Y-U0-R
Y-U0-R is a potent covalent inhibitor of coronavirus main protease (Mpro), with IC50 values of 0.22 and 0.25 μM against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and SARS-CoV Mpro, respectively. Y-U0-R exhibits broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity, with an EC50 of 0.47 µM against SARS-CoV-2. Y-U0-R forms a stable hemithioacetal covalent bond with the catalytic residue C145 through its aldehyde warhead, and occupies multiple active subsites and residue networks, resulting in time-dependent irreversible inhibition of enzymatic activity. Y-U0-R can be used for research on COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In Vitro
Y-U0-R (2 days post-infection) inhibits wild-type SARS-CoV-2 in Calu-3 cells with EC50 = 0.47 μM and CC50 = 41.3 μM, and retains antiviral activity against Gamma, Delta, Omicron, and Nirmatrelvir (HY-138687)-resistant Mpro mutants[1].
Y-U0-R retains inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro mutants T21I/E166V and L50F/E166V, with IC50 values of 2.89 μM and 2.30 μM, respectively[1].
Y-U0-R inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and SARS-CoV Mpro, with submicromolar IC50 values of 0.22 μM and 0.25 μM, respectively[1].
Y-U0-R inhibits cathepsin B and cathepsin L with IC50 values of 2.58 μM and 34.79 μM, respectively[1].

Protocols

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
