[69] Disulfiram can inhibit MERS and SARS coronavirus papain-like proteases via different modes Lin et al Taiwan 2018 (In vitro)Note. (PLpros)= Papain-like proteases MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV – act as a potential anti-viral target for drugsMultiple inhibition assays also support a kinetic mechanism by which disulfiram together with 6TG and/or MPA can synergistically inhibit MERS-CoV PLpro, but not, due to its competitive mode of inhibition, SARS-CoV PLpro.Synergistic inhibition of MERS-CoV PLpro by disulfiram and 6-thioguanine or mycophenolic acid implies the potential for combination treatments using these three clinically available drugs.
