Many efforts to design and screen therapeutics for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) have focused on inhibiting viral cell entry by disrupting ACE2 binding with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This work focuses on inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 entry through a hypothesized alpha5beta1 integrin-based mechanism, and indicates that inhibiting the spike protein interaction with alpha5beta1 integrin (+/- ACE2), and the interaction between alpha5beta1 integrin and ACE2 using a molecule ATN-161 represents a promising approach to treat COVID-19.Many efforts to design and screen therapeutics for the current severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic have focused on inhibiting viral host cell entry by disrupting angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) binding with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This work focuses on the potential to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry through a hypothesized alpha5beta1 integrin-based mechanism and indicates that inhibiting the spike protein interaction with alpha5beta1 integrin (+/- ACE2) and the interaction between alpha5beta1 integrin and ACE2 using a novel molecule (ATN-161) represents a promising approach to treat coronavirus disease-19.
