| Peptide Source: | Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) : 31631 |
| Source Description: | Peptide OC43-HR2P was derived from the HR2 domain of HCoV-OC43. EK1 was the optimized form of OC43-HR2P. |
| Against Virus: | Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) : 11137 |
| Inhibition Value Type: | IC50 |
| Inhibitory Effect: | 0.69 |
| Inhibitory Unit: | µM |
| Target Domain Name: | HR1 domain of HCoV-229E |
| Assay: | Cytopathic effect assay |
| Assay Description: | The inhibitory activity of the tested peptide against 229E replication in A549 cells was evaluated. Briefly, 100 TCID50 of 229E was mixed with a test peptide at graded concentration and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The mixture was then applied in triplicate onto the monolayer of A549 cells grown in a 96-well microtiter plate. On day 5 after infection, viral titer in the culture medium was tested, and TCID50 was calculated on the basis of the cytopathic effect (CPE). |

| Reference: | 30989115 |
| Comment: | We found that peptide OC43-HR2P, derived from the HR2 domain of HCoV-OC43, exhibited broad fusion inhibitory activity against multiple HCoVs. EK1, the optimized form of OC43-HR2P, showed substantially improved pan-CoV fusion inhibitory activity and pharmaceutical properties. Crystal structures indicated that EK1 can form a stable six-helix bundle structure with both short-HCoV and long-HCoV HR1s, further supporting the role of HR1 region as a viable pan-CoV target site. |
