Mitoxantrone modulates a heparan sulfate-spike complex to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection
Abstract Spike-mediated entry of SARS-CoV-2 into human airway epithelial cells is an attractive therapeutic target for COVID-19. In addition to protein receptors, the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein also interacts with heparan sulfate, a negatively charged glycosaminoglycan (GAG) attached to certain me...
