SARS-CoV-2-IN-11 is a highly potent and non-toxic inhibitor of the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating IC50 and EC50 values of 0.17 nM and 1.45 nM, respectively. This compound targets the essential viral replication enzyme, 3CLpro, making it an attractive candidate for intervention strategies. SARS-CoV-2-IN-11 holds significant promise in the development of specific antivirals against SARS-CoV-2.
ADS-J1 is an HIV-1 entry inhibitor that potently inhibits seminal amyloid fibrillization and block fibril-mediated enhancement of viral infection. Semen-derived amyloid fibrils, comprising SEVI (semen-derived enhancer of viral infection) fibrils and SEM1 fibrils, may remarkably enhance HIV-1 sexual transmission and are potential targets for the development of an effective microbicide.
