Invalidating betulinic acid as a potential inhibitor against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 via combined approaches
In contrast to an earlier study reporting that betulinic acid is an inhibitor of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro), we demonstrated that beutilinic acid is not a potential Mpro inhibitor via combined approaches, including the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay, the fluorescence polarization (FP) assay, and the protease biosensor cleavage assay. Our results suggest that the addition of detergent to the assay buffers is essential for evaluating natural products as Mpro inhibitors. It is necessary to conduct comprehensive testing of Mpro inhibition via combined approaches for antiviral development.
期刊介绍:
STEROIDS is an international research journal devoted to studies on all chemical and biological aspects of steroidal moieties. The journal focuses on both experimental and theoretical studies on the biology, chemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism, molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology of steroids and other molecules that target or regulate steroid receptors. Manuscripts presenting clinical research related to steroids, steroid drug development, comparative endocrinology of steroid hormones, investigations on the mechanism of steroid action and steroid chemistry are all appropriate for submission for peer review. STEROIDS publishes both original research and timely reviews. For details concerning the preparation of manuscripts see Instructions to Authors, which is published in each issue of the journal.
