Structure‐Based Macrocyclization of Substrate Analogue NS2B‐NS3 Protease Inhibitors of Zika, West Nile and Dengue viruses
A series of cyclic active‐site‐directed inhibitors of the NS2B‐NS3 proteases from Zika (ZIKV), West Nile (WNV), and dengue‐4 (DENV4) viruses has been designed. The most potent compounds contain a reversely incorporated d‐lysine residue in the P1 position. Its side chain is connected to the P2 backbo...

Zusammenfassung: | A series of cyclic active‐site‐directed inhibitors of the NS2B‐NS3 proteases from Zika (ZIKV), West Nile (WNV), and dengue‐4 (DENV4) viruses has been designed. The most potent compounds contain a reversely incorporated d‐lysine residue in the P1 position. Its side chain is connected to the P2 backbone, its α‐amino group is converted into a guanidine to interact with the conserved Asp129 side chain in the S1 pocket, and its C terminus is connected to the P3 residue via different linker segments. The most potent compounds inhibit the ZIKV protease with Ki values |
