    Abstract

    Viruses are the major aetiological agents of acute and chronic severe human diseases that place a tremendous burden on global public health and economy; however, for most viruses, effective prophylactics and therapeutics are lacking, in particular, broad-spectrum antiviral agents. Herein, we identified 2 secreted bacterial lipases from a Chromobacterium bacterium, named Chromobacterium antiviral effector-1 (CbAE-1) and CbAE-2, with a broad-spectrum virucidal activity against dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV). The CbAEs potently blocked viral infection in the extracellular milieu through their lipase activity. Mechanistic studies showed that this lipase activity directly disrupted the viral envelope structure, thus inactivating infectivity. A mutation of CbAE-1 in its lipase motif fully abrogated the virucidal ability. Furthermore, CbAE-2 presented low toxicity in vivo and in vitro, highlighting its potential as a broad-spectrum antiviral drug.

Here, we show that the ribonucleoside analog β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC; EIDD-1931) has broad-spectrum antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and related zoonotic group 2b or 2c bat-CoVs, as well as increased potency against a CoV bearing resistance mutations to the nucleoside analog inhibitor remdesivir. In mice infected with SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV, both prophylactic and therapeutic administration of EIDD-2801, an orally bioavailable NHC prodrug (β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine-5′-isopropyl ester), improved pulmonary function and reduced virus titer and body weight loss. Decreased MERS-CoV yields in vitro and in vivo were associated with increased transition mutation frequency in viral, but not host cell RNA, supporting a mechanism of lethal mutagenesis in CoV. The potency of NHC/EIDD-2801 against multiple CoVs and oral bioavailability highlights its potential utility as an effective antiviral against SARS-CoV-2 and other future zoonotic CoVs.

Sidhu doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.05.137349 Abstract Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of enveloped, RNA viruses that circulate in mammals and birds but have crossed the species barrier to infect humans seven times. Of these, three pathogenic strains have caused zoonotic infections in humans that result in severe respiratory syndromes including the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV), and now SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses, the latter of which is the cause of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, we describe a panel of synthetic monoclonal antibodies, built on a human framework, that bind SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, compete for binding with ACE2, and potently inhibit infection by SARS-CoV-2. These antibodies were found to have a range of neutralization potencies against live virus infection in Vero E6 cells, potently inhibiting authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus at sub-nanomolar concentrations. These antibodies represent strong immunotherapeutic candidates for treatment of COVID-19. Competing Interest Statement S.S, P.P.P and S.J, are cofounders of Virna Therapeutics.
