Pentosan Polysulfate Inhibits Attachment and Infection by SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro: Insights into Structural Requirements for Binding

Sabrina Bertini et al.

Summary: The study found that the plant-derived, semi-synthetic polysaccharide, pentosan polysulfate (PPS), has the potential to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, with better tolerability and weaker anticoagulant effects compared to heparin. Experimental results showed that PPS can inhibit the invasion of SARS-CoV-2 in cells, suggesting its potential application as a novel inhibitor of the virus.

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.

Antiviral Disaccharide Lead Compounds against SARS-CoV-2 through Computer-Aided High-Throughput Screen

Binjie Li et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infects human epithelial cells by interacting with ACE2 and binding to host cells is facilitated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Mutated strains, especially the Omicron variant, show increased affinity for ACE2, resulting in immune escape. This study identified two disaccharides with higher binding affinity to the spike RBD of SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron variant compared to small molecule antiviral drugs. In addition, these disaccharides showed potential interactions with multiple inflammatory cytokines.

Spike-heparan sulfate interactions in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Fiona L. Kearns et al.

Summary: Heparan sulfate, a major component of the cellular glycocalyx, plays a crucial role in the infection cycle of SARS-CoV-2. It facilitates the open conformation of the spike protein, enabling its binding to ACE2. The coordination between viral and host glycans on the spike protein is essential for the binding and subsequent infection.

Conformational dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike glycoprotein in complex with receptor ACE2 revealed by cryo-EM

Cong Xu et al.

Summary: The recent global health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is mediated by the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike glycoprotein and the human ACE2 receptor. The SARS-CoV-2 S trimer is more sensitive to ACE2 receptor compared to SARS-CoV S trimer, potentially contributing to its superior infectivity. Research findings depict the mechanism of ACE2-induced conformational transitions in S trimer structure, aiding in the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and therapeutics.

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.
