Targeting Papain-Like Protease of Re-Emerging Coronaviruses
Abstract: Re-emerging Corona viruses (CoVs), including SARS-CoV (S-CoVs), and SARS-CoV-2 (S-CoV-2), continue to pose a global health threat due to their high mutation rates, zoonotic spillover potential, and capacity for immune evasion. The global pandemic of year 2019, caused by S-CoV-2, has highlighted the importance for robust antiviral strategies beyond vaccines and RNA polymerase or main protease inhibitors, which are susceptible to resistance. One promising therapeutic target is the S-CoV-2 papain-like …
