Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a functional receptor for SARS-CoV, now appears likely to mediate 2019-nCoV entry into human cells. However, inhibitors such as PAP-1 and bergamottin have been discovered; both of them can preferentially bind to ACE2, prevent RBD Spike S protein from binding to ACE2, and reduce the binding sites for RBD Spike S protein. In addition, we investigated the binding energy of PAP-1 and bergamottin with ACE2 through molecular docking with bio-layer interferometry (BLI) and found relatively high binding affinity (KD = 48.5 nM, 53.1 nM) between the PAP-1 and bergamottin groups. In addition, the nanomolar fraction had no effect on growth of the AT-II cell, but 150 µM PAP-1 and 75 µM bergamottin inhibited the proliferation of AT-II cells in vitro by 75% and 68%, respectively. Meanwhile, they significantly reduced ACE2 mRNA and proteins by 67%, 58% and 55%, 41%, respectively. These results indicate that psoralen compounds PAP-1 and bergamottin binding to ACE2 protein could be further developed in the fight against COVID-19 infection during the current pandemic. However, attention should be paid to the damage to human alveolar type II epithelial cells.
