The anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties of anionic pulmonary surfactant phospholipids

Mari Numata et al.

Summary: The pulmonary surfactant system is a complex of lipids and proteins that regulates the properties of the alveoli and the immune system in the lung. The main components, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI), have been found to inhibit inflammatory responses and have antiviral effects against respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.

Adsorption of SARS-CoV-2 Spike (N501Y) RBD to Human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 at a Lipid/Water Interface

Harison Rozak et al.

Summary: The receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike proteins plays a crucial role in the attachment of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2. Mutations in the spike RBD, such as N501Y, result in higher transmissibility by enhancing the binding with negatively charged ACE2. This study investigates the adsorption of ACE2 and spike (N501Y) RBD at a lipid/water interface and provides insights into their interaction in a lipid matrix.

Synthetic Peptides That Antagonize the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE-2) Interaction with SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Spike Protein

Afsaneh Sadremomtaz et al.

Summary: This study identified hotspot interactions on ACE2 using protein contact atlas data and molecular dynamics simulations. Discontinuous peptides were designed based on these interactions and showed high efficacy in inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 infection. These peptides, with strong binding affinity to S-RBD, hold potential as efficient therapeutic treatment for COVID-19.

Emulation of the structure of the Saposin protein fold by a lung surfactant peptide construct of surfactant Protein B

Alan J. Waring et al.

Summary: The three-dimensional structure of the synthetic lung Surfactant Protein B Peptide Super Mini-B was determined using mass spectrometry and isotope enhanced Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Analysis confirmed the correct folding and disulfide pairing using oxidative structure-promoting solvent systems. The residue-specific analysis indicated well-defined alpha-helical sequences in the N-terminal and C-terminal domains. Molecular dynamics simulation further refined the structure and revealed a helical hairpin structure resembling critical elements of the predicted full-length Surfactant Protein B structure.

Structural and functional stability of the sulfur-free surfactant protein B peptide mimic B-YL in synthetic surfactant lipids

Frans J. Walther et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the structural and functional stability of the B-YL peptide in synthetic surfactant lipids after three years of storage at 5 degrees C, with no degradation observed in mass spectrometry analysis and stable alpha-helical conformations identified in ATR-FTIR studies. In vitro surface activity on captive bubble surfactometry and in vivo surface activity in surfactant-deficient young adult rabbits were excellent after the prolonged storage period, indicating that the B-YL surfactant maintained its integrity and functionality over time.

Biophysical properties of the isolated spike protein binding helix of human ACE2

Anirban Das et al.

Summary: Research on the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and human cells has revealed that the human ACE2 receptor, a key binding site for the virus, has different affinity levels compared to the viral spike protein. A short helical peptide, SBP1, targeted at a binding interface of the ACE2 receptor shows good solubility but lacks stable helical structure and tends to oligomerize, resulting in low affinity to the spike protein. Efforts to enhance the peptide's binding affinity have been hampered not only by the lack of helicity, but also by the previously unrecognized issue of oligomerization.

Use of exogenous pulmonary surfactant in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): Role in SARS-CoV-2-related lung injury

Francesco Cattel et al.

Summary: Studies show that exogenous pulmonary surfactant has clinical efficacy in treating inflammatory lung diseases, particularly ARDS. COVID-19 interferes with the production and secretion of pulmonary surfactant, leading to increased surface tension in alveoli. Therefore, the use of pulmonary surfactant in COVID-19-associated ARDS patients can be beneficial, especially when applied early in treatment strategies against pulmonary failure.

Surfactant therapy for COVID-19 related ARDS: a retrospective case-control pilot study

Simone Piva et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that surfactant delivery through bronchoscopy at a dose of 720 mg in 150 ml normal saline is feasible and safe for COVID-19 ARDS patients. Surfactant administration did not cause acute decompensation, may reduce mortality and mechanical ventilation duration in COVID-19 ARDS patients. This supports the need for future randomized clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of meticulous sub-bronchial lavage with surfactant for COVID-19 ARDS patients.
