Patent number: 11963955Abstract: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has emerged as an ongoing global pandemic. Presently, there are no clinically approved vaccines nor drugs for COVID-19. Hence, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of effective antivirals. One or more members of the 8-Hydroxyquinoline and Benzylamine structural classes inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection induced cytopathic effect in vitro, inhibited the exopeptidase activity of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and disrupted the binding between ACE2 and the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Texas Southern UniversityInventor: Omonike A.
