General information

2-{3-[3-Chloro-5-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl]-2-oxo[2H-[1,3'-bipyridine]]-5-yl}benzonitrile is a novel non-peptide non-covalent SARS-CoV-2 3C-like protease inhibitor. It was shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 activity in cell culture with IC50s in a range of ca. 1–2 μM with no detectable cytotoxicity at 100 μM (Zhang et al., 2021).
