Cross-linking peptide and repurposed drugs inhibit both entry pathways of SARS-CoV-2

Until today effective antivirals for COVID-19 treatment are not widely available. Here, Zhao et al. characterize a dual-functional cross-linking peptide, 8P9R, that can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 virus entry in vitro and suppresses viral replication in vivo in golden Syrian hamster.
