Peptidomimetic Phenoxymethyl Ketone Warheads as Potent Dual-Mode Inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 M<sup>pro</sup> and Cathepsin.

Although our predicted Michaelis complexes indicate some gain in affinity for the PMK warhead with an increasing trend from Mpro ≪ hCTSL < hCTSB, we hypothesize that the electron-withdrawing nature of the PMK warhead is the major driver of potency.

Interestingly, we observed a clear trend in activity (primary > secondary > tertiary alcohol) that was not in line with the earlier observed trend applying to γ-lactam parent compounds.
