SARS-CoV-2 has had a crippling impact on human life globally. Vaccine development has been used as a first-line strategy for COVID-19 prevention and mitigation; however, small-molecule drugs are still vitally needed to extend treatment options. Traditional screening methods for identifying biologically active small molecules are sluggish and often sample an insufficient number of compounds to identify suitable hits. Here, we applied a screening method known as DNA-encoded chemistry technology (DEC-Tec) to screen billions of compounds against a critical viral protein, Mpro. In rapid fashion, we identified the compound CDD-1713 as a potent and selective Mpro inhibitor. This study illuminates DEC-Tec as a highly expeditious strategy toward generating small molecules against critical targets of infectious agents. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has killed more than 4 million humans globally, but there is no bona fide Food and Drug Administration–approved drug-like molecule to impede the COVID-19 pandemic. The sluggish pace of traditional therapeutic discovery is poorly suited to producing targeted treatments against rapidly evolving viruses. Here, we used an affinity-based screen of 4 billion DNA-encoded molecules en masse to identify a potent class of virus-specific inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) without extensive and time-consuming medicinal chemistry. CDD-1714, the initial three-building-block screening hit (molecular weight [MW] = 542.5 g/mol), was a potent inhibitor (inhibition constant [Ki] = 20 nM). CDD-1713, a smaller two-building-block analog (MW = 353.3 g/mol) of CDD-1714, is a reversible covalent inhibitor of Mpro (Ki = 45 nM) that binds in the protease pocket, has specificity over human proteases, and shows in vitro efficacy in a SARS-CoV-2 infectivity model. Subsequently, key regions of CDD-1713 that were necessary for inhibitory activity were identified and a potent (Ki = 37 nM), smaller (MW = 323.4 g/mol), and metabolically more stable analog (CDD-1976) was generated. Thus, screening of DNA-encoded chemical libraries can accelerate the discovery of efficacious drug-like inhibitors of emerging viral disease targets.
