Identification of RdRp-NiRAN/JAK1 Dual-Target Drugs for COVID-19 Treatment

Inhibition of virus replication and inflammatory response is important for the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is indispensable for SARS-CoV-2 replication, and Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitors exert immunosuppressive effects. RdRp/JAK1 dual-target drugs are...

description Inhibition of virus replication and inflammatory response is important for the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is indispensable for SARS-CoV-2 replication, and Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitors exert immunosuppressive effects. RdRp/JAK1 dual-target drugs are expected to ameliorate the severity of the COVID-19 disease. The N-terminal nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyltransferase (NiRAN) domain of RdRp is a pseudokinase, and it has structural similarities with JAK1. Herein, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of triphosphate forms of 31 nucleoside drugs in the DrugBank database on the NiRAN domain and JAK1 through a combination of theoretical and experimental methods. By analyzing the three properties of 31 nucleoside drugs (total hydrophobic surface area, number of hydrophobic atoms, and molecular weight), these drugs met the application rule of our developed molecular docking with conformer-dependent charges (MDCC). Based on the MDCC method combined with molecular dynamics simulations, Azvudine and Citicoline among these 31 drugs showed stronger predicted binding affinities with the NiRAN domain as well as JAK1 compared to the reference drug Remdesivir. Further experimental verification, including a thermal shift assay and homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence assay, demonstrated that Azvudine was an RdRp-NiRAN/JAK1 dual-target drug. This work provided a previously unexplored mechanism of Azvudine for COVID-19 treatment and proposed a design concept for RdRp-NiRAN/JAK1 dual-target nucleoside drugs.
