In the present work, we have designed and synthesized potential NSP5 protease allosteric inhibitors exploiting both docking and molecular dynamic data on SARS-CoV-2. The chemical protocols were developed on the basis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions as well as the chemistry of nitrosocarbonyl intermediates. Computational studies were first conducted for determining the best candidate for SARS-CoV-2 NSP5 protease inhibition. Selected compounds were submitted to biological tests, showing low cytotoxicity and moderate activity.

Abstract
In the present work, we have designed and synthesized potential NSP5 protease allosteric inhibitors exploiting both docking and molecular dynamic data on SARS-CoV-2. The chemical protocols were developed on the basis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions as well as the chemistry of nitrosocarbonyl intermediates. Computational studies were first conducted for determining the best candidate for SARS-CoV-2 NSP5 protease inhibition. Selected compounds were submitted to biological tests, showing low cytotoxicity and moderate activity.File in questo prodotto:
