Molecular mechanism of inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 cell entry facilitator TMPRSS2 with camostat and nafamostat

TL;DR: The binding process of both drugs and a metabolic product of camostat (GBPA) to TMPRSS2, reaching a Michaelis complex (MC) state, which precedes the formation of a long-lived covalent inhibitory state, suggests that nafamostat is more readily available to form the stable covalENT enzyme–substrate intermediate, effectively explaining its high potency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase by ambroxol prevents SARS-CoV-2 entry into epithelial cells.

TL;DR: The acid sphingomyelinase/ceramide system has been shown to be important for cellular infection with at least some viruses, for instance, rhinovirus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus promotes release of virus-like particles from tetherin-positive cells

TL;DR: It is shown that the viral glycoprotein (VSV-G) antagonizes tetherin in transfected cells, although with reduced efficiency as compared to the HIV-1 Vpu protein.
