Abstract
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a severe and invariably fatal disease affecting both domestic and wild felines with limited effective therapeutic options available. By considering the significant immunomodulatory effects of vitamin E observed in both animal and human models under physiological and pathological conditions, we have provided a full in silico investigation of vitamin E and related compounds and their effect on the crystal structure of feline infectious peritonitis virus 3C-like protease (FIPV-3CLpro). This work revealed the β-tocotrienol and δ-tocotrienol analogs as inhibitor candidates for this protein, suggesting their potential as possible drug compounds against FIP or their supplementary use with current medicines against this disease.
猫传染性腹膜炎（FIP）是一种严重的致命性疾病，家养猫科动物和野生猫科动物都会感染，但有效的治疗方法却很有限。考虑到在动物和人类模型中观察到的维生素 E 在生理和病理条件下的显著免疫调节作用，我们对维生素 E 和相关化合物及其对猫传染性腹膜炎病毒 3C 样蛋白酶（FIPV-3CLpro）晶体结构的影响进行了全面的硅学研究。这项工作揭示了β-生育三烯酚和δ-生育三烯酚类似物作为这种蛋白的候选抑制剂，表明它们有可能成为治疗猫传染性腹膜炎病毒的药物化合物，或与目前治疗这种疾病的药物配合使用。
