Abstract

Predictions generated by evolutionary docking of star-shaped ligands targeting the prefusion state of Omicron variants are described here. For this, one selected star-shaped molecule previously identified with the seeSAR program, was used as parent to randomly generate made-on-demand large children libraries evolutionary selected for best fitting to the Omicron spike top-to-bottom inner-cavity with the DataWarrior subprogram. The generated children docking-scores were consensed by AutoDockVina ranks normalized by molecular size and hydrophobicity. These explorations identified one new main chemotype and variants with improved specificity and exceptional nanomolar affinities, predicting aqueous soluble molecules targeting the prefusion state of Omicron spike inner-cavity of trimeric alpha-helices.
