A series of pyrazolone compounds as possible SARS-CoV 3CL protease inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and evaluated by in vitro protease assay using fluorogenic substrate peptide in which several showed potent inhibition against the 3CL protease. Interestingly, one of the inhibitors was also active against 3C protease from coxsackievirus B3. These inhibitors could be potentially developed into anti-coronaviral and anti-picornaviral agents.

Identification, synthesis and evaluation of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV 3C-like protease inhibitors
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) led to a life-threatening form of atypical pneumonia in late 2002. Following that, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) has recently emerged, killing about 36% of patients infected globally, mainly in Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Based on a scaffold we reported for inhibiting neuraminidase (NA), we synthesized the analogues and identified compounds with low micromolar inhibitory activity against 3CL(pro) of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Docking studies show that a carboxylate present at either R-1 or R-4 destabilizes the oxyanion hole in the 3CL(pro). Interestingly, 3f, 3g and 3m could inhibit both NA and 3CL(pro) and serve as a starting point to develop broad-spectrum antiviral agents. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

High-throughput screening was performed on similar to 6800 compounds to identify KR-72039 as an inhibitor of H1N1 and H5N1 neuraminidases (NAs). Structureactivity relationship studies led to 3e, which inhibited H5N1 NA with an IC50 of 2.8 mu M and blocked viral replication. Docking analysis shows that compounds bind to loop-430 around the NA active site. Compound 3l additionally inhibited H7N9 NA, making it a dual inhibitor of N1- and N2-type NAs.

pyrazolones with alkynes has been developed. This reaction provides a convenient route to synthesize spiropentadiene pyrazolones in good to excellent yields at room temperature, exhibiting good functional group tolerance, gram scalability, and high regioselectivity. Of note, the α-arylidene pyrazolone was introduced as a novel C3 synthon in C–H activation/annulation.
