The SARS-CoV-2 main viral protease (Mpro) is an attractive target for antivirals given its distinctiveness from host proteases, essentiality in the viral life cycle and conservation across coronaviridae. We launched the COVID Moonshot initiative to rapidly develop patent-free antivirals with open science and open data. Here we report the use of machine learning for de novo design, coupled with synthesis route prediction, in our campaign. We discover novel chemical scaffolds active in biochemical and live virus assays, synthesized with model generated routes. This journal is

The effort was taken to develop a series of benzothiazole and quinoline fused bioactive compounds obtained through a four-step synthetic route using a range of substituted acetoacetanilides. Achieved N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxyquinoline-4-carboxamides (6a-l) were produced up to 96% of yield while the eco-friendly p-TSA used as a catalyst. Further, the anticancer activity of these compounds was determined using a range of cancer cell lines starting from MCF-7 (Breast cancer), HCT-116 (Colon cancer), PC-3 & LNCaP (Prostate) and SK-HEP-1 (Liver cancer). Present study compounds were also testified for antioxidant properties prior to anticancer studies since the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) being vital in cancer development. To determine the cell membrane stability effects of the compounds, human red blood cells (HRBC) based membrane protection assay was determined. In the results, compounds 6a-l were able to produce a dominated result values over PC3 cell lines (Prostate cancer) than the other cell lines used in this study. Since the connectivity of human germ cell alkaline phosphatase (hGC-ALP) in the development of prostate cancer is known, the most active compounds were evaluated for the hGC-ALP inhibition in order to ensure a mechanism of anticancer action of these compounds. The mode of interaction and binding affinity of these compounds was also investigated by a molecular docking study. In the results, 6d, 6i, 6k, and 6l were found with least IC50 values 0.075 μM and highest relative activity of 92%, 90%, and 96% respectively. The need for further animal model evaluation and pre-clinical studies recognized.

The concept of molecular simplification as a drug design strategy to shorten synthetic routes, while keeping or enhancing the biological activity of the lead drug, has been applied to design new classes of human A3 adenosine receptor (AR) antag
