Potent and selective covalent inhibition of the papain-like protease from SARS-CoV-2

Potent and selective covalent inhibition of the papain-like protease from SARS-CoV-2

The development of direct-acting antivirals to combat COVID-19 remains an important goal. Here the authors design covalent inhibitors that target the papain-like protease from SARS-CoV-2. The most promising inhibitor blocks viral replication in mammalian cells.
