Broad spectrum post-entry inhibitors of coronavirus replication: Cardiotonic steroids and monensin
Description
A small molecule screen identified several cardiotonic steroids (digitoxin and ouabain) and the ionophore monensin as potent inhibitors of HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, and SARS-CoV-2 replication with EC(50)s in the low nM range. Subsequent tests confirmed
