Validation and Invalidation of SARS-CoV-2 Papain-like Protease Inhibitors

Chunlong Ma et al.

Summary: The study aimed to validate a range of compounds as SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibitors, but results showed that these compounds did not exhibit effective inhibition of PLpro at both enzymatic and cellular levels. Therefore, further efforts are needed to search for more potent and specific SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibitors.

X-ray screening identifies active site and allosteric inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 main protease

Sebastian Guenther et al.

Summary: The study identified 37 compounds that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 main protease through a high-throughput x-ray crystallographic screen of two repurposing drug libraries. Among these compounds, one peptidomimetic and six nonpeptidic compounds showed antiviral activity in cell-based viral reduction assays at nontoxic concentrations. The identification of two allosteric binding sites presents potential targets for drug development against SARS-CoV-2.

FoldAffinity: binding affinities from nDSF experiments

Stephan Niebling et al.

Summary: The study evaluates binding affinity quantification based on thermal shifts, finding that results from isothermal analysis are more consistent with established biophysical techniques compared to apparent K(d)s obtained from melting temperatures. Additionally, a method to optionally fit the heat capacity change upon unfolding during isothermal analysis is described, along with the release of a web server for easy application of isothermal analysis to nDSF data.
