Disruption of Spike Priming in Virus Entry: Tetrandrine as a Pan‐Coronavirus Inhibitor
Tetrandrine inhibits the infection of HCoV‐OC43, HCoV‐229E, SARS‐CoV‐2, and its major variants by blocking virus entry. Specifically, tetrandrine breaks the interaction between TMPRSS2 and Spike, therefore suppress its priming and the following membrane fusion, and induces Spike to degradation.

[Ebola virus (Filoviridae: Ebolavirus: Zaire ebolavirus): fatal adaptation mutations].
Ebola virus disease (EVD) (former Ebola hemorrhagic fever) is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases affecting humans and primates. Since the identification of the first outbreak in 1976, there have been more than 25 outbreaks worldwide, the largest of which escalated into an epidemic in 2014-2016 and caused the death of more than 11,000 people.

A Bayesian analysis of birth pulse effects on the probability of detecting Ebola virus in fruit bats
Since 1976 various species of Ebolavirus have caused a series of zoonotic outbreaks and public health crises in Africa. Bats have long been hypothesised to function as important hosts for ebolavirus maintenance, however the transmission ecology for these
