Many efforts to design and screen therapeutics for the current severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic have focused on inhibiting viral host cell entry by disrupting angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) binding with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This work focuses on the potential to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry through a hypothesized α5β1 integrin-based mechanism and indicates that inhibiting the spike protein interaction with α5β1 integrin (+/- ACE2) and the interaction between α5β1 integrin and ACE2 using a novel molecule (ATN-161) represents a promising approach to treat coronavirus disease-19.
为应对当前的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)大流行,许多设计和筛选治疗方法的努力都集中在通过破坏血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)与SARS-CoV-2刺突蛋白的结合来抑制病毒进入宿主细胞。这项研究聚焦于通过一种基于α5β1整合素的假定机制来抑制SARS-CoV-2进入的潜力,并表明使用一种新型分子(ATN-161)抑制刺突蛋白与α5β1整合素(±ACE2)的相互作用以及α5β1整合素与ACE2之间的相互作用,是一种治疗冠状病毒病19的有前景的方法。
