This invention discloses a high-
throughput screening method for monkeypox
virus (MPXV) N7-
methyltransferase (N7-MTase) inhibitors based on
fluorescence polarization technology and its application. This method uses MPXV E1...
CTD Using the / E12
protein complex as a target, and leveraging the specific binding characteristic of the fluorescent probe FL-NAH to the target catalytic center,
small molecule inhibitors that competitively bind to the SAM
binding site are screened by monitoring changes in
fluorescence polarization signals. This invention yielded a series of candidate compounds with significant inhibitory activity. Experiments demonstrated that these inhibitors exhibit strong inhibitory effects on MPXV N7-MTase, with a biochemical IC50 level of [missing information]. 50 Preferably, the concentration can reach 4.65 μM; at the
cellular level, the compound exhibits a clear attenuation effect against poxviruses, with an EC50 value of [missing value]. 50 The range is up to 46.75 μM, and it has low
cytotoxicity (CC). 50 >200 μM).
