Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Mutations at Positions L50, E166, and L167 Rendering Resistance to Covalent and Noncovalent Inhibitors. J.Med.Chem., 67:18478-18490, 2024 Cited by PubMed Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 propagation under nirmatrelvir and ensitrelvir pressure selects for main protease (MPro) drug-resistant mutations E166V (DRM2), L50F/E166V (DRM3), E166A/L167F (DRM4), and L50F/E166A/L167F (DRM5). DRM2-DRM5 undergoes N-terminal autoprocessing to produce mature MPro with dimer dissociation constants () 2-3 times larger than that of the wildtype. Co-selection of L50F restores catalytic activity of DRM2 and DRM4 from ∼10 to 30%, relative to that of the wild-type enzyme, without altering . Binding affinities and thermodynamic profiles that parallel the drug selection pressure, exhibiting significant decreases in affinity through entropy/enthalpy compensation, were compared with GC373. Reorganization of the active sites due to mutations observed in the inhibitor-free DRM3 and DRM4 structures as compared to MPro may account for the reduced binding affinities, although DRM2 and DRM3 complexes with ensitrelvir are almost identical to MPro-ensitrelvir. Chemical reactivity changes of the mutant active sites due to differences in electrostatic and protein dynamics effects likely contribute to losses in binding affinities.
