In the search for inhibitors of COVID-19, we have targeted the interaction between the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and the spike receptor binding domain (S1-RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. Virtual screening of a library of natural compounds identified Kobophenol A as a potential inhibitor. Kobophenol A was then found to block the interaction between the ACE2 receptor and S1-RBD <i>in vitro</i> with an IC<sub>50</sub> of 1.81 ± 0.04 μM and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 viral infection in cells ...[more]
