Synthesis and evaluation of carmofur analogs as antiproliferative agents, inhibitors to the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2, and membrane rupture-inducing agents

Abstract Initially developed as a derivatized analog of 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of colorectal cancer, carmofur has more recently demonstrated potent covalent inhibition of the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2. Harnessing our previously described workflow for the optimized preparation of c...
