Uses
PF-00835231 is a CoV-2 cysteine 3C-like protease (3CLpro) inhibitor, with IC50s of 0.27 nM and 4 nM for SARS CoV-2 and SARS CoV-1 3CLpro, respectively. PF-00835231 is developed for the research of anti-SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. PF-00835231 can inhibit cell infections and also suppress infections in animal models[1][2][3].
Definition
ChEBI: PF-00835231 is a primary alcohol resulting from the cleavage of the phosphate group of the prodrug PF-07304814. It is an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-1 and -2 main protease (3CLpro) and exhibits potent in vitro antiviral activity. It has a role as an anticoronaviral agent, an EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor and a drug metabolite. It is an aromatic ether, a L-leucine derivative, an indolecarboxamide, a member of pyrrolidin-2-ones, a secondary carboxamide and a primary alcohol.
Biological Activity
Potent and selective corona virus hCoV, SARS CoV-1 & CoV-2 main protease (Mpro; 3CLpro) substrate site Cys145 covalent inhibitor with low host cytotoxicity.
in vivo
PF-00835231 reduces the number of multifocal lung lesions and lung viral load in the SARS-CoV-MA15 infected BALB/c mouse model, being effective both early and late in the viral infection[3].
IC 50
HIV-1; HRV3C: 2.79 μM (IC
50)
