Fragment-Based Screen of SARS-CoV-2 Papain-like Protease (PLpro)
Coronaviruses have been responsible for numerous viral outbreaks in the past two decades due to the high transmission rate of this family of viruses. The deadliest outbreak is the recent Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in over 7 million deaths worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLPro) plays a key role in both viral replication and host immune suppression and is highly conserved across the coronavirus family, making it an ideal drug target. Herein we describe a fragment-based screen against PLPro using protein-observed NMR experiments, identifying 77 hit fragments. Analyses of NMR perturbation patterns and X-ray cocrystallized structures reveal fragments bind to two distinct regions of the protein. Importantly none of the fragments identified belong to the same chemical class as the few reported inhibitors, allowing for the discovery of a novel class of PLPro inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to:
Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics)
Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery
Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
