Preclinical Evaluation of the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro Inhibitor RAY1216
WuXi AppTec scientists contributed to a research article in the journal Nature Microbiology, which characterized a peptidomimetic inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). In a human ACE2 transgenic mouse model, this inhibitor (designated RAY1216) exhibited antiviral activities against SARS-CoV-2 comparable to those of nirmatrelvir, but with improved pharmacokinetics.
