in vitro biophysical assay; HT1080/ACE2 cells; A549/ACE2 cells; Vero E6 cells; Sars-CoV-2 pseudovirus single-cycle assay; authentic SARS-CoV-2 strain US_WA-1/2020 6.78

Bound SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD in vitro with binding constant of 2.2 μM. Inhibited SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus in a single-cycle assay with IC50 of ca. 1.97 μM and 2.8 μM in HT1080/ACE2 and A549/ACE2 cells, respectively. The peptide was stable in human plasma ex vivo. Completely blocked SARS-CoV-2-induced cytopathic effect in Vero E6 cells at ca. 33 μM.
