Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a fatal respiratory illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The identification of potential drugs is urgently needed to control the pandemic. RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a conserved protein within RNA viruses and plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle, thus making it an attractive target for development of antiviral drugs. In this study, 101 quinoline and quinazoline derivatives were screened against SARS-CoV-2 RdRp using a cell-based assay. Three compounds I-13e, I-13h, and I-13i exhibit remarkable potency in inhibiting RNA synthesis driven by SARS-CoV-2 RdRp and relatively low cytotoxicity. Among these three compounds, I-13e showed the strongest inhibition upon RNA synthesis driven by SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, the resistance to viral exoribonuclease activity and the inhibitory effect on the replication of CoV, thus holding potential of being drug candidate for treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
