Targets |
|
||
In vitro | Merbromin strongly inhibites the proteolytic activity of 3CLpro which is a promising target for developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs. Michaelis-Menten kinetic analysis shows that Merbromin is a mixed-type inhibitor of 3CLpro, indicating by its ability of increasing the KM and decreasing the Kcat of 3CLpro. And 3CLpro possessed two binding sites for Merbromin.[2] |
