SARS-CoV-2 Mpro-IN-9

SARS-CoV-2 Mpro-IN-9 (compound c7) is a nonpeptidic, noncovalent SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor (IC50=0.085 μM), with improved physicochemical and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties. SARS-CoV-2 Mpro-IN-9 inhibits viral replication (EC50=1.10 μM) in SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero E6 cells, while exhibits low cytotoxic effects (CC50>50 μM)[1].
