YL1004
YL1004 is a potent, selective and orally active noncovalent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro). YL1004 shows an IC50 of 17.5 nM and a Ki of 2.3 nM against PLpro, with an in vitro anti-SARS-CoV-2 EC50 of 0.08 μM-1.37 μM. YL1004 suppresses the proteolytic activity of PLpro and blocks its deubiquitinating and deISGylating effects to restore host innate antiviral immune signaling. YL1004 inhibits the replication of wild-type, Delta, Omicron variants and nirmatrelvir-resistant strains of SARS-CoV-2. YL1004 can be used for the research of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection).

Biological Activity
YL1004 (range; 10 min preincubation at room temperature) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 PLpro-mediated polyprotein cleavage with an IC50 of 17.5 nM and a Ki of 2.3 nM; inhibits SARS-CoV-2 PLpro-mediated deubiquitination with an IC50 of 22.9 nM and a Ki of 4.2 nM; inhibits SARS-CoV-2 PLpro-mediated deISGylation with an IC50 of 43.6 nM and a Ki of 39.3 nM[1].
YL1004 (72 h) exhibits low cytotoxicity in mammalian cell lines, with a CC50 of 226.90 μM in VeroE6 cells and 296.33 μM in Calu3 cells[1].
YL1004 directly binds to SARS-CoV-2 PLpro, as demonstrated by a ΔTm of 18.07°C in a DSF assay[1].
YL1004 (0.001-10 μM; 36 h) dose-dependently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 PLpro-mediated deubiquitination in HEK293T cells[1].
YL1004 (0.1-10 μM; co-treated with PLpro following 48 h IFN-α stimulation) dose-dependently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 PLpro-mediated deISGylation[1].
YL1004 (0.002-10 μM; co-treated with TNF-α (HY-P7058) stimulation) restores TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation in PLpro-expressing HEK293T cells with an EC50 of 44.1 nM, and restores ISRE activation with an EC50 of 265.3 nM[1].
YL1004 (0.002-10 μM; co-treated with poly (I:C) (HY-107202) stimulation) restores poly (I:C)-induced IFNB1 and IRF3 activation in PLpro-expressing HEK293T cells, with EC50 values of 26.5 nM and 206.9 nM, respectively[1].
YL1004 (18-24 h after treatment alongside poly (I:C) stimulation) restores transcription of PLpro-repressed genes involved in innate immunity, autophagy, and mitochondrial stress response in poly (I:C)-stimulated HEK293T cells[1].
YL1004 (0.039-10 μM; 22 h for wildtype/Delta/JN.1, 46 h for KP.3/NSP5-E166V) dose-dependently reduces SARS-CoV-2 sgE RNA levels in infected Calu3 cells[1].
YL1004 (48 h for wildtype/Delta, 72 h for JN.1/KP.3/NSP5-E166V post-infection) potently inhibits infectious SARS-CoV-2 replication, with EC50 values ranging from 0.08 μM to 1.37 μM across wildtype, Delta, Omicron JN.1, Omicron KP.3, and nirmatrelvir-resistant NSP5-E166V recombinant strains[1].
