Disruption of Spike Priming in Virus Entry: Tetrandrine as a Pan‐Coronavirus Inhibitor

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
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.
