The rep proteases that are essential for viral polyprotein processing by the coronaviruses and enteroviruses exhibit a strong preference for substrates containing Gln at P1 position, and share an active-site conformation that engages the substrate's P1 residue. Compound 11r and compound 13b are peptidomimetic α-ketoamides that function as high-affinity non-cleavable substrate analogues and thus exhibit antiviral activity against dimeric 3C-like proteinases (C3Lp dimer) of coronaviruses and enteroviruses (Chen et al. 2005, Zhang et al. 2020). Their clinical safety and efficacy in COVID-19 are under investigation.
