Screening of drugs by FRET analysis identifies inhibitors of SARS-CoV 3CL protease.

Abstract:

:SARS-CoV 3CL protease is essential for viral protein processing and is regarded as a good drug target to prevent SARS-CoV replication. In the present study, we established a high-throughput FRET technique for screening for anti-SARS-CoV 3CL protease drugs. Of a thousand existing drugs examined, hexachlorophene was identified as the most potent in inhibiting SARS-CoV 3CL protease. Further characterization showed that it was effective at micromolar concentrations (K(i) = 4 microM). The binding mode was competitive, and the inhibitory effect was dependent on preincubation time. Two other drugs, triclosan and nelfinavir, were about 10 times less potent. The structure-based search and biological evaluation of various hexachlorophene analogues were described. These analogues gave optimal inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV 3CL protease with IC(50) values ranging from 7.6 to 84.5 microM. Optimization of hexachlorophene analogues was shown to provide several active 3CL protease inhibitors that function as potential anti-SARS agents.

  • Advanced glomerulosclerosis is reversible in nephrotic mice.

    abstract::Advanced glomerulosclerosis, a common hallmark of chronic renal diseases (CRD) is believed to be irreversible, and it is thought that glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy may participate in its pathogenesis.
