摘要
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, continues to pose major global health challenges despite extensive vaccination efforts. Variant escape, waning immunity, and reduced vaccine efficacy in immunocompromised populations underscore the urgent need for complementary antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of precision-engineered dermatan sulfate (DS)-mimetic glycopolymers as multi-targeted inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. Guided by molecular docking and virtual screening, sulfation at the C2 and C4 positions of iduronic acid was identified as critical for binding to the viral spike protein and inhibiting host and viral enzymes, including heparanase (HPSE) and main protease (Mpro). Chemically synthesized DS disaccharides were covalently grafted onto polymer scaffolds via a post-modification strategy, yielding glycopolymers with well-defined assembly that form uniform nanoparticles under physiological conditions. Surface plasmon resonance and pseudovirus assays revealed strong binding to the viral spike protein (KD ≈ 177 nM), potent viral neutralization, and minimal cytotoxicity. Cellular uptake studies further demonstrated efficient internalization of nanoparticles and intracellular inhibition of HPSE and Mpro. These results establish a modular, non-anticoagulant, and glycosaminoglycan-mimetic platform for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral agents to complement vaccination and enhance preparedness against emerging coronavirus variants.
