Coronil effectively inhibits the interaction of clinically relevant Omicron mutants of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins with human ACE2 receptor by Acharya Balkrishna, Rishabh Dev, Sandeep Kumar, Anurag Varshney

“…Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has several times more binding affinity to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor compared to the RBD of the original Covid-19 strain. This increased binding affinity of the Omicron variant is responsible for its increased internalization and infectivity. …”
