Feline coronavirus drug inhibits the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and blocks virus replication

Coronavirus main protease is essential for viral polyprotein processing and replication. Here Vuong et al. report efficient inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication by the dipeptide-based protease inhibitor GC376 and its parent GC373, which were originally used to treat feline coronavirus infection.
