A quinolinone compound 1 was selected via virtual screening, and it was syn- thetized and tested for enzymatic inhibition in vitro. Compound 1 showed potent inhibitory activity (ICs0= 0.44 μmol/L) toward SARS CoV 3CL^pro. Further work on a series of quinolinone derivatives resulted in the discovery of the most potent compound 23, inhibiting SARS CoV 3CL^pro with an IC50 of 36.86 μmol/L. The structure-activity relationships were also discussed.展开更多
