A high-throughput screen for TMPRSS2 expression identifies FDA-approved compounds that can limit SARS-CoV-2 entry

The serine protease TMPRSS2 primes SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein for cell entry. Here, the authors perform a screen to identify drugs that reduce TMPRSS2 expression and find that halofuginone modulates proteasome-mediated degradation of TMPRSS2 and reduces entry of SARS-CoV-2.
