1-thio-β-D-glucose tetraacetate) and TG–RRE, [(μ-S-TG)Fe(NO)2]2 (TG = 1-thio-β-D-glucose) were identified as promising leads for inhibition via coordinative inhibition at Cys-145 of the SARS-CoV-2 MainProtease (SC2Mpro). In vitro studies indicate inhibition of protease activity upon DNIC treatment, with an IC50 of 38 ± 2 μM for TGTA–RRE and 33 ± 2 μM for TG–RRE. This study presents a simple computational method for
