Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, and specifically relates to an application of a small molecule compound Y020-0023 in anti-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Background Art

[0002] The new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), belongs to the betavirus genus of the Coronaviridae family and is a linear positive-strand RNA virus. Studies have found that SARS-CoV-2 is adjacent to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-like groups in the evolutionary tree. The new coronavirus has four main structural proteins: spike protein (S protein), nucleocapsid protein (N protein), membrane protein (M protein), and envelope protein (E protein). Among them, the spike protein is an important structural protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and plays a key role in the process of the virus infecting host cells. It can bind to the receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the surface of the host cell to mediate the virus's entry into the cell.

[0003] The human diseases caused by coronavirus are mainly respiratory infections, but they may also cause intestinal infections and neurological symptoms. Human coronavirus was isolated in 1965, but its understanding is still quite limited, and the serotype and antigenic variability of coronavirus are still unclear. In addition, coronavirus can be repeatedly infected, indicating that there are multiple serotypes and antigenic variations. There are currently no specific preventive and therapeutic drugs. Only in experimental studies have it been found that azathiouracil, ribavirin, etc. have a significant inhibitory effect on coronavirus, but the above-mentioned drugs have some adverse reactions after taking them, and with the mutation of the virus and the emergence of new strains, the antiviral effects of these traditional chemical drugs are greatly reduced. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new small molecule compounds that resist SARS-CoV-2 infection in this field. Summary of the invention
