Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread around the world at an unprecedented rate. In the present study, 4 marine sulfated polysaccharides were screened for their inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2, including sea cucumber sulfated polysaccharide (SCSP), fucoidan from brown algae, iota-carrageenan from red algae, and chondroitin sulfate C from sharks (CS). Of them, SCSP, fucoidan, and carrageenan showed significant antiviral activities at concentrations of 3.90-500 μg mL-1. SCSP exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity with IC50 of 9.10 μg mL-1. Furthermore, a test using pseudotype virus with S glycoprotein confirmed that SCSP could bind to the S glycoprotein to prevent SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry. The three antiviral polysaccharides could be employed to treat and prevent COVID-19.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)以空前的速度在全球范围内传播。在本研究中,筛选了 4 种海洋硫酸多糖以评估其对 SARS-CoV-2 的抑制活性,包括海参硫酸多糖(SCSP)、褐藻来源的褐藻胶、红藻来源的角叉菜胶和鲨鱼来源的硫酸软骨素 C(CS)。其中,SCSP、褐藻胶和角叉菜胶在 3.90-500 μg mL-1浓度下表现出显著的抗病毒活性。SCSP 表现出最强的抑制活性,IC50 为 9.10 μg mL-1。此外,使用带有 S 糖蛋白的假型病毒进行的测试证实,SCSP 可以与 S 糖蛋白结合,从而防止 SARS-CoV-2 进入宿主细胞。这三种抗病毒多糖可用于治疗和预防 COVID-19。
