Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. The coronavirus 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) controls virus replication and is therefore considered a major target and promising opportunity for rational-based antiviral discovery with direct acting agents. Here we review first-generation SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitors PF-07304814, GC-376, and CDI-45205 that are being delivered either by injection or inhalation due to their low intrinsic oral bioavailability. In addition, PF-073
