Design and Synthesis of Dipeptidyl Glutaminyl Fluoromethyl Ketones as Potent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronovirus (SARS-CoV) Inhibitors
摘要:
This paper describes the design and synthesis of dipeptidyl N,N-dimethyl glutaminyl fluoromethyl ketones (fmk) as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronovirus (SARS-CoV) inhibitors. The compounds were tested against SARS-CoV-induced cell death in Vero or CaCo2 cells as a measurement of the inhibiting effects of the compounds on the replication of the virus. Z-Leu-Gln(NMe2)-fmk (6a) was found to be a potent inhibitor with low toxicity in cells, protecting cells with an EC50 value of 2.5 mu M and exhibiting a selectivity index of > 40.
