Cover Story: The Mpro enzyme is a validated target for developing SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs. A number of Mpro enzyme inhibitors, currently discovered, bear an electrophilic warhead, able to form a covalent bond with the active site cysteine residue, linked to a peptidic/peptidomimetic structure interacting with the non-prime subsites of the enzyme. We developed a computational protocol based on molecular docking, molecular dynamics, FEP, and covalent docking approaches for the evaluation of newly designed Mpro inhibitors. The results of our investigation highlighted that bifunctional warheads, engaging both prime and non-prime subsites of the active site, coupled to covalent reversible electrophilic warheads, could be exploited for expanding our armamentarium of Mpro inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2.
