3-Pyridineacetamide, N-cyclohexyl-α-[[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl](1H-imidazol-5-ylcarbonyl)amino]-, (αR)-

Uses

X77 is a potent non-covalent inhibitor of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro)[1]. X77 binds to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with a Kd value of 0.057 μM[2].

Biological Activity

X77 is considered as a reference standard in number of docking and x-ray studies. X77 is a high affinity non-covalent inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro). Its calculated dissociation constant (Kd) is 0.057 μM. X77 is an analog of ML188 a selective non-covalent SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor (IC50 = 1.5 μM).
