This report covers academic small-molecule drug development with a view to distilling guidelines. The first section covers research productivity feeding into commercial development before reviewing the literature on statistics of academic development It then considers differences between probes and drugs before discussing the role of author guidelines in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology journals. Resources for comprehensive compound and target cross-checking are then covered followed by comparisons between public and commercial databases including case studies of selected compounds. It concludes with an outline of new scientific developments that could increase the success rate of academic drug development.

Coronaviruses cause diseases in humans and livestock. The SARS-CoV-2 is infecting millions of human beings, with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The main protease (Mpro) of coronavirus plays a pivotal role in viral replication and transcription, which, in theory, is an attractive drug target for antiviral drug development. It has been extensively discussed whether Xanthohumol is able to help COVID-19 patients. Here, we report that Xanthohumol, a small molecule in clinical trials from hops (Humulus lupulus), was a potent pan-inhibitor for various coronaviruses by targeting Mpro, for example, betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (IC50 value of 1.53 μM), and alphacoronavirus PEDV (IC50 value of 7.51 μM). Xanthohumol inhibited Mpro activities in the enzymatical assays, while pretreatment with Xanthohumol restricted the SARS-CoV-2 and PEDV replication in Vero-E6 cells. Therefore, Xanthohumol is a potent pan-inhibitor of coronaviruses and an excellent lead compound for further drug development.
