Abstract
While each massive pandemic has claimed the lives of millions of vulnerable populations over the centuries, one limitation exists: that the Edisonian approach (human-directed with trial errors) relies on repurposing pharmaceuticals, designing drugs, and herbal remedies with the violation of Lipinski's rule of five druglikeness. It may lead to adverse health effects with long-term health multimorbidity. Nevertheless, declining birth rates and aging populations will likely cause a shift in society due to a shortage of a scientific workforce to defend against the next pandemic incursion. The challenge of combating the ongoing post-COVID-19 pandemic has been exacerbated by the lack of gold standard drugs to deactivate multiple SARS-CoV-2 protein targets. Meanwhile, there are three FDA-approved antivirals, Remdesivir, Molnupiravir, and Paxlovid, with moderate clinical efficacy and drug resistance. There is a pressing need for additional antivirals and prepared omics technology to combat the current and future devastating coronavirus pandemics. While there is a limitation of existing contemporary inhibitors to deactivate viral RNA replication with minimal rotational bonds, one strategy is to create Lipinski inhibitors with less than 10 rotational bonds and precise halogen bond placement to destabilize multiple viral protomers. This work describes the efforts to design gold-standard oral inhibitors of bi- and tri-cyclic catalytic interceptors with electrophilic heads using double-shell deep learning. Here, KS1 with and KS2 compounds designed by lab-on-a-chip technology attain 5-fold novel filtered-Lipinski, GHOSE, VEBER, EGAN, and MUEGGE druglikeness. The graph neural network (GNN) relies on module-initiation, expansion, relabeling atom index, and termination (METORITE) iterations, while the deep neural network (DNN) engages pinning, extraction, convolution, pooling, and flattening (PROOF) operations. The cyclic compound's specific halogen atom location enhances the nitrile catalytic head, which deactivates several viral protein targets. Initiating this lab-on-a-chip that is not susceptible to the aging process for creating clinical compounds can leverage a new path to many valuable drugs with speedy oral drug discovery, especially to defend the loss of vulnerable population and prevent multimorbidity that is susceptible to hidden viral persistence in the continuing aging times. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
