Cyanohydrin derivatives exhibited significantly improved inhibitory activity and selectivity against enterovirus 71 3C protease compared to reported inhibitors.
Cyanohydrin derivatives demonstrate potential as potent and highly selective inhibitors of enterovirus 71 3C protease.
Cyanohydrin derivatives as enterovirus 71 (EV71) 3C protease (3C(pro)) inhibitors have been synthesized and assayed for their biochemical and antiviral activities. Compared with the reported inhibitors, cyanohydrins (1S,2S,2'S,5S)-16 and (1R,2S,2'S,5S)-16 exhibited significantly improved activity and attractive selectivity profiles against other proteases, which were a result of the specific interactions between the cyanohydrin moiety and the catalytic site of 3C(pro). Cyanohydrin as an anchoring group with high selectivity and excellent inhibitory activity represents a useful choice for cysteine protease inhibitors.
Zhai et al. (Mon,) conducted a other in Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection. Cyanohydrin derivatives ((1S,2S,2'S,5S)-16 and (1R,2S,2'S,5S)-16) vs. Reported inhibitors was evaluated on Biochemical and antiviral activities (inhibitory activity against 3C protease). Cyanohydrin derivatives exhibited significantly improved inhibitory activity and selectivity against enterovirus 71 3C protease compared to reported inhibitors.
