Inhibitory effects of recombinant human cystatin C on human coronaviruses
(1991) In Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 35(11). p.2444-2446- Abstract
Cystatin C, a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases such as papain and cathepsin B, was examined for its effect on human coronaviruses OC43 and 229e. Both viruses were greater than 99% inhibited by 0.1 mM inhibitor. Endpoint titrations showed that inhibiting activity paralleled that of leupeptin, a serine and cysteine protease inhibitor, and indicated that 1 to 2 microM inhibitor, slightly above physiologic levels, was effective.
