Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal pharmacology. In particular, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents which function as inhibitors of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral replication and/or SARS-CoV-2 related viral 3CL protease (Mpro) activity. The invention further relates to methods of treating and/or ameliorating symptoms related to conditions caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (e.g., COVID-19), comprising administering to a subject (e.g., a human patient) a composition comprising one or more pharmaceutical agents which function as inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication and/or inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 related Mpro activity.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry and relates to a new class of small-molecules having a N-methyl-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-amine (or similar) structure (e.g.: Formula I) which function as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro), which function as therapeutics for the treatment of viral infection characterized with PLpro protease activity and/or expression (e.g., COVID-19), and which function as therapeutics for the treatment of other conditions characterized with PLpro protease activity and/or expression.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry and relates to a new class of small-molecules having a methyl-acetamido-propanamide structure (e.g., Formula I) which function as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), which function as therapeutics for the treatment of viral infection characterized with Mpro protease activity and/or expression (e.g., COVID-19), and which function as therapeutics for the treatment of other conditions characterized with Mpro protease activity and/or expression.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a quinoline (or similar) structure which function as antagonists of androgen receptor activity, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of cancer (e.g., castration-resistant prostate cancer) and other conditions characterized with androgen receptor activity and/or androgen receptor expression.
