Abstract
The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 has caused unprecedented panic among all mankind,pointing the major importance of effective treatment.Since the emergence of the swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus(SADS-CoV)at the end of 2017,multiple reports have indicated that the bat-related SADS-CoV possesses a potential threat for cross-species transmission.Vaccines and antiviral drugs development deserve more attention.In this study,we found that the HER2 phosphorylation inhibitor(CP-724714)inhibited SADS-CoV infection in a dose-dependent manner.Further validation demonstrated that CP-724714 affected at the post-entry stage of SADS-CoV infection cycle.Also,efficient SADS-CoV infection required the activation of HER2 and its cascade Ras-Raf-Mek-Erk signaling pathway.In addition,CP-724714 has a broad-spectrum anti-swine diarrhea coronaviruses activity,and can dose-dependently combat SADS-CoV,porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV),porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV)and transmissible gastroenteritis virus(TGEV)infection in vitro with a specificity index of greater than 21.98,9.38,95.23 and 31.62,respectively.These results highlight the potential utility of CP-724714 or antiviral drugs targeting with HER2 and its cascade Ras-Raf-Mek-Erk signaling pathway as host-targeted SADS-CoV and other related coronaviruses therapeutics.
