Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes high mortality in pigs. PEDV main protease (Mpro) plays an essential role in viral replication. We solved the structure of PEDV Mpro complexed with peptidomimetic inhibitor N3 carrying a Michael acceptor warhead, revealing atomic level interactions. We further designed a series of 17 inhibitors with altered side groups. Inhibitors M2 and M17 demonstrated enhanced specificity against PEDV Mpro. These compounds have potential as future therapeutics to combat PEDV infection.

The invention provides a small-molecule inhibitor against MERS-CoV main protease. The small-molecule inhibitor is designed on the basis of the crystal structure of main protease of the novel coronavirus MERS-CoV. The invention also provides a synthetic method for the small-molecule inhibitor and application of the small-molecule inhibitor in preparation of drugs used for preventing and treating MERS-CoV infections. The small-molecule inhibitor against MERS-CoV main protease can substantially inhibit the activity of main protease of the MERS coronavirus, has good inhibitory activity to main protease of coronaviruses like SARS and MHV, and presents good application prospects in preparation of drugs used for preventing or treating coronavirus infections.
