Identification of polyphenols as novel neuropilin-1 cendR pocket inhibitors to block SARS-CoV-2 entry and enhance variant resistance

Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) functions as an essential co-receptor for SARS-CoV-2, facilitating viral entry by binding the spike protein’s C-end rule (CendR) motif in its b1 domain, yet it has received less attention than ACE2 in therapeutic development. This in sili…
