Bergamottin and PAP-1 Induced ACE2 Degradation to Alleviate Infection of SARS-CoV-2

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a functional receptor for SARS-CoV, now appears likely to mediate 2019-nCoV entry into human cells. However, inhibitors such as PAP-1 and bergamottin have been discovered; both of them can preferentially bind to ACE2, prevent RBD Spike S protein from binding t...
