Thiopurines inhibit coronavirus Spike protein processing and incorporation into progeny virions.

Thiopurines inhibit coronavirus Spike protein processing and incorporation into progeny virions.

There is an outstanding need for broadly acting antiviral drugs to combat emerging viral diseases. Here, we report that thiopurines inhibit the replication of the betacoronaviruses HCoV-OC43 and SARS-CoV-2. 6-Thioguanine (6-TG) disrupted early stages of infection, limiting accumulation of full-lengt...
