SARS-CoV-2 NSP15 Inhibitors: Thymopentin and Oleuropein
2026-09-10
A 2021 structure-based screening study identified thymopentin and oleuropein as the most favorable predicted binders of SARS-CoV-2 NSP15, an endoribonuclease involved in viral immune evasion. Molecular dynamics simulations supported the persistence of both complexes, but biochemical, cellular, and in vivo validation remain necessary before these compounds can be considered antiviral inhibitors.
