1H‐pyrrol‐2(5H)‐onescaffold was identified by screening a small library of nonpeptidic compounds. Optimization of this initial hit by the synthesis and screening of a focused library of compounds with this scaffold led to the identification of a novel uncompetitive inhibitor ((−)‐1a16, IC50=2.2±0.7 μM) of the WNV NS2B–NS3 protease. Molecular docking of the chiral compound onto the WNV protease indicates
