High-throughput modular click chemistry synthesis of catechol derivatives as covalent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 3CL pro

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a crucial target in anti-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) drug design. The authors of this article performed high-throughput synthesis of catechol derivatives from the bioactive catechol-terminal alkyne scaffold A4, by using modular click chemistry. Subsequently, two rounds of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibition […]
