(A) Score distribution of the docked structures in the NIQ library against the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2. Structures with docking scores < -7 kcal/mol (17.5%) were selected for validation by MDS and ΔGbinding calculation. (B) Docking scores in comparison with the ΔGbinding values of the top-scoring compounds selected from the docking step, along with those of the co-crystallized inhibitors YD1 and myricetin. Green arrows indicate compounds that were selected for in vitro antiviral testing.
