Flavonoids in Ampelopsis grossedentata as covalent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 3CL(pro): Inhibition potentials, covalent binding sites and inhibitory mechanisms.

Researchers identified the key constituents in Ampelopsis grossedentata extract (AGE) responsible for inhibiting coronavirus 3C-like protease (3CL), a target for treating COVID-19. Flavonoid-rich fractions from AGE were found to strongly inhibit SARS-CoV-2-3CL, with dihydromyricetin, isodihydromyricetin, and myricetin identified as the most effective compounds. The researchers found that myricetin covalently binds to SARS-CoV-2-3CL at Cys300 and Cys44, while dihydromyricetin and isodihydromyricetin covalently bind at Cys300, suggesting that these compounds could be used to develop new antiviral agents.
