The main protease (Mpro or 3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 virus is a cysteine enzyme critical for viral replication and transcription, thus indicating a potential target for antiviral therapy. A recent repurposing effort has identified ebselen, a multifunctional drug candidate as an inhibitor of Mpro. Our docking of ebselen to the binding pocket of Mpro crystal structure suggests a noncovalent interaction for improvement of potency, antiviral activity and selectivity. To test this hypothesis, we designed and synthesized ebselen derivatives aimed at enhancing their non-covalent bonds within Mpro. The inhibition of Mpro by ebselen derivatives (0.3 μM) was screened in both HPLC and FRET assays. Nine ebselen derivatives (EBs) exhibited stronger inhibitory effect on Mpro with IC50 of 0.07–0.38 μM. Further evaluation of three derivatives showed that EB2-7 exhibited the most potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication with an IC50 value of 4.08 μM in HPAepiC cells, as compared to the prototype ebselen at 24.61 μM. Mechanistically, EB2-7 functions as a noncovalent Mpro inhibitor in LC-MS/MS assay. Taken together, our identification of ebselen derivatives with improved antiviral activity may lead to developmental potential for treatment of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A new one-step method for the synthesis of diaryl diselenides has been developed. The reaction of o-iodobenzamides with dilithium diselenide can be controlled by the presence of water providing a simple and efficient protocol to obtain benzisoselenazolones or diaryl diselenides. A series of N-Aryl ebselen derivatives and the corresponding diselenides was obtained. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro as antioxidants and cytotoxic agents. N-(2,3,4-Trimethoxyphenyl)benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one was the best in vitro antioxidant and the corresponding diselenide the most potent cytotoxic agent against prostate cancer cell line DU145, being inactive towards healthy prostate cell line PNT1A.
