was to test and compare the inhibitory effect of the chemically

difficult-to-synthesize cyclosporines ALV and NIM811 with a
set of drug derivatives 1–5 which result from the chemically
well-tractable side chain in position 1 of CsA. In addition, the
FK506 derivative 6 should provide a first indication of feasibil-
ityofexpandingtheconceptofantiviralnon-immunosuppressive
CypA inhibitors into the field of FKBP inhibitors. Data on the
inhibition of HCoV-NL63 replication were compared with the
immunosuppressive immunophilin binders CsA, CsD and FK506.
AllderivativesinhibitthePPIaseactivityoftheirrespectivebind-
ing proteins thus preventing their catalytic function in assisting
client proteins to fold correctly. When compared with already
knownnon-immunosuppressivedrugs,thenewcompoundswere
not only more easily accessible by chemical synthesis but also
