Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a serious, highly contagious disease. HFMD caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71), results in severe complications and even death. The pivotal role of EV71 3Cpro in the viral life cycle makes it an attractive target for drug discovery and development to treat HFMD. In this study, we identified novel EV71 3Cpro inhibitors by docking-based virtual screening. Totally 50 compounds were selected to test their inhibitory activity against EV71 3Cpro. The best inhibitor DC07090 exhibited the inhibition potency with an IC50 value of 21.72 ± 0.95 μM without apparent toxicity (CC50 > 200 μM). To explore structure-activity relationship of DC07090, 15 new derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated in vitro enzyme assay accordingly. Interestingly, four compounds showed inhibitory activities against EV71 3Cpro and only DC07090 inhibited EV71 replication with an EC50 value of 22.09 ± 1.07 μM. Enzyme inhibition kinetic experiments showed that the compound was a reversible and competitive inhibitor. The Ki value was determined to be 23.29 ± 12.08 μM. Further molecular docking, MD simulation and mutagenesis studies confirmed the binding mode of DC07090 and EV71 3Cpro. Besides, DC07090 could also inhibit coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) replication with an EC50 value of 27.76 ± 0.88 μM. Therefore, DC07090 represents a new non-peptidyl small molecule inhibitor for further development of antiviral therapy against EV71 or other picornaviruses.

通过基于结构的虚拟筛选对 DC07090 作为新型有效的人肠道病毒 71 3C 蛋白酶小分子抑制剂进行鉴定和生化表征
手足口病(HFMD)是一种严重的、高度传染性的疾病。由肠道病毒71型(EV71)引起的手足口病会导致严重的并发症,甚至死亡。 EV71 3C pro在病毒生命周期中的关键作用使其成为治疗手足口病药物发现和开发的有吸引力的靶标。在这项研究中,我们通过基于对接的虚拟筛选鉴定了新型 EV71 3C pro抑制剂。共选取50个化合物测试其对EV71 3C pro的抑制活性。最好的抑制剂DC07090表现出抑制效力,IC 50值为21.72 ± 0.95 μM,且无明显毒性(CC 50 > 200 μM)。为了探索DC07090的构效关系,设计、合成了15种新的衍生物,并相应地进行了体外酶测定评估。有趣的是,四种化合物对 EV71 3C pro显示出抑制活性,只有 DC07090 抑制 EV71 复制,EC 50值为 22.09 ± 1.07 μM。酶抑制动力学实验表明该化合物是一种可逆的竞争性抑制剂。 Ki 值测定为 23.29 ± 12.08 μM。进一步的分子对接、MD模拟和诱变研究证实了DC07090和EV71 3C pro的结合模式。此外,DC07090还可以抑制柯萨奇病毒A16(CVA16)复制,EC 50值为27.76 ± 0.88 μM。因此,DC07090代表了一种新的非肽基小分子抑制剂,可用于进一步开发针对EV71或其他小核糖核酸病毒的抗病毒疗法。
