摘要
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), turned into a global pandemic, and there remains an urgent demand for specific/targeted drugs for the disease. The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a promising target for developing anti-coronavirus drugs. Schisandra sphenanthera fruit is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with good antiviral activity. This study found that the ethanolic extract displayed a significant inhibitory effect against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro. Forty-four compounds were identified in this extract using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Combining molecular docking and in vitro experiments, we found that two epimeric 7,8-secolignans, rel-(1S,2R)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-3-oxobutyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (2) and rel-(1S,2S)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-3-oxobutyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (4), potently inhibited 3CLpro with IC50 values of 4.88 ± 0.60 μM and 4.75 ± 0.34 μM, respectively. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experiments indicated that compounds 2 and 4 were potent in regulating the inflammatory response and preventing lung injury. Our findings indicate that compounds 2 and 4 may emerge as promising SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors via 3CLpro inhibition and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
