Designing a novel Hydroxychloroquine inspired compound - PMP329 by using molecular dynamics and non-equilibrium alchemical transformation techniques, which has an improved potency for 3CLpro - an important functional protein for SARS-CoV-2 replication. The novel HCQ-inspired compound, PMP329 has been predicted to have high dissociation constant of 70 nanomoles. This calls for a rapid invitro measurement of the activity of PMP329 on 3CLpro as a possible antiviral agent for Covid-19.

The in silico structural analysis of the Boceprevir bound complexes of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and its R60C mutant revealed that the R60C mutation in the Main protease (Mpro) decreases the stability of protein and affects the binding of inhibitor. The point mutation was observed in Mpro (R60C) of SARS-CoV-2 Vietnam isolate.
