K5 polysaccharides inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection by preventing spike-proteolytic priming

Maria Milanesi, Chiara Urbinati, Liv Zimmermann…·Giulia Paiardi

This study shows K5 polysaccharides inhibit SARS-CoV-2 by blocking spike binding to ACE2 and furin cleavage, with K5OSH showing stronger antiviral activity than heparin.

The accomplices: Heparan sulfates and N-glycans foster SARS-CoV-2 spike:ACE2 receptor binding and virus priming

Giulia Paiardi, Matheus Ferraz, Marco Rusnati, Rebecca C. Wade

This paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that heparan sulfate and N-glycans stabilize the SARS-CoV-2 spike:ACE2 complex and promote viral entry by triggering structural changes.
