Provided herein are compounds of Formula (I), their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and their pharmaceutical compositions: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3a, R.sup.3b, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and A are defined in the present disclosure. The compounds are potent inhibitors of the main protease (M.sup.pro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), and they are useful in treating or preventing COVID-19 in a subject.

Binding of the transcriptional co-activator, YAP1, to the transcription factor Oct4, induces Sox2, which is a transcription actor necessary for the self-renewal of stem-like cells from non-small cell lung cancer. The WW domain of YAP1 binds to the PPxY motif of Oct4 to induce Sox2. Delivering a peptide corresponding to the WW domain could prevent the induction of Sox2 and sternness. Similarly, peptides and mimetics of the PPxY motif would be able to inhibit sternness. Disclosed are compounds that affect the Yap1:Oct4 interaction.

The present disclosure relates to compounds of formulas (A) and (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and solvates of any of the foregoing, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, methods of preparing the same, intermediate compounds useful for preparing the same, and methods for treating or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular cancer, such as colorectal cancer, using the same.
