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 α5β1 integrin-based mechanism, and indicates that inhibiting the spike protein interaction with α5β1 integrin (+/- ACE2), and the interaction between α5β1 integrin and ACE2 using a molecule ATN-161 represents a p ...[more]
