Metallodrug Profiling against SARS‐CoV‐2 Target Proteins Identifies Highly Potent Inhibitors of the S/ACE2 interaction and the Papain‐like Protease PL

their increasing relevance in medicinalchemistry, metal complexes are still underrepresented in compoundscreeninglibraries for drug discovery. In this work more than 100 metal complexes were evaluated as inhibitors of two targets in the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle, the interaction of the spike protein with the ACE2 receptor and the protease PLpro. The most active inhibitors were studied for antiviral effects
