Inhibitory activity of a sulfated oligo-porphyran from Pyropia yezoensis against SARS-CoV-2
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has spread around the world at an unprecedented rate. A more homogeneous oligo-porphyran with mean molecular weight of 2.1 kD, named OP145, was separated from Pyropia yezoensis. NMR analysis showed OP145 was mainly composed of →3)-β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-α-l-Gal (6S) repeating...

Sumario: | COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has spread around the world at an unprecedented rate. A more homogeneous oligo-porphyran with mean molecular weight of 2.1 kD, named OP145, was separated from Pyropia yezoensis. NMR analysis showed OP145 was mainly composed of →3)-β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-α-l-Gal (6S) repeating units with few replacement of 3,6-anhydride, and the molar ratio was 1:0.85:0.11. MALDI-TOF MS revealed OP145 contained mainly tetrasulfate-oligogalactan with Dp range from 4 to 10 and with no more than two 3,6-anhydro-α-l-Gal replacement. The inhibitory activity of OP145 against SARS-CoV-2 was investigated in vitro and in silico. OP145 could bind to Spike glycoprotein (S-protein) through SPR result, and pseudovirus tests confirmed that OP145 could inhibite the infection with an EC50 of 37.52 μg/mL. Molecular docking simulated the interaction between the main component of OP145 and S-protein. All the results indicated that OP145 had the potency to treat and prevent COVID-19. |
