Publication number: 20250205178Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic with significant humanity and economic loss since the beginning of 2020. Flaviviruses such as Zika and Dengue viruses are also significant human pathogens. Although SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are effective in preventing severe disease outcomes, they are less effective in controlling infection or re-infection, particularly due to rapid evolution of viral variants of SARS-CoV-2. Currently only limited options are available to treat SARS-CoV-2 and flavivirus infections for vulnerable populations. Potential of a future pandemic of other viruses is high. The present invention features compositions and methods for a universal high throughput screening (HTS) assay to identify inhibitors targeting the S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-binding site of viral methyltransferases (MTases) using SAM as a methyl donor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Inventors: Hongmin Li, Zhong Li

Publication number: 20250186374Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 has raised the alarm to search for effective therapy for this virus. To date several vaccines have been approved, but few available drugs reported recently still need approval from FDA. Antiviral compositions having niclosamide derivatives were prepared for treating COVID-19. Using a FRET-based enzymatic assay, three niclosamide derivatives, JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941, were identified as potent allosteric inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, with IC50 values similar to that of known covalent inhibitor boceprevir. In a cell-based antiviral assay, these inhibitors can inhibit the virus growth with EC50 in the range of 2-3 ?M. The mechanism of action of JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941 were characterized by enzyme kinetics, affinity binding and protein-based substrate digestion. Molecular docking suggested that JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941 bind specifically to an allosteric pocket of the SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2024Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Hongmin Li, Jia Zhou, Subodh Samrat, Zhong Li, Jimin Xu
