 The first ester-based compounds to be developed were benzotriazole ester-based and irreversibly acylated the C145 within the active site [93]. Next, chloropyridine-esters were tested and found to have potent inhibitory activity against nsp5. CE-5 is one of the chloropeptidyl esters that has been extensively studied and shown to have broad activity across several CoVs.
