Abstract: El SARS-CoV-2 és el virus responsable de la pandèmia de la COVID-19. Aquest treball pretén reposicionar els fàrmacs aprovats com a inhibidors putatius d'una diana amb un paper fonamental en la replicació del virus: la proteasa principal (M-pro). Aquí, es va aplicar una estratègia de cribratge virtual (VS) basada en l'acoblament de consens original. L'acoblament es va realitzar amb tres programes –Glide, FRED i AutoDock Vina– i només els modes d'unió d'alta afinitat equivalents predits per tots ells es van considerar posicions bioactives. Es van predir set possibles inhibidors del SARS-CoV-2 M-pro: Perampanel, Carprofen, Celecoxib, Alprazolam, Trovafloxacin, Serafloxacin i Etil biscumacetat. Quatre d'ells han mostrat bioactivitat in vitro. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. This work aims to reposition approved drugs as putative inhibitors of a target with a pivotal role in the replication of the virus: the main protease (M-pro). Here, an original consensus docking-based virtual screening (VS) strategy was applied. Docking was performed with three programs –Glide, FRED and AutoDock Vina– and only the equivalent high affinity binding modes predicted by all of them were considered bioactive poses. Seven possible SARS-CoV-2 M-pro inhibitors were predicted: Perampanel, Carprofen, Celecoxib, Alprazolam, Trovafloxacin, Serafloxacin and Ethyl biscoumacetate. Four of them have shown in vitro bioactivity.
