Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has required an expeditious advancement of innovative antiviral drugs. In this study, focused compound libraries are synthesized in 96‐ well plates utilizing modular click chemistry to rapidly discover potent inhibitors targeting the main protease (M pro ) SARS‐CoV‐2. Subsequent direct biological screening identifies novel 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives as robust M with high anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 activity. Notably, C5N17B demonstrates sub‐micromolar inhibitory potency (IC 50 = 0.12 µM) and excellent activity Calu‐3 cells determined immunofluorescence‐based assay (EC 0.078 µM, no cytotoxicity: CC > 100 µM). shows superior nirmatrelvir 1.95 similar efficacy ensitrelvir 0.11 Importantly, displays activities against several SARS‐CoV‐2 variants (Gamma, Delta, Omicron, EC 0.13 – 0.26 HCoV‐OC43, indicating its broad‐spectrum It is worthy that retains nirmatrelvir‐resistant strains T21I/E166V L50F/E166V mutations 0.15 respectively).

ABSTRACT Motivated by the anti‐leukemic synergy between histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and FDA‐approved BCL‐2 inhibitor venetoclax, coupled with our interests in polypharmacology, we sought to bolster efficacy of clinical drug grafting HDAC1‐selective or HDAC6‐selective motifs onto a solvent‐accessible domain venetoclax. We discovered multiple polypharmacological agents that both retained potent inhibitory activity venetoclax effectively inhibited either HDAC1 HDAC6 excellent (up 80‐fold) selectivities for desired HDAC isoform. In addition, relative parental two lead compounds, BD‐4‐213 AMC‐4‐154 , exhibited superior activities against acute myeloid leukemia cell line MV4;11 an engineered overexpress BCL‐2. Annexin‐V assay results confirmed on‐target mechanism apoptosis these novel chimeric molecules.

The dysregulated post-translational modification of proteins is an established hallmark human disease. Through Zn2+-dependent hydrolysis acyl-lysine modifications, histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key regulators disease-implicated signaling pathways and tractable drug targets in the clinic. Early targeting this family 11 enzymes (HDAC1–11) afforded a first generation broadly acting inhibitors with medicinal applications oncology, specifically cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphomas multiple myeloma. However, first-generation HDAC often associated weak-to-modest patient benefits, dose-limited efficacies, pharmacokinetic liabilities, recurring clinical toxicities. Alternative inhibitor design to target single avoid toxic Zn2+-binding moieties have not overcome these limitations. Instead, recent literature has seen shift toward noncanonical mechanistic approaches focused on slow-binding covalent inhibition. Such compounds hold potential improving pharmacodynamic profiles through extension drug–target residence time. This perspective aims capture emerging paradigm discuss its improve preclinical/clinical outlook coming years.
