== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt everyday life, with constantly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants threatening to render current vaccines ineffective. Small-molecule antivirals can provide an important therapeutic treatment option that is subject to challenges caused by the virus variants. The viral main protease (M (pro) ) is critical for the virus replication and thus is considered an attractive drug target for specific protease inhibitors. We performed the design and characterization of three reversible covalent hybrid inhibitors BBH-1, BBH-2 and NBH-2, whose structures were derived from those of hepatitis C protease inhibitors boceprevir and narlaprevir. A joint X-ray/neutron structure of the M (pro) /BBH-1 complex demonstrated that a Cys145 thiolate reaction with the inhibitoraeuros keto-warhead creates a negatively charged oxyanion, similar to that proposed for the M (pro) -catalyzed peptide bond hydrolysis. Protonation states of the ionizable residues in the M (pro) active site adapt to the inhibitor, which appears to be an intrinsic property of M (pro) . Structural comparisons of the hybrid inhibitors with PF-07321332 revealed unconventional interactions of PF-07321332 with M (pro) which may explain its more favorable enthalpy of binding and consequently higher potency. BBH-1, BBH-2 and NBH-2 demonstrated comparable antiviral properties in vitro relative to PF-07321332, making them good candidates for further design of improved antivirals.
