Synthetic organic
Comment: Decanoyl-RVKR-CMK is a cell‐permeable and irreversible inhibitor of proprotein convertase (PC) enzymes [2]. The PC family of serine proteases includes furin. Furin-mediated cleavage of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein 160 (gp160) is essential for fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane [2].
SARS-CoV-2: Decanoyl-RVKR-CMK inhibits cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by furin, at the furin cleavage site, and this translates to an antiviral effect in vitro [1]. |
