[Technical Field]
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on August 2, 2021, bearing application number CN202110882817.6, and a PCT patent application filed on November 2, 2021, bearing application number PCT / CN2021 / 128089, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to small molecule inhibitors of 3CL protease and their use for the treatment or prevention of coronavirus infections. [Background technology]
[0003] The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-strand RNA virus with the largest genome of any currently known RNA virus. Research has shown that the virus primarily infects cells through the mucosal system of the human respiratory tract. After entering the cell, viral genes are cleaved by proteases, initiating necessary protein translation and replication. The 3CL protease recognizes specific enzyme cleavage sites and cleaves the polyprotein precursor into multiple nonstructural proteins, which is crucial for the viral life cycle and is an excellent target for antiviral drugs. Many commercially available antiviral drugs target the 3CL protease of HIV, HCV, and other viruses. While the HIV 3CL protease inhibitors lopinavir and ritonavir have shown some interaction with the 3CL protease of the novel coronavirus in vitro, clinical trials have shown no significant effect on patients infected with the novel coronavirus. Therefore, potent 3CL protease inhibitors that specifically target the novel coronavirus are particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0145] Test Example 1: Activity measurement of compounds SARS-CoV-2 / Hela-ACE Study The compounds were transferred to a 384-well plate (Greiner, Part. No. 781090-2B), followed by the addition of Hela-ACE cells (cell density: 5000 cells / 20 μL, MEM medium containing 2% FBS). The plate containing the cells was then transferred to a BSL3 laboratory. SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1 / 2020, grown in Vero E6 cells) was diluted to an MOI of 0.75–1 to achieve 30–60% cell infection. The test plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 48 hours, after which formaldehyde was added to achieve a final concentration of 4% fixed cells. A human polyclonal serum antibody was used as the primary antibody, and goat anti-human H+L conjugated Alexa 488 (Thermo Fisher Scientific A11013) was used as the secondary antibody. DNA was stained with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific D1306).
[0146] Uninfected cytotoxicity test The compounds were transferred to a 1536-well plate (Corning No. 9006BC), and then Hela-ACE cells (cell density: 600 cells / 5 μL, MEM culture medium containing 2% FBS) were added. The test plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 48 hours, after which the cell activity test was performed. 2 μL of 50% Cell-Titer Glo (Promega No. G7573) was diluted with water and added to the cell test plate, and the values were then read using an EnVision Plate Reader (Perkin Elmer).
[0147] Enzyme activity test Inhibition tests were performed using 200 nM recombinant SARS-CoV-2 main protease and 15 μM fluorescent substrate (Dabcyl-TSAVL QSGFRK-Glu(EDANS), Genscript). The assay buffer consisted of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.3, and 1 mM EDTA. SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro was dissolved in 25 μL of assay buffer and mixed with different concentrations of compounds. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. The reaction was then initiated by adding 25 μL of substrate dissolved in assay buffer. The fluorescence signal was immediately measured at 350 nm (excitation) / 490 nm (emission) every minute at 37°C for 10 minutes using a SpectraMax® M5 multimode microplate reader. The RFU at 6 minutes after reactions with different concentrations of compounds, compared to the reaction with the lowest concentration, was used to generate IC50 curves. For each compound, the IC50 value against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro was measured at 12 concentrations. Experimental data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software. Activity results for exemplary compounds are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1: Activity results for exemplary compounds
