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.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Liver fibrosis, a progressive condition driven by chronic liver injury and excessive scar tissue formation, can lead to cirrhosis, a life‐threatening disease. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is central to fibrosis progression, yet current therapies fail to halt or reverse this process.
