋白酶，使其成为抗冠状病毒药物发现和开发的理想靶点。在此，我们设计并合成了一系列二硫代氨基甲酸盐衍生物，作为有效的 SARS-CoV-2 M 抑制剂。值得注意的是，化合物 L2 对 SARS-CoV-2 M 的 IC 值为 9.1±2.0 nM，突出了其作为一种有前途的抗冠状病毒治疗候选药物的潜力，值得进一步研究和开发。
