An effective antiviral drug against SARS-CoV-2, suitable for oral administration following high-risk exposure, would provide significant benefits in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we demonstrate that the oral nucleoside analog MK-4482 can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in a Syrian hamster model. In a high-risk exposure model, inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication was observed when MK-4482 treatment was initiated either 12 hours before or 12 hours after infection. These data support the potential utility of MK-4482 in controlling human SARS-CoV-2 infection following high-risk exposure and in treating patients with COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\"; --primary-color:#1e57c9; --secondary-color:#ffffff;\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_size_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_size_normal&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;},&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-021-22580-8#Sec4\" target=\"_self\" class=\"bt_bb_link\" title=\"Obtain the Data from This Document\"><span class=\"bt_bb_button_text\" >Obtain the Data from This Document<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_border_color_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_large\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-3 col-xl-3 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_column_background_image bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_details_left-inner bt_bb_details-color_grey\" style=\"background-image:url(&#039;https:\/\/deepfda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/inner_services_02.jpg&#039;);; --column-width:3;\" data-width=\"3\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><\/section><section id=\"bt_bb_section6a40610112c8b\" class=\"bt_bb_section bt_bb_color_scheme_16 bt_bb_layout_wide bt_bb_vertical_align_top\" style=\"; --section-primary-color:#191919; --section-secondary-color:#eaeef3;\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_port\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row bt_bb_row_push_right bt_bb_row_push_left bt_bb_content_wide bt_bb_row_width_boxed_1200 bt_bb_row_width_boxed  bt_bb_animation_fade_in move_right animate\"  data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_holder\" ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-3 col-xl-3 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left btLazyLoadBackground bt_bb_column_background_image bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_details_right-inner bt_bb_details-color_white\" style=\"position: relative;background-image:url(&#039;https:\/\/deepfda.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/bold-page-builder\/img\/blank.gif&#039;);; --column-width:3;\" data-background_image_src='https:\/\/deepfda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/inner_services_01.jpg' data-width=\"3\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 bt_bb_vertical_align_middle bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_20\" style=\"background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);; --column-width:6;\" data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_border_color_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_large\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><header class=\"bt_bb_headline bt_bb_dash_none bt_bb_superheadline bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_align_inherit\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><h3 class=\"bt_bb_headline_tag\"><span class=\"bt_bb_headline_superheadline\">Nature Journal<\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_headline_content\"><span>Antibody Resistance of SARS-CoV-2 Variants B.1.351 and B.1.1.7<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/header><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a widespread global impact, and its pathogen, SARS-CoV-2, continues to spread. Effective interventions are needed to end this pandemic. Monotherapies and combination therapies with monoclonal antibodies have been granted emergency use authorization, and more treatments are under development. Additionally, several vaccine platforms have shown promise, with two vaccines demonstrating about 95% efficacy in protecting against COVID-19. However, these interventions target the original SARS-CoV-2 virus that emerged in 2019. Recently, the SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 detected in the UK and South Africa, respectively, have raised concerns due to their reported increased transmissibility and extensive mutations in the spike protein.\n\nHere, we show that B.1.1.7 is resistant to the neutralizing effects of most monoclonal antibodies targeting the N-terminal domain of the spike protein and is relatively resistant to a few monoclonal antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain. However, it does not show increased resistance to plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients or sera from individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. The B.1.351 variant is not only resistant to the neutralizing activity of most monoclonal antibodies targeting the N-terminal domain, but it is also resistant to multiple individual monoclonal antibodies targeting the receptor-binding motif in the receptor-binding domain, primarily due to the E484K mutation. Additionally, compared to the wild-type SARS-CoV-2, B.1.351 shows significantly higher resistance to neutralization by convalescent plasma (9.4-fold) and sera from vaccinated individuals (10.3 to 12.4-fold).\n\nB.1.351 and emerging variants with similar mutations in the spike protein present new challenges for monoclonal antibody therapies and threaten the protective efficacy of current vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_border_color_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_small\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\"; --primary-color:#1e57c9; --secondary-color:#ffffff;\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_size_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_size_normal&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;},&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-021-03398-2\" target=\"_self\" class=\"bt_bb_link\" title=\"Obtain the Data from This Document\"><span class=\"bt_bb_button_text\" >Obtain the Data from This Document<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_border_color_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_large\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-3 col-xl-3 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_details_left bt_bb_details-color_white\" style=\"; --column-width:3;\" data-width=\"3\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><\/section><section id=\"bt_bb_section6a40610113292\" class=\"bt_bb_section bt_bb_color_scheme_2 bt_bb_layout_wide bt_bb_vertical_align_top\" style=\"; --section-primary-color:#191919; --section-secondary-color:#ffffff;\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_port\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row bt_bb_row_push_right bt_bb_row_push_left bt_bb_content_wide bt_bb_row_width_boxed_1200 bt_bb_row_width_boxed  bt_bb_animation_fade_in move_left animate\"  data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_holder\" ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-3 col-xl-3 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_details_right bt_bb_details-color_grey\" style=\"position: relative;; --column-width:3;\" data-width=\"3\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 bt_bb_color_scheme_16 bt_bb_vertical_align_middle bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_20 bt_bb_details-color_white\" style=\"; --column-primary-color:#191919; --column-secondary-color:#eaeef3;; --column-width:6;\" data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_border_color_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_large\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><header class=\"bt_bb_headline bt_bb_dash_none bt_bb_superheadline bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_align_inherit\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><h3 class=\"bt_bb_headline_tag\"><span class=\"bt_bb_headline_superheadline\">Nature Journal<\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_headline_content\"><span>The sex of Syrian hamsters is related to susceptibility and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/header><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<p>Epidemiological studies on COVID-19 patients indicate a male bias in pulmonary disease outcomes. To experimentally validate these epidemiological findings, we conducted animal studies by infecting male and female Syrian hamsters with SARS-CoV-2. Notably, male hamsters exhibited significant symptoms such as weight loss, lethargy, piloerection, hunching, and abdominal breathing, along with severe pneumonia, pulmonary edema, consolidation, and fibrosis, with high viral titers detected in nasal washes. In contrast, female hamsters had much lower viral titers, exhibited milder symptoms, and showed relatively less severe lung pathology. The marked differences in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and severity of pulmonary pathogenesis between male and female hamsters provide experimental evidence that the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 is associated with sex.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\";

Clinical signs such as labored breathing, weight loss, and progression from the initial exudative phase of diffuse alveolar damage with extensive apoptosis to a later proliferative phase involving tissue repair were observed. These phases were associated with airway and intestinal involvement, expression of viral nucleocapsid protein, high viral loads in the lungs, and histopathological changes in the spleen. The most pronounced clinical symptoms during the first week of viral attack were linked to lymphoid atrophy associated with significant chemokine\/cytokine activation. Average lung viral titers ranged between 10^5 and 10^7 TCID50\/g. Challenged index hamsters consistently infected naive contact hamsters housed in the same cage, resulting in similar pathology but without weight loss. All infected hamsters recovered by 14 days post-challenge, developing mean serum neutralizing antibody titers of \u22651:427. Passive immunization with early convalescent-phase serum significantly reduced lung viral loads but did not significantly mitigate lung pathology. No consistent nonsynonymous adaptive mutations were detected in the virus isolated from infected hamsters.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\";

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) serves as the cellular entry receptor for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Here, we infected transgenic mice expressing human ACE2 (referred to as hACE2 mice) with SARS-CoV-2 and studied the pathogenicity of the virus. We observed weight loss and viral replication in the lungs of hACE2 mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. The typical histopathology was interstitial pneumonia, with a significant infiltration of macrophages and lymphocytes into the alveolar interstitium and the accumulation of macrophages in the alveolar cavities. Viral antigens were detected in bronchial epithelial cells, macrophages, and alveolar epithelial cells. These phenomena were not observed in wild-type mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Notably, we confirmed the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in hACE2 mice. This SARS-CoV-2-infected mouse model is of significant value for evaluating antiviral agents and vaccines, as well as for understanding the pathogenesis of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\";

SARS-CoV-2) was identified, which rapidly spread worldwide, causing severe consequences for human health and the global economy. Here, we assess the replication capacity and pathogenesis of a SARS-CoV-2 isolate in Syrian hamsters. The SARS-CoV-2 isolate replicated efficiently in the lungs of hamsters and led to severe pathological lung lesions following intranasal infection. Additionally, micro-computed tomography imaging revealed severe lung damage, sharing common characteristics with human lungs infected with SARS-CoV-2, including severe, bilateral, peripheral, multi-lobular ground-glass opacity and lung consolidation areas. Hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2 generated neutralizing antibody responses and were protected from subsequent re-challenge with SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, even when administered two days after infection, passive transfer of convalescent serum into naive hamsters effectively suppressed viral replication in the lungs of serum-treated hamsters. Overall, these findings suggest that this Syrian hamster model will be valuable for understanding the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and for testing vaccines and antiviral drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_button bt_bb_color_scheme_4 bt_bb_icon_position_left bt_bb_style_outline_thin bt_bb_size_normal bt_bb_width_inline bt_bb_shape_inherit bt_bb_target_self bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\";
