Definitions
- Disclosed here are therapeutic compounds that inhibit Coronavirus infection mediated by the S glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV viruses. Methods of use inhibiting broadspectrum Coronavirus infection are described as are methods of treating a subject infected with a Coronavirus.
- Coronaviruses have garnered global attention due to their potential for causing severe diseases in humans. The most notable among these are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, each responsible for significant disease outbreaks. As zoonotic pathogens, CoVs continue to pose a constant threat to global health due to the potential for cross-species transmission, underscoring the need for broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitors.
- the viral Spike (S) glycoprotein of CoVs mediates fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane, which is essential for infection and delivery of the viral genetic material into host cells. This process is conserved across all coronaviruses, positioning the S glycoprotein as a promising target for broad-spectrum antiviral strategies.
- the S glycoprotein is a class I viral fusogens, comprised of two subunits: SI, involved in host cell recognition and binding, and S2, which mediates membrane fusion.
- CoV coronaviruses, including current and emerging variants.
- the S2 domain presents as a promising target for managing CoV infection.
- Cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against the S2 domain have been identified in individuals who have not contracted SARS-CoV-2, as well as patients infected with various CoVs. This compelling evidence is reinforced by the essential role of the S2 domain in the universally conserved biophysical process of membrane fusion.
- the S2 domain has exhibited lower mutation rates in emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, which is further supported by phylogenetic analyses showing a higher degree of sequence conservation in the S2 domains of diverse CoV clades.

- the cells were transfected using JetPrime transfection reagent (Polyplus, France) at 75-80% confluence with 15pg/ml of a plasmid expressing the viral glycoprotein.
- 24 h after transfection cells were infected with VSVAG-G pseudovirus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5, with 1 : 1,000 polybrene infection reagent .
- MOI multiplicity of infection
- Cells were incubated for 1 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator shaking every 15 min.
- Infectious units/ml were extrapolated by calculating the geometric mean of the number of infected cells multiplied by 100 to convert the units from pl to ml.
- the pseudovirus containing supernatant was first incubated with anti-G neutralizing antibody (1 : 1000 dilution, clone 1E9F9 (a-G; Absolute Antibody, UK) at a 1 : 1000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature (RT) to remove residual VS VAG-G background infections before titering.
- Phenotypic assay pseudotype-based HTS imaging inhibition assay
- Icompound Number of infected cells in presence of compounds.
- I max Number of infected cells in absence of compounds.
- Imin Number of infected cells in absence of viruses.
- the compounds were serially diluted to cover a range of 40- 0.31 pM.
- the assay is identical to the phenotypic assay as described above.
- Six different VSVAG viruses representing G, WT, Alpha, Delta, Omicron, and MERS were tested. Data were deposited in Collaborative Drug Discovery platform (CDD vault; Collaborative Drug discovery, USA) and dose response curves were analyzed from image analysis. Dose response curves were generated and fitted to the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm that is used to fit a Hill equation to doseresponse data.
- a 96-well nickel-coated plate was coated with ACE2-His and incubated for 60 min before washing. The plate was then incubated with a blocking buffer for 10 mins and removed. Next, the compounds or soluble Spike were added and incubated for 60 min at room temperature with slow shaking. Following incubation, SARS-CoV-2 spike (RBD)-Fc was added into all wells except for the blank, and the plate was left to sit with slow shaking. After 60 min, an anti -mouse Fc-HRP antibody was added, followed by the addition of an Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) solution to produce chemiluminescence. Finally, a Cytation 5 plate reader (BioTek, USA) was used to read and quantify the luminescence. The final concentration of DMSO was 5% in each wells.
- Flash chromatography was first performed by automated CombiFlash Systems (Teledyne ISCO, USA) with RediSep Rf Normal -phase silica gel columns (Teledyne ISCO) or Silica gel Kieselgel 60 (0.04-0.06 mm) columns (Merck, USA). Purification of the compounds was then performed using preparative HPLC; Waters Prep 2545 Preparative Chromatography System (Waters, USA), with 2489 UV/Vis detector (Waters), using XBridge HPLC Column (Waters). Compounds purity was monitored by UPLC-MS system: Acquity UPLC H class with PDA detector and ELSD detector (Waters), and using Acquity UPLC BEH C18 Column (Waters).
- MS-system SQ detector 2 (Waters). UPLC Method using HPLC grade solvents: 5 min gradient 95:5 Water (Merck): Acetonitrile (Merck) 0.05% formic acid (Bio-lab, Israel) to Acetonitrile 0.05% formic acid, flowrate 0.5 mL/min, column temp 40°C.
- cytotoxicity was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability kit (Promega, USA). 3,000 cells/well of Vero E6 were seeded in white with clear bottom 384- well plates. The following day, compounds were added at concentrations indicated. 0.5% DMSO and 10 pM Camptothecin (Sigma Aldrich) controls were added in each plate. After 48 h incubation, 10 pl of CellTiter Gio reagent was added in each well and the luminescence was recorded using a luminometer (Berthold Technologies, Germany) with 0.5 sec integration time.

- VSVAG VSV backbone lacking VSV-G
- FIGURES 1A-1B VSVAG, which expresses a fluorescent reporter from the viral genome after infection was chosen for use throughout these studies.
- a fluorescent reporter was employed, instead of the more commonly used luciferase, because it allows direct visualization and robust quantification of single infection events, overcoming the need for averaging and the additional processing steps for the Luciferase enzymatic reaction.
- VSV-GAG which express a fluorescent reporter from the viral genome after infection were used.
- VSVAG-Sw pseudoviruses The specific tropism of the VSVAG-Sw pseudoviruses was confirmed by comparing infected ACE2-overexpressing Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK-293T-ACE2) cells and ACE- 2-defici ent Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK-21) cells (FIGURE ID). To eliminate potential residual infections from VSVAG-G that might have been left over during production, all experiments were performed in the presence of a neutralizing antibody against VSV-G.

- FIGURE IE modifications to the cytosolic tail of the S glycoprotein and optimizing the production and infection procedures
- Modifications included truncating the 19-amino acid ER retention sequence and adding an HA, flag or C9 tag to the C-terminus of the S glycoprotein.
- Optimal titers were achieved with C9 and HA tagged S glycoproteins without further modifications (FIGURE IE).
- peak titers were obtained when the cell supernatant containing VSVAG-Sw was harvested 30 hours after infection with the VSVAG-G helper virus.
- infection rates doubled when cultures were centrifuged post-infection (FIGURES 2A- 2B)

- the second column of each plate contained only cells and served as the baseline for 0% infection as the geometric mean of counts in these wells, which also served as the positive controls (FIGURE 3B and FIGURE 4)
- All wells without compounds were supplemented with DMSO to achieve a final concentration of 0.1%.
- Example 4 A three-tiered screen identifies CoV entry inhibitors downstream of receptor binding
- Results' The primary screen evaluated an extensive library of approximately 200,000 compounds against VSVAG-Sw at a single concentration of 10 pM. This process identified 733 compounds capable of inhibiting VSVAG-Sw infection by at least 35% while maintaining a cell viability of 65% (FIGURE 6 (Table 2)). For the secondary screen, the 733 compounds were tested against VSVAG-G to distinguish Sw-specific inhibitors from non-specific ones. Since VSVAG-Sw and VSVAG-G share the VSVAG backbone and only differ in the surface glycoproteins, compounds inhibiting VSVAG-Sw but not VSVAG-G were deemed Sw-specific. The screening identified 65 Spike-specific inhibitors that inhibited VSVAG-Sw infection by at least 35% without inhibiting VSVAG-G infection more than 35% (FIGURE 7 (Table 3)).
- HTS parameters were calculated such as Z' factor, signal-to-background (S/B), and coefficient of variation (%CV) for 569 plates from all three screening levels (FIGURE 5B) (Zhang et al (1999).
- S/B signal-to-background

- Example 5 Dose response and cytotoxicity of putative candidate compounds
- Nafamostat showed similar IC50 values against VSVAG-Sw (0.90 pM vs 1.31 pM) and VSVAG-SM (0.13 pM vs 0.21 pM) before and after purification, with no significant activity against VSVAG-G, and was also active against VSVAG-S a (0.92 pM vs 0.93 pM), and VSVAG- Sa (0.31 pM vs 0.94 pM), and VSVAG-S 0 , but the latter only after purification (Not calculated vs 1.81 pM) (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10).
- PCM-0068389 while showing extremely promising activity and selectivity before purification, completely lost all activity against VSVAG-Sw, its variants and VSVAG-SM after purification and showed some activity against VSVAG-G at concentrations higher than 10 pM (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10).
- PCM-0166392 and PCM- 0179622 while retaining relatively high activity against VSVAG-Sw and its variants was not selective against VSVAG-SM yielding a dose-response curves that were not significantly different from VSVAG-G (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10)
- PCM-0163855 retained high selectivity to VSVAG-Sw (0.60 pM vs 0.70 pM), VSVAG-S a (0.37 pM vs 0.40 pM), and VSVAG-Sa (0.45 pM vs 0.49 pM), with only moderate activity against VSVAG-S 0 (41.18 pM vs 30.77 pM) but was inactive against VSVAG-SM, showing no significant difference from VSVAG-G above 10 pM concentration (FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10).
- PCM-0163855 inhibited the replication of bona fide SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) in VeroE6 cells with and without TMPRSS2 overexpression (6.71 pM and 6.43 pM respectively; FIGURE 11 A).
- Example 6 A PCM-0163855 derivative (Compound 12), is a broad-spectrum candidate
- PCM-0163855 may also be a broad-spectrum Coronavirus entry inhibitor candidate.
- PCM-0282478 inhibited bona fide SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) replication in VeroE6 cells (4.49 pM; FIGURE 13A), and neither inhibited XBB.1.5 and CH.1.1 at the concentration range tested.
- PCM-0282478 was synthesized as a racemic mixture. To evaluate the contribution of each enantiomer, the enantiomers were separated and are identified herein as PCM-0296173 (5- enantiomer; Compound 12b) and PCM-0296174 ( ’-enantiomer; Compound 12a), and evaluated their IC50 value against VSVAG-Sa, VSVAG-S 0 , VSVAG-G, and VSVAG-SM (FIGURE 13B). Only PCM-0296174 potently inhibited VSVAG-Sa and was selective against VSVAG-So and VSVAG-SM (12.75 pM and 30.19 pM, respectively).
- PCM- 0296174 against VSVAG-Sa The IC50 of value of PCM- 0296174 against VSVAG-Sa was approximately half compared to the racemic mixture PCM- 0282478 (0.56 pM vs 1.13 pM, respectively), showing potency increased two-fold. Both PCM- 0296173 and PCM-0296174 did not inhibit VSVAG-G up to 10 pM. Further, only PCM-0296174 inhibited SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B. l.617.2) replication, and its IC50 improved by 2-folds in presence of an inhibitor against the multi drug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) efflux transporter (1.88 pM vs 0.89 pM respectively; FIGURE 13B).
- MDR1 multi drug resistance protein 1
- PCM-0296174 reduced the infectivity by 100 folds in a plaque assay (FIGURES 15A-15C). Finally, PCM-0296174 did not inhibit Spike-mediated receptor interactions (FIGURE 16). Taken together, these experiments suggest that PCM-0296174 is abroad-spectrum selective S glycoprotein inhibitor downstream of receptor binding.
- FIGURE 17A and FIGURE 17B As part of a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, 24 racemic derivatives of PCM-0282478 were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against VSVAG-S s , VSVAG-S 0 , VSVAG-SM, and VSVAG-G (FIGURE 18).
- PCM-097098 emerged as the most potent compound, exhibiting lower IC50 values against VSVAG-Ss (1.12 pM), VSVAG-S 0 (6.97 pM), and VSVAG-SM (7.22 pM) compared to the parent compound PCM-0282478 (IC50 values: 5.43 pM, 23.72 pM, and 21.42 pM, respectively).
- PCM-097098 showed no inhibitory activity against VSVAG-G at concentrations up to 10 pM, indicating a high degree of selectivity for CoVs.
- racemic PCM-0282478 was more potent against VSVAG-Ss, VSVAG-S 0 , and VSVAG-SM than enantiomerically pure PCM-0296174 (5.21 pM, 18.64 pM, and 15.12 pM, respectively).
- enantiomerically pure PCM-0296174 5.21 pM, 18.64 pM, and 15.12 pM, respectively.
- its enantiomerically pure form may be even more potent and selective against VSVAG-Ss, VSVAG- S o , and VSVAG-SM.
- the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the pressing need for antiviral therapeutics capable of mitigating infection and spread of emerging coronaviruses (CoVs).
- a promising therapeutic strategy lies in inhibiting viral entry mediated by the Spike (S) glycoprotein.
- S Spike
- HTS high- throughput screening
- a three-step process was employed to screen nearly 200,000 small molecules. First, potential inhibitors were identified by assessing their ability to inhibit pseudoviruses bearing the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein.
- VSV-G Vesicular Stomatitis Virus glycoprotein
- MERS-CoV S glycoprotein MERS-CoV S glycoprotein
- Nafamostat five compounds including the known broad-spectrum inhibitor Nafamostat, were subjected to further validation, testing them against pseudoviruses bearing the S glycoprotein of the alpha, delta, and omicron variants as well as against bona fide SARS-CoV- 2 in vitro.
- This rigorous approach revealed a novel inhibitor and a derivative thereof (Compound 12 and Compound 12a, respectively, as potential broad-spectrum antivirals.
- Fluorescent reporters were employed instead of the more commonly used luciferase, demonstrating their advantages which include direct measurement of single infection events, high signal -to-noise ratio, and reduced processing (FIGURES 1B-1C). Moreover, fluorescent reporters with different wavelengths enable the simultaneous examination of multiple viruses under the same experimental conditions (FIGURE 1G).
- the HTS platform was leveraged to screen a comprehensive library of approximately 200,000 compounds, targeting potential CoV fusion inhibitors (FIGURE 5A).
- the three-tiered assay incorporated two class I viral glycoproteins from phylogenetically distant CoVs (SARS- CoV-2 & MERS-CoV), and a class III glycoprotein from VSV (FIGURE 5A).
- the primary screen against VSVAG-Sw yielded 733 compounds with inhibitory activity, including known inhibitors of proteases, ubiquitin-specific peptidases, and viral gene expression regulated by the HSP90 protein family.
- the secondary screen showed that most of these compounds also inhibit VSVAG-G, yielding only 65 putative spike-specific inhibitors.
- the tertiary screen against VSVAG-SM separated receptor binding and putative S2-specific inhibitors, highlighting four compounds, Compounds 1, 5, 6, and 11, and the known TMPRSS2 inhibitor Nafamostat (FIGURES 5C-5D)
- PCM-0163855 was retained as a potential selective S glycoprotein inhibitor (FIGURE 10).
- PCM-0282478 inhibited VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-S 0 , VSVAG-SM and bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virus replication (FIGURES 13A and 13B).
- This rigorous approach revealed a novel inhibitor, Compound 11, and its derivative, Compound 12, as potential broad-spectrum antiviral compounds.
- PCM- 0296174 inhibits VSVAG-Sw, VSVAG-S 0 , VSVAG-SM and bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virus replication, highlighting its potential as a broad-spectrum inhibitor of CoVs (FIGURES 13A and 13B).
- Nafamostat failed to inhibit bona fide SARS-CoV-2 delta virus replication, perhaps due to the capacity of CoVs to infect cells in a TMPRSS2-independent pathway (FIGURE 14)
