Table 2. IC50 values of purified target compounds, nirmatrelvir, and GC-14.
| Compound | IC50a (μM) | Compound | IC50 (μM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nirmatrelvirb | 0.074 ± 0.006 | GC-14 | 0.39 ± 0.03 |
| C1N31 | 2.23 ± 0.48 | C1N43 | 1.85 ± 0.14 |
| C1N46 | 1.87 ± 0.07 | C1N47 | 2.09 ± 0.27 |
Enzyme (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro) inhibitory activity determined by a standard fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. IC50 values are means ± SD of at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate.
GC-14 and nirmatrelvir were used as positive controls (n = 3 biological replicates). For structure of nirmatrelvir see Fig. 1.
