In addition to vaccines, antiviral drugs are essential in order to suppress COVID-19. Although some inhibitor candidates have been determined to target the SARS-CoV-2 protein, there is still an urgent need to continue researching novel inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease 'Omicron P132H', a protein that has recently been discovered. In the present study, in the search for therapeutic alternatives to treat COVID-19 and its recent variants, we conducted a structure-based virtual screening using docking studies for a new series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one derivatives 5-13, which were synthesized from the condensation reaction of pyrazolopyrimidinone-hydrazide (4) with a series of electrophiles. Some significant ADMET predictions-in addition to the docking results-were obtained based on the types of interactions formed and the binding energy values were compared to the reference anti- SARS-CoV-2 redocked drug nirmatrelvir.
