Abstract Emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses occasionally cause epidemics pandemics worldwide, such as the on-going outbreak of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we identified two potent inhibitors human DHODH, S312 S416, with favorable drug-likeness pharmacokinetic profiles, which all showed broad-spectrum antiviral effects against various viruses, including influenza A virus, Zika Ebola particularly Notably, S416 is reported to be most inhibitor so far an EC 50 17 nmol/L SI value...

A novel series of peptidomimetic aldehydes was designed and synthesized to target 3C protease (3Cpro) enterovirus 71 (EV71). Most the compounds exhibited high antiviral activity, among them, compound 18p demonstrated potent enzyme inhibitory activity broad-spectrum on a panel enteroviruses rhinoviruses. The crystal structure EV71 3Cpro in complex with determined at resolution 1.2 Å revealed that covalently linked catalytic Cys147 an aldehyde group. In addition, these also good against 3CLpro...

The accurate prediction of binding free energy is a major challenge in structure-based drug design. Quantum mechanics (QM)-based approaches show promising potential predicting ligand–protein affinity by accurately describing the behavior and structure electrons. However, traditional QM calculations face computational limitations, hindering their practical application Nevertheless, fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method has gained widespread design due to its ability reduce costs achieve...

In this paper, we describe the discovery and optimization of a series noncovalent reversible epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S. One most promising compounds, 25g, inhibited enzymatic activity EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S with an IC50 value 2.2 nM. Cell proliferation assays showed that 25g effectively selectively EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S-dependent cells. This which occupy both ATP binding site allosteric EGFR kinase, may serve as basis for development fourth-generation...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most fatal cancers worldwide. In this article, we show that expression abnormal spindle‐like microcephaly‐associated protein (ASPM) up‐regulated in liver cancer samples, and up‐regulation significantly associated with tumor aggressiveness reduced survival times patients. Down‐regulation ASPM inhibits proliferation, invasion, migration epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition HCC cells vitro formation nude mice. interacts disheveled‐2 (Dvl2)...

Abstract Emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses occasionally cause epidemics pandemics worldwide, such as the on-going outbreak of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Existing direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs cannot be applied immediately to new because virus-specificity, development DAA from beginning is not timely for outbreaks. Thus, host-targeting (HTA) have many advantages fight against a broad spectrum viruses, by blocking viral replication overcoming potential mutagenesis simultaneously. Herein,...

COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is still an emergent pandemic for humans. The virus infection achieved penetrating its spike protein to host cells via binding with ACE2. Moreover, recent studies show that SARS-CoV-2 may have multiple receptors need be further revealed. shares similar sequences of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which can invade either DPP4 or sialic acids.

Abstract The SARS‐CoV‐2 spike (S) protein, a trimeric structure comprising three receptor binding domains (RBDs) and N‐terminal (NTDs), undergoes substantial conformational changes to fusion‐prone open state for angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) host cell infection. Stabilizing its closed is key antiviral strategy but remains challenging. Here, we introduce S416, novel amphipathic molecule acting as “molecular bolt”. Cryo‐EM study reveals that S416 binds concurrently six sites across...
