Protein Details
Mpro, a cysteine protease plays a critical role in viral protein maturation by cleaning proproteins after their translation into the host cell cytosol. The inhibition of viral protease can reduce the assembly of mature viral particles.
Ligand Details
DB02388 compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylimidazoles. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring linked to an imidazole ring through a CC or CN bond, Cobicistat is a CYP3A inhibitor used to increase the systemic exposure of atazanavir or darunavir in combination with other antiretroviral agents
