SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶是SARS病毒复制过程中的主要蛋白酶, 针对其开展药物设计有望得到有效的抗SARS病毒药物. 本文基于SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶的三维结构, 对现有化学试剂及临床用药数据库进行虚拟筛选, 选出可能对SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶有抑制的非肽化合物进行初步活性测试, 并研究了已知的人鼻病毒3C蛋白酶抑制剂对SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶的活性, 合成了两种母环的衍生物, 得到靛红和哌嗪两类SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶的抑制剂, 其中一个靛红类化合物的IC50为0.76 µmol•L-1; 而抗组胺药哌嗪类化合物对SARS冠状病毒3CL蛋白酶及细胞培育的SARS病毒的抑制作用, 提示了老药可以开发出新的用途.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 3C-like proteinase is the key enzyme for the maturation of the virus and has been proposed to be a key target for structure based drug design against SARS. In this paper, based on the three-dimensional structure of SARS coronavirus 3C-like proteinase, the available chemical database (ACD) and clinical drug databases were used for virtual screening, and the candidate non-peptidic compounds were purchased or synthesized. Several human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease inhibitors were also synthesized. All the compounds were tested against SARS 3C-like proteinase bioassay. Two types of compounds including hydroxyzine dihydrochloride, a well known antihistamine, were found to inhibit the enzyme and SARS virus in cell cultivating; one of the isatin compounds shows significant inhibition with an IC50 of (0.76±0.02) µmol•L-1. The primary result suggested that drugs in clinical usage can be developed for new purpose.
