Discovery of Pyrazolopyridine Analogs as Broad-Spectrum Antivirals against Non-Polio Enteroviruses including EV-D68, EV­A71, and CVB3
This invention reports the discovery and development of pyrazolopyridine inhibitors that have been shown to be effective in cell culture against multiple strains of non-polio enteroviruses including: EV-D68, EV­A71, and CVB3. There are currently no antivirals or vaccines for non-polio enteroviruses, and the health consequences of infection for some...

PLpro Inhibitors Against SARS-CoV-2
There are two cysteine proteases that are encoded by SARS-CoV-2, the main protease (Mpro) and the papain-like protease (PLpro). Both of these proteases have been shown to be essential in viral replication and are validated antiviral drug targets. PLpro cleaves the viral SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein at three sites. In addition, it modulates host immune response...

Discovery of Non-Covalent Inhibitors Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease
This technology encompasses the development of novel inhibitors for the main protease, or Mpro, of SARS-CoV-2. The main protease of SARS-CoV-2 is a validated drug target and could be key to the development of more antiviral drugs against the virus. The inhibitors proposed in this technology are notable, as they are non-covalent inhibitors with high...
