The antineoplastic drug Carmofur was shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 main protease 24 (M pro ). Here the X-ray crystal structure of M pro in complex with Carmofur reveals that 25 the carbonyl reactive group of Carmofur is covalently bound to catalytic Cys145, 26 whereas its fatty acid tail occupies the hydrophobic S2 subsite. Here, we present the 1.6 Å X-ray crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 M pro in complex 49 with Carmofur (Fig. 1b, domain II feature the catalytic dyad residues Cys145 and His41 (Fig. 1c, d) . Here we determined the inhibitory 94 effect of Carmofur against SARS-CoV-2 infection on Vero E6 cells, as previously 95 described 20 (Fig. 2) . ./cache/cord-297044-tpp40j0g.txt ./txt/cord-297044-tpp40j0g.txt
