Synthetic Heparan Sulfate Mimetic Pixatimod (PG545) Potently Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 by Disrupting the Spike-ACE2 Interaction

Scott E. Guimond et al.

Summary: This study found that the synthetic HS mimetic pixatimod can interact with the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and directly inhibit its binding to ACE2. The results show that pixatimod can effectively inhibit the infection of multiple clinical isolates of SARS-CoV-2 virus and has broad potency against various variants. In a mouse model, pixatimod also reduces viral titers and weight loss. This study provides strong evidence for the potential use of synthetic HS mimetics as a therapeutic approach for COVID-19.

Summary: GAGs play crucial roles in interacting with various biomolecules in different physiological and pathological contexts. Researchers have provided an overview of GAG-protein interactions and presented a comprehensive network composed of 832 biomolecules (827 proteins and five GAGs) and 932 protein-GAG interactions. This contextualized interactome could potentially identify druggable GAG-protein interactions for therapeutic purposes.

On the Selectivity of Heparan Sulfate Recognition by SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein

John E. Chittum et al.

Summary: This study identified specific sequences of heparan sulfate (HS) oligosaccharides that can act as potent antagonists against SARS-CoV-2, offering potential for developing inhibitors of early viral entry steps. Competitive and virtual screening studies revealed the importance of certain HS structures for selective recognition of the virus receptor-binding domain, suggesting a novel pharmacophore for engineered selectivity. This work highlights the key structural motif in HS that could lead to effective and selective agents against SARS-CoV-2.

Emerging Roles of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Viral Pathogenesis

Raghuram Koganti et al.

Summary: Heparan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan found in mammalian tissues that contributes to the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix and cell signaling, but is also exploited by viruses during infection. Loss or inhibition of heparan sulfate proteoglycans during infection can lead to significant decreases in viral entry and infectivity, affecting multiple viruses such as herpesviruses, HIV, dengue virus, HPV, and coronaviruses.

Structural Insight into Non-Enveloped Virus Binding to Glycosaminoglycan Receptors: A Review

Marie N. Sorin et al.

Summary: Viruses hijack host cell machinery to replicate and generate progeny, initiating infection by attachment to cell receptors like sialylated glycans and glycosaminoglycans. This review focuses on the structural interactions between non-enveloped human viruses and GAGs, highlighting the importance of charged interactions and positively charged amino acids at binding sites. The study discusses the multivalent potential for GAG binding and addresses remaining challenges in the field.

The degree of polymerization and sulfation patterns in heparan sulfate are critical determinants of cytomegalovirus entry into host cells

Dipanwita Mitra et al.

Summary: Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide found in animal tissues that regulates various biological activities by binding to protein ligands. This study reveals that specific sulfations and polymerization of HS play a crucial role in governing human cytomegalovirus (CMV) attachment and infection. The unique sulfated and polymerized HS chains preferentially bind to CMV, offering a potential target for developing HS mimics to inhibit virus infection.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans as Attachment Factor for SARSCoV-2

Lin Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed the binding capability of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with heparan sulfate (HS) and highlighted the potential therapeutic use of HS oligosaccharides. Heparin showed a higher affinity for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein compared to the receptor binding domain (RBD) alone, inhibiting RBD binding to cells. The findings support a model where HS acts as the initial attachment point for the virus to travel through the glycocalyx and engage with ACE2 for cell entry.

Summary: A novel convergent chemoenzymatic synthesis strategy has been established to efficiently synthesize a mimic of heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1, which showed enhanced binding with alpha v beta 3 integrin and stronger inhibition of breast cancer cell migration compared to individual components. This approach could serve as a general method for synthesizing heparan sulfate proteoglycan mimetics.
