- Coronaviruses belong to family Coronaviridae and subfamily Coronavirinae with single stranded RNA as their genetic material. Based on their genetic and infectious criteria, they are classified as a-CoVs, P-CoVs, and y-CoVs (van Regenmortel, et al. (2000) Coronaviridae. hr.
- Virus taxonomy Classification and nomenclature of viruses Seventh report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, Academic Press, San Diego).
- CoVs were identified as infectious agents of birds and mammals that cause severe respiratory tract infection (Lee, C. (2015) Virol. J., 12: 193; Bande, et al. (2015) J. Immunol. Res., 2015:424860).
- Recently, some CoVs surpassed the cross-species barrier and resulted in zoonotic disease transmission to humans (Hon, et al. (2008) J. Virol., 82(4): 1819- 1826; Chan, et al. (2013) Trends Microbiol., 21 (10): 544-555; Lu, et al.
- the SARS-CoV-2 genome has been sequenced and compared with other coronaviruses (CoVs) (Wu, et al. (2020) Nature 579(7798):265-269).
- CoVs coronaviruses
- the sequence of the genome confirmed that novel SARS-CoV-2 is a P-CoV, which were originally found in bats and have now adapted to infect humans.
- CoVs are RNA viruses with positive-sense single stranded RNA (+ssRNA) as their genetic material and SARS-CoV-2 shares around 89% sequence similarity with other SARS-CoVs (Wu, et al. (2020) Nature 579(7798):265-269; U1 Qamar, et al. (2020) J. Pharm.
- SARS-CoV-2 has similar genetic organization with other SARS-CoVs with a 5'-untranslated region followed by 16 non-structural proteins (open reading frame; ORF la and ORF lb complex) also called as replicase complex, and the structural proteins such as spike (S), envelop (E), membrane (M), and nucleocaspid (N) protein along with other accessory proteins present towards the 3' end (Zhu, et al. (2020) N. Engl. J. Med., 382(8): 727-733).
- ORF la and ORF lb complex open reading frame
- structural proteins such as spike (S), envelop (E), membrane (M), and nucleocaspid (N) protein along with other accessory proteins present towards the 3' end
- the infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus begins with the binding of the S protein of the virus to its receptor - angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2; GenBank Gene ID: 59272) - on host cells. The binding is then followed by the fusion of the viral envelop with host cell membrane and the release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm (Astuti, et al. (2020) Diabetes Metabol. Syndrome 14(4) :407-412).
- the viral genome (+ssRNA) hijacks the host ribosomes and gets translated into an ⁇ 800KDa large polypeptide (PP) chain.
- the SARS- CoV-2 proteases then process the PP into mature viral proteins required for new virion formation.
- the newly generated PP chain is proteolytically cleaved by the two proteases papain like protease (PLpro) and 3-chyomotrypsin like protease (3CLpro; also known as the main protease-Mpro), encoded by the viral genome, to generate several non-structural proteins (NSPs) required for the viral replication.
- NSPs non-structural proteins
- PLpro and 3CLpro cleaves the PP chain into 16 NSPs (Muramatsu, et al. (2016) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 113(46): 12997-13002; Harcourt, et al. (2004) J. Virol., 78(24): 13600-12).
- NSPs are generated by the 3CLpro, making this protease one of the major targets for developing anti- SARS-CoV drugs (Needle, et al. (2015) Acta Crystallogr D Biol. Crystallogr., 71(Pt 5): 1102- 1111; Anand, et al. (2003) Science 300(5626):1763-1767; Kim, et al. (1995) Virology 208(1): 1-8; Ghosh, et al. (2005) J. Med. Chem., 48(22):6767-71; Macchiagodena, et al. (2020) Chem. Phys.
- coronavirus 3CLpro has a high degree of sequence homology, making it an attractive drug target for a broad-spectrum inhibitor (Berry, et al. (2015) Viruses 7(12):6642-60).
- the PLpro cleaves the newly generated PP chain proteolytically to generate 3 NSPs required for the viral replication (Muramatsu, et al. (2016) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 113(46): 12997-13002; Harcourt, et al. (2004) J. Virol., 78(24): 13600-12).
- SARS-CoV-2 PLpro exhibits deubiquitination (DUB) activity (Mahmoudvand, et al. (2021) Scand. J. Immunol., 2021 :el3044; Lindner, et al. (2007) Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 466(1): 8-14).
- Ubiquitination a process of attachment of ubiquitin (UB) and ubiquitin like proteins (UBL) to the cellular proteins that needs to be degraded by the host proteasomal complex in cytosol, is an essential process required to maintain the host protein turn over. Ubiquitination also plays an important role in degrading foreign proteins such as viral proteins upon infection to prevent viral propagation (Kikkert, M. (2020) J. Innate Immun., 12(l):4-20). Thus, the deubiquitination activity of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro leads to the disruption of host’s anti-viral immune response.
- IFN-a/p Type-I interferon
- ISG-15 interferon-sensitive gene-15
- JAK, STAT, and IRF-3 signalling molecules
- ISGylation to mediate the Type-I IFN induced anti-viral function
- SARS-CoV-2 PLpro mediates de-ISGylation of ISG-15 to the host signalling molecules that leads to the inhibition of the host anti-viral innate immune response (McClain, et al. (2020) Signal Transduct. Target Ther., 5(1):223; Shin, et al. (2020) Nature 587(7835):657-662; Chen, et al. (2014) Protein Cell 5(5):369-81 ; Fung, ET AL. (2019) Annu. Rev. Microbiol., 73:529-557). Therefore, the DUB activity of SARS-CoV-2 dysregulates the primary interferon mediated anti-viral response, which is the hallmark of COVID-19 (Yang, et al.
- RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 is a multimeric protein, composed of NSP7, NSP8 and NSP12.
- RdRp is also called a replicase complex and has over 96% similarity compared to SARS-CoV-1 (Gao, et al. (2020) Science 368(6492):779-782; Arya, et al. (2021) J. Mol. Biol., 433(2): 166725).
- RdRp enzymatic activity is mainly mediated by NSP12.
- RpRp incorporates the incoming nucleotide tri-phosphates (NTPs) into the growing nascent RNA chain whereas the NSP7-NSP8 complex performs primase activity to facilitate entry of incoming NTPs and thereby increasing the affinity of RdRp towards its substrates such as NTPs (Arya, et al.
- nucleoside analogues may result in the development of drug resistances. It has been shown that the 3’-5’ exonuclease activity of NSP14 of SAR-CoVs may excise the nucleoside analogues leading to delayed termination of growing viral RNA genome (Gordon et al. (2020) J. Biol. Chem., 295(20):6785-6797; Agostini, et al. (2016) mBio 9(2):e00221-18). This warrants the development of more potent and non-nucleoside analogues that specifically inhibit the enzymatic activity SARS-CoV-2 RdRp enzyme.
- FCoVs feline coronaviruses
- FCoVs feline coronaviruses
- 3CLpro inhibitors may have potential as therapeutic agents against not only FCoVs but also against other viruses like feline caliciviruses that are important in domestic and wild cats (Kim at al. (2015) J Virol., 89(9): 4942-4950); (Pederson et al. (2016) J Feline Med Surg., 20(4): 378-392).
- GC376, the compound used as positive control used in the current invention was effective in treating cats with certain presentations of feline infectious peritonitis (Pederson et al. (2016) J Feline Med Surg., 20(4): 378-392) indicating a use of the compounds described in this invention in veterinary medicine.

- both minocycline-caffeic acid and 9-animo minocycline completely inhibited the proteolytic and DUB activity of SARS-CoV2 PLpro enzyme, both of these molecules were further evaluated in dose-dependent studies to calculate the concentration required to inhibit 50% of PLpro enzymatic activity (IC50). As seen in Figure 3, both molecules inhibited 100% of the proteolytic activity of PLpro at 100 pM concentration.

- the RdRp complex is pivotal during replication and transcription of the SAR-CoV-2 viral genome. Therefore, the ability of the molecules to inhibit the RdRp enzymatic activity was tested. As shown in Figure 5, only 4-nitro-phenylalanine-caffeic acid derivative was able to inhibit up to 80% of RdRp enzymatic activity. These studies indicate that the 4-nitro- phenylalanine-caffeic acid derivative exhibits more selectivity towards SARS-CoV-2 RdRp compared to 3CLpro and PLpro enzymes.

- Sabutoclax was also able to inhibit 100% of the enzymatic activity at thelOO pM concentration ( Figure 7).
- the percent enzymatic activity versus the log concentration of the inhibitors was used to calculate the IC50 values using non-linear curve fit model as described above.
- the calculated IC50 values for A-1331852 and sabutoclax were found to be 21.62 and 18.71 pM, respectively. Further, A-1331852 was able inhibit approximately 70% of PLpro proteolytic activity, whereas gambogic acid and sabutoclax exhibited only 50% inhibitory activity (Figure 8). These data indicate that A-1331852 is able to inhibit both 3CLpro and PLpro enzymes, but sabutoclax exhibits more specificity towards the inhibition of 3CLpro ( Figure 6). Taken together, these studies indicate that A-1331852 inhibits the proteolytic activity of both 3CLpro and PLpro whereas sabutoclax is more specific for 3CLpro. Minocycline- caffeic acid and 9-amino minocycline are specific towards PLpro enzyme of SARS-CoV-2.

- the SARS-CoV-2 virus is responsible for causing COVID-19, which is now a global threat especially with the emerging variants because of their high infectivity and mortality rate (Davies, et al. (2021) Nature 593(7858):270-274; Challen, et al. (2021) BMJ 372:n579; Majumdar, et al. (2020) Epidemiol Infect., 148:e262; Motayo, et al. (2021) Int. J. Infect. Dis., 103:282-287). Though vaccines have been developed and are still in pursuit, there are no SARS-CoV-2 specific drugs available to stop the spread of this virus.
- SARS-CoV-2 mainly spreads through respiratory droplets (Meselson, M. (2020) N. Engl. J. Med., 382(21):2063). Therefore, there is an immediate need to identify potential molecules that can inhibit the viral replication.
- Targeting viral replicative enzymes such as viral proteases are a viable approach to control the viral replication as observed with in the treatment of HIV and Hepatitis-C infections (Lv, et al.
- an in vitro cellbased viral challenge study was performed using the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in the Calu- 3 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. Briefly, Calu-3 cells were infected with 1.0 multiplicity of infection (MOI) of a Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant. Sabatoclaux, 9-Amino- Minocyclin, Minocycline-Caffeic acid, and 4-Nitro-Phenylalaline-Caffeic acid at 6.25 pM was added to the cells at the time of infection respectively. Viral load was quantified in 48 hour culture supernatant using RT-qPCR with primers targeting the E gene of SARS-CoV-2.

- SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro is the main enzyme required for viral replication and a drug target for SARS-CoV-2 (Zumla, et al. (2016) Nat. Rev. Drug Discov., 15(5):327-347). Recently, Pfizer developed a compound PF-00835231 specific for SAR-CoVl/ SAR-CoV2 3CLpro enzyme that has advanced to clinical trials (Britton et al. (2021) bioRxiv 12: 1-67). However, currently, there are no potential therapeutics that have been developed to inhibit the PLpro enzyme. SARS-CoV-2 PLpro enzyme is a protease required to generate the NSPs essential for viral replication through its protease activity (Lindner, et al. (2005) J.
- PLpro also exhibits de-ubiquitination in order to prevent the INF-a/p mediated anti-viral activity, thus may be responsible for pro-inflammatory cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients (Mahmoudvand, et al. (2021) Scand. J. Immunol., 2021 :el3044; Sulea, et al. (2005) J. Virol., 79(7):4550-4551; Yuen, et al. (2020) Emerg. Microbes Infect., 9(1): 1418-1428; Morales, et al. (2013) J. Mol. Biol., 425(24):4995-5008).
- PLpro serves as an excellent drug target, not only to control the viral replication, but also to prevent the cytokine tsunami in COVD-19 patients. It can be advantageous to develop a therapeutic strategy to target both 3CLpro and PLpro to control viral spread and SAR-CoV-2 mediated inflammatory damage to tissues.
- potent molecules that selectively and specifically inhibit both proteolytic and DUB activity of SARS-CoV2 PLpro enzyme have been provided.
- a Bcl-2 inhibitor has been identified which specifically inhibits the proteolytic activity of 3CLpro but possess minimal inhibitory activity towards PLpro enzyme.
- SARS-CoV-2 RdRp plays a pivotal role in viral replication by facilitating viral genome replication required for new virion formation (Ga, et al. (2020) Science 368(6492):779-782; Arya, et al. (2021) J. Mol. Biol., 433(2): 166725).
- the nucleoside analogue remdesivir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 RdRp enzyme and is approved to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection (Gordon, et al. (2020) J. Biol. Chem., 295(20):6785-6797).
