Naphthalen-1-ylethanamine–containing small molecule inhibitors of the papain-like protease of SARS-CoV-2
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has not yet been eradicated. SARS-CoV-2 has two types of proteases, a main protease (Mpro) and a papain-like protease (PLpro), which together process two translated non-structural polyproteins, pp1a and pp1ab, to produce functional viral proteins. In this study, effective inhibitors against PLpro of SARS-CoV-2 were designed and synthesized using GRL-0048 as a lead. A docking simulation of GRL-0048 and SARS-CoV-2 PLpro showed that GRL-0048 noncovalently interacts with PLpro, and there is a newly identified binding pocket in PLpro. Structure-activity relationship studies were next performed on GRL-0048, resulting in the development of several inhibitors, specifically compounds 1, 2b, and 3h, that have more potent inhibitory activity than GRL-0048.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
