[0002] The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in XML file format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said XML copy, created on August 23, 2023, is named P-611747-USP_SL.xml and is 16,847 bytes in size.FIELD OF INVENTION
[0003] Disclosed here are therapeutic compounds that inhibit Coronavirus infection mediated by the S glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV viruses. Methods of use inhibiting broadspectrum Coronavirus infection are described as are methods of treating a subject infected with a Coronavirus.BACKGROUND
[0004] Coronaviruses (CoVs) have garnered global attention due to their potential for causing severe diseases in humans. The most notable among these are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, each responsible for significant disease outbreaks. As zoonotic pathogens, CoVs continue to pose a constant threat to global health due to the potential for cross-species transmission, underscoring the need for broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitors.
[0005] The viral Spike (S) glycoprotein of CoVs mediates fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane, which is essential for infection and delivery of the viral genetic material into host cells. This process is conserved across all coronaviruses, positioning the S glycoprotein as a promising target for broad-spectrum antiviral strategies. The S glycoprotein is a class I viral fusogens, comprised of two subunits: SI, involved in host cell recognition and binding, and S2, which mediates membrane fusion.
[0006] As used throughout, the term "CoV" refers to coronaviruses, including current and emerging variants.
[0007] Current therapies for CoV infection largely aim to disrupt the S 1 domain-mediated host recognition. However, these strategies face significant limitations, particularly with theemergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying mutations in the SI domain that enhance receptor binding and facilitate immune evasion. Additionally, the variability in the cellular receptors recognized by different CoVs presents a challenge for achieving broad inhibition with SI domain- targeted strategies. For instance, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 recognize angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), while MERS-CoV interacts with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4). Further, the identification of new SARS-CoV-2 receptors, such as TMEM106B16 highlights the adaptability of Co Vs in exploring alternative receptors.
[0008] Strategies to inhibit host proteases like Transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) and Cathepsins, which facilitate CoV entry by cleaving the S protein and activating the fusogenic activity of the S2 domain, have also been explored. Protease inhibitors like Nafamostat and Camostat have demonstrated some efficacy against multiple CoVs. However, their inhibition spectrum remains uncertain due to the adaptability of CoVs in exploring alternative proteases, and their evolution to include a polybasic furin cleavage site, thereby limiting the strategy of targeting a single protease for broad-spectrum inhibition.
[0009] In contrast, the S2 domain presents as a promising target for managing CoV infection. Cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against the S2 domain have been identified in individuals who have not contracted SARS-CoV-2, as well as patients infected with various CoVs. This compelling evidence is reinforced by the essential role of the S2 domain in the universally conserved biophysical process of membrane fusion. Additionally, in comparison to the SI domain, the S2 domain has exhibited lower mutation rates in emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, which is further supported by phylogenetic analyses showing a higher degree of sequence conservation in the S2 domains of diverse CoV clades. These characteristics of the S2 domain suggest its potential as a broad-spectrum therapeutic target. However, targeting the S2 domain is challenging because it cannot be expressed independently of the SI domain. Hence, current FDA-approved drugs for treating COVTD-19 patients, such as Remdesivir, Molnupiravir, and Nirmatrelvir, do not specifically target the S2 domain.
[0010] High throughput screening (HTS) has been used to identify antiviral leads for various viruses. With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, several HTS assays were swiftly developed, predominately focusing on FDA-approved drugs, to reduce the development time by re-purposing existing drugs. Despite numerous efforts, few novel and efficient antivirals were identified. Furthermore, while numerous in silico and in vitro HTS approaches targeting viral entry or viral replication have been developed, efforts specifically dedicated to the identification of broad-spectrum CoV antivirals through HTS have been sparse.SUMMARY

[0036] The subject matter regarded as the small molecule compounds and uses thereof described herein to inhibit Coronavirus entry is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These small molecule compounds and uses thereof, however, both as to organization and method of operation, together with objects, features, and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read with the accompanying drawings in which:
[0037] FIGURES 1A-1G. Production of high titer VSVAG pseudoviruses and quantification of single infection events. (FIGURE 1A) A schematic representation of theVSVAG pseudoviruses production process. Viral glycoproteins (yellow) are expressed by plasmid transfection on cell surface. Transfected cells were subsequently infected with recombinant VSV in which the endogenous G glycoprotein (VSV-G; purple) gene was replaced with a fluorescent reporter (VSVAG) and complemented with VSV-G (VSVAG-G). 1 hour postinfection, the residual VSVAG-G is thoroughly washed, and the culture is replenished with medium. This results in the production of pseudovirus particles capable of a single round of infection, baring the desired glycoproteins into the VSVAG pseudovirus on their surface. Nevertheless, all downstream experiments are performed in the presence of a neutralizing anti- VSV-G antibody (a-G). (FIGURE IB) A widefield image of cells infected with VSVAG pseudoviruses expressing a fluorescent reporter (GFP; green). Infected cells become round after infection due to the virus-induced Cytopathic Effect (CPE). (FIGURE 1C) (left) A high magnification overlay image showing the infected GFP -positive cells (green) and total nuclei (blue). (Right) The respective segmentation showing infected cells (yellow) and nuclei (cyan). (FIGURES 1D-1F) Pseudoviral titers in infectious units / ml. To remove any residual infections from VSVAG-G, the neutralizing a-G antibody was added to all pseudoviruses, ensuring accurate titer calculation. The activity of a-G was tested using VSVAG-G in the presence and absence of a-G. Two-tailed unpaired t-tests were used to evaluate the statistical significance of a-G activity (p. **<o.oi, ****<0.0001. Nexperiments=3, nrepeats=9.

(FIGURE 3A) Schematic of the high content screening pipeline: plating, imaging, and analysis. Compounds were pre-plated. Then, pseudoviruses, pre-incubated with a-G to neutralize any residual VSVAG-G infection, were added in individual wells. This was followed by introducing HEK-293T cells stably overexpressing SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 and protease TMPRSS2. After 24 hours, the nuclei were stained, and the plates were imaged. Images were subsequently segmented and quantified. (FIGURE 3B) Overview image of a portion of a 384-well screening plate (orange box in FIGURE 3A) The neutral control (yellow wells) indicates 100% infection, and the positive control (magenta wells) signifies 0% infection or 100% inhibition.

The growth medium was replaced with 1 ml of medium containing human CD26 / DPP4 pre-packaged lentiviral particles (LTV-CD26, G&P Biosciences) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5. To enhance transduction efficiency, 1: 1000 of polybrene Infection Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the medium. The cells were incubated with the lentivirus for 24h at 37 °C with 5% CO2. After the transduction period, the viral supernatant was removed, and a fresh growth medium containing 1 pg / ml Puromycin was added to the cells to initiate the selection process.[000249] Vero E6 (ATCC) and Vero E6-TMPRSS2 (NIBSC, UK) were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% PS. Vero E6-TMPRSS2 were maintained by supplementing the culture medium with 1 mg / ml Geneticin (Thermo Fisher Scientific).[000250] SARS-CoV-2 virus[000251] Delta B.1.617.2: The variant was supplied by Virus and Immunity Unit in Institut Pasteur headed by Olivier Schwartz. It was isolated from a nasopharyngeal swab of a hospitalized patient who had returned from India. The swab was provided and sequenced by the Laboratoire de Virologie of the Hopital Europeen Georges Pompidou (Assistance Publique des Hopitaux de Paris).[000252] XBB.1.5: The strain hCoV-19 / France / PDL-IPP58867 / 2022 was supplied by the National Reference Centre for Respiratory Viruses hosted by Institut Pasteur (Paris, France) and headed by Dr. Etienne Simon -Lori ere.

The human sample from which strain hCoV-19 / France / NAQ-IPP58166 / 2022 was isolated has been provided from the Selas Cerballiance Charentes.[000254] Preparation of VSVAG pseudoviruses[000255] To generate 5 ml of “glycoprotein X” complemented pseudoviruses (VSVAG-X), 1.2* 106BHK-21 cells were plated in a 100 mm dish (Greiner, Austria) one day prior to transfection. The cells were transfected using JetPrime transfection reagent (Polyplus, France) at 75-80% confluence with 15pg / ml of a plasmid expressing the viral glycoprotein. 24 h after transfection, cells were infected with VSVAG-G pseudovirus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5, with 1 : 1,000 polybrene infection reagent . Cells were incubated for 1 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator shaking every 15 min. Post infection, cells were washed with Dulbecco's Phosphate- Buffered Saline (DPBS, Biological Industries) six times, and the medium was replaced with a 5 ml growth medium. 30 h post-infection, cells and the supernatant containing the pseudoviruses were collected and centrifuged at 500 g for 10 mins at 4°C. Clean supernatant was collected, aliquoted, and frozen at -80 °C for further experiments.[000256] Viral titer[000257] To accurately determine viral titers of VSVAG complemented pseudoviruses at the conditions of the high throughput screen, 10 pl of pseudovirus suspension was dispensed in a 384 well plate (Greiner, Austria) in sextuplicate. Then, 103HEK-293T-ACE2-TMPRSS2 cells were added to each well allowed to settle for 15 mins at RT before centrifugation at 1000g for 1 hr atRT too maximize infection. The plates were subsequently incubated for 24 h in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C.[000258] After 24 hours, the plates were imaged using Cell Discoverer 7 (Carl Zeiss, Germany) in widefield mode with sCMOS 702 camera (Carl Zeiss, Germany). Images were acquired using aPlan-APOCHROMAT 5x / 0.35 Autocorr Objective (Carl Zeiss, Germany). ZENblue software 3.1 (Carl Zeiss, Germany) was used for image acquisition using 470 nm excitation for the acquisition of the infected channel. The infected cells were segmented and counted using Cellpose (Stringer, et al., (2021) Cellpose: a generalist algorithm for cellular segmentation. Nat Methods 18, 100-106). Infectious units / ml were extrapolated by calculating the geometric mean of the number of infected cells multiplied by 100 to convert the units from pl to ml. Where applicable, the pseudovirus containing supernatant was first incubated with anti-G neutralizing antibody (1 : 1000 dilution, clone 1E9F9 (a-G; Absolute Antibody, UK) at a 1 : 1000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature (RT) to remove residual VS VAG-G background infections before titering.[000259] Compound libraries[000260] The compound collection of the Nancy and Stephen Grand Israel National Center for Personalized Medicine (G-INCPM) was used for screening (https: / / g- incpm.weizmann.ac.il / units / WohlDrugDiscovery / chemical-libraries). One-hundred and seventy- three thousand two hundred and twenty-seven (173,227) unique compounds from commercial sub-collections were used. The composition of the screening set was 0.7% Bioactive Screening Libraries (Selleck Chemicals, USA), 7.6% HitFinder Collection (Maybridge, USA), 10.8% Drug Like Set (Enamine, Ukraine), 26.8% DIVERset-CL (Chembridge, USA), 54.1% Diversity Library (ChemDiv, USA). Compounds were stored in 100% DMSO in acoustic dispenser certified plates. Hit compounds were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Aldrich Market Select (Sigma-Aldrich), Enamine or MolPort (Latvia) chemical suppliers.[000261] Phenotypic assay: pseudotype-based HTS imaging inhibition assay[000262] Compounds were spotted using Echo 555 Liquid Handler (Beckman Coulter, USA) on 384-well assay plates in 10 pM final concentration. To avoid background from any residual VSVAG-G activity, pseudoviruses were incubated with a-G neutralizing antibody (1 :5000, clone 1E9F9) for 1 h at RT. Subsequently, 10 pl of the pseudovirus suspension were dispensed using Multidrop™ Combi (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated with compounds for 15 mins at RT. HEK-293T-ACE2-TMPRSS2 were trypsinized, counted and diluted to 0.5xl06cells / ml. 20 pl of this cell suspension was dispensed (Multidrop Combi) in each well containing the compoundand the neutralized pseudoviruses and incubated for an additional 15 mins at RT. To maximize infection, assay plates were then subjected to 1000g centrifugation for 1 h at RT and incubated overnight in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C.[000263] To account for the toxicity at 10 pM for a compound, wells were stained for nuclei with 5 pg / ml Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated for 10 mins at 37°C, 5% CO2 before live cell imaging was done by (ImageXpressMicro-confocal, Molecular Devices, USA) equipped with 4x S Fluor lens in two channels: filter set DAPI (ex 377 nm / em 447 nm) and FITC (ex 475 nm / em 536 nm) for total cells and infected cells, respectively.[000264] Images were analyzed using MetaXpress CME (Molecular Devices) to quantify the number of total and infected cells. Settings for segmentation: cell / nuclei size 5-30 pm and intensity >2000 AU.[000265] The inhibition % was calculated accordingly to: 100Icompound = Number of infected cells in presence of compounds.I max—Number of infected cells in absence of compounds.Imin = Number of infected cells in absence of viruses.[000266] Dose response assay[000267] For dose-response assay the compounds were serially diluted to cover a range of 40- 0.31 pM. The assay is identical to the phenotypic assay as described above. Six different VSVAG viruses representing G, WT, Alpha, Delta, Omicron, and MERS were tested. Data were deposited in Collaborative Drug Discovery platform (CDD vault; Collaborative Drug discovery, USA) and dose response curves were analyzed from image analysis. Dose response curves were generated and fitted to the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm that is used to fit a Hill equation to doseresponse data.[000268] Cell viability assay[000269] To assess compounds toxicity to cells, a copy of the compound as in the dose-response experiment were assayed for live-dead assay. Cells were stained with Hoechst in addition to 1.5 pM Propidium Iodide (Life Technologies. USA) and 2 pM Calcein AM (Life Technologies.). Images were then captured using the ImageXpressMicro-confocal, and analysis was performed by MetaXpress CME adjusted to quantify total, live or dead cells.[000270] Spike-ACE2 binding assay[000271] To test if the compounds inhibited SI -domain and ACE2 interactions, a commercial ELISA kit (SARS-CoV-2 Spike SI RBD: ACE2 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit; BPS Bioscience, USA) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol. The compounds were tested in triplicates with serial dilutions covering a range of 10-0.01 pM, while the positive control, soluble Spike was tested in serial dilutions covering a range of 0.7-0.001 pM. The soluble Spike was produced from a plasmid obtained from Florian Krammer (Icahn School of Medicine, Mt. Sinai, USA) by The Dana and Yossie Hollander Center for Structural Proteomics, Weizmann Institute of Science (Amanat, F. et al., (2020) A serological assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in humans. Nat. Med. 26, 1033-1036).[000272] Briefly, a 96-well nickel-coated plate was coated with ACE2-His and incubated for 60 min before washing. The plate was then incubated with a blocking buffer for 10 mins and removed. Next, the compounds or soluble Spike were added and incubated for 60 min at room temperature with slow shaking. Following incubation, SARS-CoV-2 spike (RBD)-Fc was added into all wells except for the blank, and the plate was left to sit with slow shaking. After 60 min, an anti -mouse Fc-HRP antibody was added, followed by the addition of an Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) solution to produce chemiluminescence. Finally, a Cytation 5 plate reader (BioTek, USA) was used to read and quantify the luminescence. The final concentration of DMSO was 5% in each wells.[000273] Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC / MS)[000274] Flash chromatography was first performed by automated CombiFlash Systems (Teledyne ISCO, USA) with RediSep Rf Normal -phase silica gel columns (Teledyne ISCO) or Silica gel Kieselgel 60 (0.04-0.06 mm) columns (Merck, USA). Purification of the compounds was then performed using preparative HPLC; Waters Prep 2545 Preparative Chromatography System (Waters, USA), with 2489 UV / Vis detector (Waters), using XBridge HPLC Column (Waters).

The following day, individual compounds were added at ten specified concentrations, 2 h prior to infection. Each plate included 0.5% DMAO and 25 pM Remdesivir (SelleckChem) controls. After the pre-incubation period, the cells were exposed to the Delta B.1.617.2 inoculum (at a multiplicity of infection of 0.05 PFU / Vero E6 cell and 0.2 PFU / Vero TMPRSS2 cell). After a one-hour adsorption at 37°C, the supernatant was aspirated and replaced with 2% FBS / DMEM media containing the respective compounds at the indicated concentrations. The cells were then incubated at 37°C for 2 days. Supernatants were collected and heat inactivated at 80 °C for 20 minutes. The Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (New England Biolabs, USA) was used for the detection of viral genomes in the heat-inactivated samples performed through reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT- qPCR). Specific primers targeting the N gene region of SARS-CoV-2 (5'- TAATCAGACAAGGAACTGATTA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 10) and 5'- CGAAGGTGTGACTTCCATG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 11)) were utilized. The cycling conditions involved an initial step at 55 °C for 10 minutes, followed by 95 °C for 1 minute. Subsequently, 40 cycles were carried out with denaturation at 95 °C for 10 seconds and annealing / extension at 60 °C for 1 minute using an QuantStudio 6 thermocycler (Applied Biolsystems, USA). The quantity of viral genomes is expressed as Ct and was normalized against the Ct values of the negative and positive controls.[000285] In parallel, cytotoxicity was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability kit (Promega, USA). 3,000 cells / well of Vero E6 were seeded in white with clear bottom 384- well plates. The following day, compounds were added at concentrations indicated. 0.5% DMSO and 10 pM Camptothecin (Sigma Aldrich) controls were added in each plate. After 48 h incubation, 10 pl of CellTiter Gio reagent was added in each well and the luminescence was recorded using a luminometer (Berthold Technologies, Germany) with 0.5 sec integration time. [000286] Raw data were normalized against appropriate negative (0 %) and positive controls (100 %) and are expressed in % of viral replication inhibition or % of cytotoxicity. Curve fits and IC50 / CC50 values were obtained in Prism (GraphPad, USA) using the variable Hill slope model.[000287] SARS-CoV-2 plaque assay[000288] Plaque assay was performed to determine the viral load of bona fide SARS-COV-2 Delta variant with a dose-response of two enantiomers of PCM0282478 (in duplicates). Vero E6 cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a concentration of 7.5 x 104cells per well. The following day, serial dilutions of each supernatant were performed in serum-free DMEM medium. AfterI h absorption at 37 °C, 2 / overlay medium was added to the inoculum to give a final concentration of 2% (v / v) FBS in DMEM and 0.4% (w / v) agarose (Sigma Aldrich) to achieve a semi-solid overlay. Plaque assays were incubated at 37 °C for 3 days. Samples were fixed using 4% formaldehyde solution and plaques were visualized using crystal violet solution (Merck). To calculate the plaque forming units (PFU) per well, counts from duplicate wells were averaged, and the average was multiplied by the dilution factor and the volume of inoculum plated. The calculation is: the average value of plaques in duplicate wells x dilution factor virus inoculum volume (in pL) x volume per well = titer in PFU / well.[000289] Quantification and statistical analysis[000290] Statistical analysis and tools[000291] Data from analyzed images was processed using Genedata Screener (Genedata, Switzerland). Normalization was the percent of infection where neutral control is 0% inhibition of infection and “No-Virus” control is 100% inhibition of infection. Further chemoinformatic data visualizations were made with D360 software (Certara, USA), which is integrated with the CDD vault. Excel (Microsoft, USA) was used to analyze the data and Prism was used to plot the data. Whenever comparing between two conditions, data was analyzed with two tailed student’ s t-test. Measurements are reported as mean of at least three biological repeats, and the error bars denote standard error of mean (SEM). Throughout the study, threshold for statistical significance was considered for p-values<0.05, denoted by one asterisk (*), two (**) if P<0.01, three (***) if P <0.001 and four ( ****) if P<0.001.Example 2: Pseudoviruses expressing fluorescent reporters enable robust quantification of infection[000292] Objective'. To develop an effective high-throughput screening (HTS) assay for SARS- CoV-2.[000293] Results'. Pseudoviruses featuring the S glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan variant (VSVAG-Sw) on a VSV backbone lacking VSV-G (VSVAG) were produced. (FIGURES 1A-1B) VSVAG, which expresses a fluorescent reporter from the viral genome after infection was chosen for use throughout these studies. A fluorescent reporter was employed, instead of the more commonly used luciferase, because it allows direct visualization and robust quantification of single infection events, overcoming the need for averaging and the additional processing steps for the Luciferase enzymatic reaction. VSV-GAG, which express a fluorescentreporter from the viral genome after infection were used. (FIGURE 1C).[000294] The specific tropism of the VSVAG-Sw pseudoviruses was confirmed by comparing infected ACE2-overexpressing Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK-293T-ACE2) cells and ACE- 2-defici ent Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK-21) cells (FIGURE ID). To eliminate potential residual infections from VSVAG-G that might have been left over during production, all experiments were performed in the presence of a neutralizing antibody against VSV-G. Ten-thousand (10,000)-fold more infections in HEK-293T-ACE2 were observed, with an additional 3.8-fold increase in cells co-expressing TMPRSS2 (HEK-293T-ACE2-TMPRSS2), consistent with the tropism of SARS-CoV-2 (FIGURE ID).[000295] Next, the methods to enhance virus titers were explored, comparing modifications to the cytosolic tail of the S glycoprotein and optimizing the production and infection procedures (FIGURE IE and FIGURES 2A-2B). Modifications included truncating the 19-amino acid ER retention sequence and adding an HA, flag or C9 tag to the C-terminus of the S glycoprotein. Optimal titers were achieved with C9 and HA tagged S glycoproteins without further modifications (FIGURE IE). Moreover, peak titers were obtained when the cell supernatant containing VSVAG-Sw was harvested 30 hours after infection with the VSVAG-G helper virus. Notably, infection rates doubled when cultures were centrifuged post-infection (FIGURES 2A- 2B) These optimizations significantly improved the sensitivity and reproducibility of infection counts.[000296] Subsequently, high titer pseudoviruses featuring the S glycoproteins of MERS-CoV (VSVAG-SM) and SARS-CoV-2 variants Alpha (VSVAG-Sa), Delta (VSVAG-Sa), and Omicron (VSVAG-So) were produced and obtained, and their infection rates quantified in both HEK-293T- ACE2-TMPRSS2-DPP4 and HEK-293T-ACE2-TMPRSS2 cell lines (FIGURE IF). Importantly, the infection rates of VSVAG pseudoviruses expressing either GFP or RFP and featuring the S glycoprotein (VSVAGGFP-SW) or VSV-G (VSVAGRFP-G), respectively, were assessed (FIGURE 1G)[000297] Summary. The results showed that comparable titers were achieved in both single and multiplexed infections, demonstrating the feasibility of multiplexing the assay using pseudoviruses expressing different fluorophores (FIGURE 1G).Example 3: Optimization and validation of a high throughput screening assay for infection inhibitors[000298] Objective'. To optimize and validate a high throughput screening assay for infection inhibitors.[000299] Results'. Building on the robust segmentation and quantification capabilities of the automated imaging system used and the fluorescence-based assay using VSVAG pseudoviruses (FIGURES 1B-1C), the assay was tailored for high throughput screening (HTS) in a 384-well format (FIGURE 3A). To streamline the plating process and ensure robust and reproducible quantification, compounds in DMSO were pre-plated in 384-well plates. Then, 10 pl of a pseudovirus suspension that contained between 500-1000 infectious units was added to each well. Subsequently, 10,000 HEK-293T-ACE2-TMPRSS2 cells were added to each well and the plates were centrifuged and incubated for 24 hours.[000300] Results'. Post infection, the nuclei were stained to estimate cell count. Automated HTS imaging was then used to obtain images of the infected cells and nuclei in each well. These images were automatically segmented and analyzed by a dedicated pipeline (FIGURE 1C and FIGURE 3B) The first columns of each plate, which contained viruses and cells, was used as a neutral control, providing the baselines for the infection and cell number counts (FIGURE 3B and FIGURE 4) The raw infection and cell number counts from each well were normalized with the geometric means of the infection and cell number counts in the neutral control to determine the baselines for the inhibition and cytotoxicity profiles for each compound (FIGURE 3B and FIGURE 4). The second column of each plate contained only cells and served as the baseline for 0% infection as the geometric mean of counts in these wells, which also served as the positive controls (FIGURE 3B and FIGURE 4) For consistency, all wells without compounds were supplemented with DMSO to achieve a final concentration of 0.1%.[000301] To test the reproducibility of the assay and ascertain if a one-time screen at a single concentration for each compound would be likely to identify putative inhibitors, a pilot screen with a subset of 2,489 compounds was run; this was approximately 1.25% of the entire compound library (FIGURE 3C). Each compound was assessed at a concentration of 10 pM for its ability to inhibit VSVAG-SW in two separate experiments. Compounds were reliably detected with similar inhibition levels (R2= 0.60), independent of day-to-day variations, regardless of the number of cells or the raw infection counts, confirming the robustness of the assay, with Z' factors 0.66±0.04 and 0.76±0.07 for the respective runs. To set a cut-off threshold for the screen,compounds chosen were those showing at least 35% inhibition, as this level of inhibition showed high reproducibility in the pilot screen (R2= 0.85). (FIGURE 3C).Example 4: A three-tiered screen identifies CoV entry inhibitors downstream of receptor binding[000302] Objective'. To identify potential S2-domain specific inhibitors, the screening process was divided into three distinct tiers (FIGURE 5A).[000303] Results'. The primary screen evaluated an extensive library of approximately 200,000 compounds against VSVAG-Sw at a single concentration of 10 pM. This process identified 733 compounds capable of inhibiting VSVAG-Sw infection by at least 35% while maintaining a cell viability of 65% (FIGURE 6 (Table 2)). For the secondary screen, the 733 compounds were tested against VSVAG-G to distinguish Sw-specific inhibitors from non-specific ones. Since VSVAG-Sw and VSVAG-G share the VSVAG backbone and only differ in the surface glycoproteins, compounds inhibiting VSVAG-Sw but not VSVAG-G were deemed Sw-specific. The screening identified 65 Spike-specific inhibitors that inhibited VSVAG-Sw infection by at least 35% without inhibiting VSVAG-G infection more than 35% (FIGURE 7 (Table 3)).[000304] Subsequently, these 65 compounds were subjected to a tertiary screen against VSVAG-SM, to differentiate them from receptor binding inhibitors. Since MERS-CoV utilizes DPP4 as its host receptor, compounds inhibiting both VSVAG-Sw and VSVAG-SM likely act downstream of receptor binding. This screen yielded 22 putative S2-domain specific inhibitors that reduced VSVAG-SM infection by at least 35% (FIGURE 8 (Table 4)). Out of these, 11 most drug-like inhibitors that were previously unreported , and Nafamostat, a known TMPRSS2 protease inhibitor, were chosen. Nafamostat, was used as a positive control in subsequent experiments (Hoffmann, M. et al. (2020) Nafamostat Mesylate Blocks Activation of SARS-CoV- 2: New Treatment Option for COVID- 19. Antimi crob Agents Ch 64, e00754-20).[000305] To evaluate the screening platform, HTS parameters were calculated such as Z' factor, signal-to-background (S / B), and coefficient of variation (%CV) for 569 plates from all three screening levels (FIGURE 5B) (Zhang et al (1999). A simple statistical parameter for use in evaluation and validation of high throughput screening assays. J. Biomol. Screen 4, 67-73) These showed the robust performance of the screening platform with a high Z' factor (0.8±0.09) and a very high S / B (103), suggesting excellent sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the low %CV (1.9±0.74% for neutral controls and 0.1±0.03% for positive control) indicates the high reproducibility and precision of the platform. Plates that failed to meet the accepted Z' cut-off of0.5 underwent manual checks for errors in the infection counts of the positive and negative controls, and any outlier wells were excluded before data normalization.To ensure the reliability of the HTS platform and rule out potential false positives due to compound degradation or quality, 4 compounds of the 11 novel compounds (Compounds 1 (PCM-0068389), 5 (PCM-0166392), 6 (PCM-0179622), and 11 (PCM-0163855); FIGURE 8 (Table 4)) and Nafamostat were resourced from alternative vendors and their activity against VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-G, and VSVAG-SM was reassessed (FIGURES 5C-5D). These compounds demonstrated varied inhibitory activity against VSVAG-Sw (38%-87%) and VSVAG-SM (27%-94%) but did not significantly inhibit VSVAG-G (-23% to 0%) confirming their selectivity (FIGURE 5D).Example 5: Dose response and cytotoxicity of putative candidate compounds[000306] Objective'. To further assess the putative candidate compounds.[000307] Results'. Next, the cytotoxicity (CC50) and IC50 values for each compound were evaluated using a concentration range of 0.3125 - 40 pM against VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-G, and VSVAG-SM, as well as VSVAG-Sa, VSVAG-Sa, and VSVAG-S0. Since the purity of these compounds ranged from 70% to 95%, and as an additional validation step, these experiments were performed on the compounds before and after HPLC purification. All compounds showed low to moderate cytotoxicity before and after purification (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10, respectively).[000308] Nafamostat showed similar IC50 values against VSVAG-Sw (0.90 pM vs 1.31 pM) and VSVAG-SM (0.13 pM vs 0.21 pM) before and after purification, with no significant activity against VSVAG-G, and was also active against VSVAG-Sa(0.92 pM vs 0.93 pM), and VSVAG- Sa (0.31 pM vs 0.94 pM), and VSVAG-S0, but the latter only after purification (Not calculated vs 1.81 pM) (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10). PCM-0068389, while showing extremely promising activity and selectivity before purification, completely lost all activity against VSVAG-Sw, its variants and VSVAG-SM after purification and showed some activity against VSVAG-G at concentrations higher than 10 pM (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10). PCM-0166392 and PCM- 0179622 while retaining relatively high activity against VSVAG-Sw and its variants was not selective against VSVAG-SM yielding a dose-response curves that were not significantly different from VSVAG-G (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10)[000309] PCM-0163855 retained high selectivity to VSVAG-Sw (0.60 pM vs 0.70 pM), VSVAG-Sa(0.37 pM vs 0.40 pM), and VSVAG-Sa (0.45 pM vs 0.49 pM), with only moderateactivity against VSVAG-S0(41.18 pM vs 30.77 pM) but was inactive against VSVAG-SM, showing no significant difference from VSVAG-G above 10 pM concentration (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10). Consistently, PCM-0163855 inhibited the replication of bona fide SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) in VeroE6 cells with and without TMPRSS2 overexpression (6.71 pM and 6.43 pM respectively; FIGURE 11 A).Example 6: A PCM-0163855 derivative (Compound 12), is a broad-spectrum candidate[000310] Objective'. To assess if a derivative of PCM-0163855 may also be a broad-spectrum Coronavirus entry inhibitor candidate.[000311] Results'. PCM-0163855 (Compound 11) and its sulfoxide derivative (PCM-0282478; Compound 12) were synthesized (FIGURE 12). The IC50 value of these two compounds was evaluated against VSVAG-Sa, VSVAG-S0, VSVAG-G, and VSVAG-SM, and bona fide SARS- CoV-2 variants, Delta (B.l.617.2), XBB.1.5 and CH.1.1 (FIGURE 13A and FIGURE 14A). Dose-response curves demonstrated that PCM-0282478 (Compound 12) was approximately 10 times more potent than synthesized PCM-0163855 (Compound 11) against VSVAG-Sa (1.13 pM and 14.40 pM respectively) and selective against VSVAG-S0and VSVAG-SM (14.67 pM and 17.12 pM respectively). Neither PCM-0163855 nor PCM-0282478 inhibited VSVAG-G up to 10 pM. Furthermore, only PCM-0282478 inhibited bona fide SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) replication in VeroE6 cells (4.49 pM; FIGURE 13A), and neither inhibited XBB.1.5 and CH.1.1 at the concentration range tested.[000312] PCM-0282478 was synthesized as a racemic mixture. To evaluate the contribution of each enantiomer, the enantiomers were separated and are identified herein as PCM-0296173 (5- enantiomer; Compound 12b) and PCM-0296174 ( ’-enantiomer; Compound 12a), and evaluated their IC50 value against VSVAG-Sa, VSVAG-S0, VSVAG-G, and VSVAG-SM (FIGURE 13B). Only PCM-0296174 potently inhibited VSVAG-Sa and was selective against VSVAG-So and VSVAG-SM (12.75 pM and 30.19 pM, respectively). The IC50 of value of PCM- 0296174 against VSVAG-Sa was approximately half compared to the racemic mixture PCM- 0282478 (0.56 pM vs 1.13 pM, respectively), showing potency increased two-fold. Both PCM- 0296173 and PCM-0296174 did not inhibit VSVAG-G up to 10 pM. Further, only PCM-0296174 inhibited SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B. l.617.2) replication, and its IC50 improved by 2-folds in presence of an inhibitor against the multi drug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) efflux transporter (1.88 pM vs 0.89 pM respectively; FIGURE 13B). Furthermore, PCM-0296174 reduced theinfectivity by 100 folds in a plaque assay (FIGURES 15A-15C). Finally, PCM-0296174 did not inhibit Spike-mediated receptor interactions (FIGURE 16). Taken together, these experiments suggest that PCM-0296174 is abroad-spectrum selective S glycoprotein inhibitor downstream of receptor binding.[000313](FIGURE 17A and FIGURE 17B) As part of a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, 24 racemic derivatives of PCM-0282478 were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against VSVAG-Ss, VSVAG-S0, VSVAG-SM, and VSVAG-G (FIGURE 18). Among the derivatives tested, PCM-097098 emerged as the most potent compound, exhibiting lower IC50 values against VSVAG-Ss (1.12 pM), VSVAG-S0(6.97 pM), and VSVAG-SM (7.22 pM) compared to the parent compound PCM-0282478 (IC50 values: 5.43 pM, 23.72 pM, and 21.42 pM, respectively). Notably, PCM-097098 showed no inhibitory activity against VSVAG-G at concentrations up to 10 pM, indicating a high degree of selectivity for CoVs. (FIGURE 18) Interestingly, racemic PCM-0282478 was more potent against VSVAG-Ss, VSVAG-S0, and VSVAG-SM than enantiomerically pure PCM-0296174 (5.21 pM, 18.64 pM, and 15.12 pM, respectively). Given the superior potency and selectivity of racemic PCM-097098, its enantiomerically pure form may be even more potent and selective against VSVAG-Ss, VSVAG- So, and VSVAG-SM.Summary of Examples 2-6[000314] The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the pressing need for antiviral therapeutics capable of mitigating infection and spread of emerging coronaviruses (CoVs). A promising therapeutic strategy lies in inhibiting viral entry mediated by the Spike (S) glycoprotein. To identify small molecule inhibitors that block entry downstream of receptor binding, a high- throughput screening (HTS) platform was established based on pseudoviruses. A three-step process was employed to screen nearly 200,000 small molecules. First, potential inhibitors were identified by assessing their ability to inhibit pseudoviruses bearing the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein. Subsequent counter-screening against pseudoviruses with the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus glycoprotein (VSV-G), yielded sixty-five SARS-CoV-2 S-specific inhibitors. These were further tested against pseudoviruses bearing the MERS-CoV S glycoprotein, which uses a different receptor. Out of these, five compounds including the known broad-spectrum inhibitor Nafamostat, were subjected to further validation, testing them against pseudoviruses bearing theS glycoprotein of the alpha, delta, and omicron variants as well as against bona fide SARS-CoV- 2 in vitro. This rigorous approach revealed a novel inhibitor and a derivative thereof (Compound 12 and Compound 12a, respectively, as potential broad-spectrum antivirals. These results validate the HTS platform and set the stage for lead optimization and future pre-clinical, in vivo studies. [000315] Briefly, to identify potential CoVs fusion inhibitors (viral entry inhibitors), an HTS platform was developed that relies on a phenotypic assay of infection using well -characterized, replication-deficient VSVAG pseudoviruses that can be studied at biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) and express a fluorescent reporter upon infection. This allowed the production and accurate tittering of pseudoviruses featuring the S glycoproteins from SARS-CoV-2 variants and MERS-CoV, which was essential for establishing pseudoviruses preparation with titers of 104infections per ml (FIGURE IF). If the titers had dropped below 103infections per ml, the feasibility of using 384-well plates would have been compromised, rendering the screening process both economically and logistically prohibitive.[000316] Fluorescent reporters were employed instead of the more commonly used luciferase, demonstrating their advantages which include direct measurement of single infection events, high signal -to-noise ratio, and reduced processing (FIGURES 1B-1C). Moreover, fluorescent reporters with different wavelengths enable the simultaneous examination of multiple viruses under the same experimental conditions (FIGURE 1G).[000317] The HTS platform was leveraged to screen a comprehensive library of approximately 200,000 compounds, targeting potential CoV fusion inhibitors (FIGURE 5A). The three-tiered assay incorporated two class I viral glycoproteins from phylogenetically distant CoVs (SARS- CoV-2 & MERS-CoV), and a class III glycoprotein from VSV (FIGURE 5A). The primary screen against VSVAG-Sw yielded 733 compounds with inhibitory activity, including known inhibitors of proteases, ubiquitin-specific peptidases, and viral gene expression regulated by the HSP90 protein family. The secondary screen showed that most of these compounds also inhibit VSVAG-G, yielding only 65 putative spike-specific inhibitors. Finally, the tertiary screen against VSVAG-SM separated receptor binding and putative S2-specific inhibitors, highlighting four compounds, Compounds 1, 5, 6, and 11, and the known TMPRSS2 inhibitor Nafamostat (FIGURES 5C-5D)[000318] Following validation only PCM-0163855 was retained as a potential selective S glycoprotein inhibitor (FIGURE 10). Surprisingly, its sulfoxide derivative PCM-0282478 inhibited VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-S0, VSVAG-SM and bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virusreplication (FIGURES 13A and 13B). This rigorous approach revealed a novel inhibitor, Compound 11, and its derivative, Compound 12, as potential broad-spectrum antiviral compounds. Finally, it was shown that only one of the PCM-0282478 derived enantiomers, PCM- 0296174, inhibits VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-S0, VSVAG-SM and bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virus replication, highlighting its potential as a broad-spectrum inhibitor of CoVs (FIGURES 13A and 13B). Intriguingly, Nafamostat failed to inhibit bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virus replication, perhaps due to the capacity of CoVs to infect cells in a TMPRSS2-independent pathway (FIGURE 14)[000319] These findings reinforce the utility of the HTS platform in identifying novel CoVs inhibitors with the potential to deepen our understanding of coronavirus biology. Elucidating the precise antiviral mechanisms employed by these inhibitors warrants further exploration. The synthesis and analysis of novel compound of Formula 11A, provides a promising compound with broad-spectrum antiviral activity. Hence, the present study lays the groundwork for potential development of a new class of small molecules, holding promise for mitigating the impacts of future pandemics.[000320] While certain features of the broad spectrum Coronavirus entry inhibitor compounds and uses thereof have been illustrated and described herein, many modifications, substitutions, changes, and equivalents will now occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
