Polyproteins (PP) PP1a and PP1b are critical for maintaining the synthesis of coronavirus RNA, whereas maturation of the polyproteins requires a series of cleavage processes to produce a multi-subunit protein complex (known as a "viral replication transcriptase"). The main proteases (Mpro) of the multi-subunit protein complex are 3C-like protease (3C-like protease,3 CLP) and papain-like cysteine protease (papain-like cysteine protease, PLP), 3CLP and PLP are highly coordinated to catalyze the cleavage of polyprotein, and loss of 3CLP and PLP activity can lead to the cessation of coronavirus life-cycle.
The novel coronavirus enters cells by means of spike recognition receptor ACE2, and two key proteases involved in the proteolytic process of the novel coronavirus are 3C-like protease and papain-like protease respectively. Therefore, the small molecule inhibitor aiming at the 3C-like protease as a target spot can be applied to the preparation of medicaments for preventing and/or treating novel coronavirus infection.
In the present invention, the scutellarin methylated derivatives are capable of inhibiting the 3CLP activity of the novel coronavirus, thereby inhibiting the activity and proliferation of the novel coronavirus and alleviating the immune imbalance in infected host cells. In the present invention, the scutellarin methylated derivatives which exert inhibitory activity on 3CLP depend on their flavone parent nucleus.

Mu.L of each sample was subjected to SDS-PAGE, and 2. Mu. L Prestained Protein Ladder was added to the first well for control of the bands separated from the samples (voltage 220V,45 min).
8) The eluate was concentrated to 2mL according to SDS-PAGE result, and the eluate was replaced 3 times with replacement solution A (20mM HEPES,400mM NaCl,pH 7.5), to finally obtain 4mL of 3CLPro concentrate, and the protein concentration was measured using Nano Drop. To the concentrate was added 13mg/mL of Precision Protease (PPE) 100. Mu.L for overnight cleavage.
