Structure-based discovery of highly bioavailable, covalent, broad-spectrum coronavirus-M <sup>Pro</sup> inhibitors with potent in vivo efficacy

2025-01-18

Abstract excerpt

The main protease (M Pro ) of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for viral replication and is the target of nirmatrelvir (the active ingredient of Paxlovid) and ensitrelvir. The identification of new agents with differentiated pharmacokinetic and drug resistance profiles will increase therapeutic options for COVID-19 patients and bolster pandemic preparedness generally. Starting with a lead-like dihydrouracil chemotype from a...
