Synthesis and In Silico Study of Some New <i>bis</i>-[1,3,4]thiadiazolimines and <i>bis</i>-Thiazolimines as Potential Inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease

A novel series of <i>bis</i>-[1,3,4]thiadiazolimines, and <i>bis</i>-thiazolimines, with alkyl linker, were synthesized through general routes from cyclization of 1,1′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(3-phenylthiourea) and hydrazonoyl halides or <i>α</i>-haloketones, respecti...

description A novel series of <i>bis</i>-[1,3,4]thiadiazolimines, and <i>bis</i>-thiazolimines, with alkyl linker, were synthesized through general routes from cyclization of 1,1′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(3-phenylthiourea) and hydrazonoyl halides or <i>α</i>-haloketones, respectively. Docking studies were applied to test the binding affinity of the synthesized products against the M<sup>pro</sup> of SARS-CoV-2. The best compound, <b>5h</b>, has average binding energy (−7.50 ± 0.58 kcal/mol) better than that of the positive controls O6K and N3 (−7.36 ± 0.34 and −6.36 ± 0.31 kcal/mol). Additionally, the docking poses (H-bonds and hydrophobic contacts) of the tested compounds against the M<sup>pro</sup> using the PLIP web server were analyzed.
