Table 2. Inhibitory Activity Data of Peptidomimetics 15 and 16 in Comparison of SAP-6 on the Interaction spike-ACE2 (Determined Using a Solid-Phase ELISA-like Assay) and on 3CLpro (Determined Using a Fluorogenic Peptide Substrate)a.
compound | % In(spike–ACE2) at 100 μM | % In(3CLPro) at 100 μM |
---|---|---|
EDLFYQ (SAP-6) | 25% | 0% |
ED(4b)YQ 15 | 0% | 90–91% |
IC50 = 15 ± 6 μM | ||
ED(11b)YQ 16 | 66–76% | 45–57% |
IC50 = 20 ± 5 μM | IC50 = 127 ± 76 μM |
Mean from three different assays, errors were in the range of 5–10% of the reported values; IC50 values were retrieved from dose–response assays as the concentration of compound required for 50% inhibition, as estimated by nonlinear correlation using GraphPad Prism software.
