Application: SARS-Inhibitor 5 is an α-defensin-derived antimicrobial peptide with antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Defensins are innate immune peptides with broad antimicrobial and antiviral properties. This peptide inhibits binding of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the ACE2 receptor, thereby interfering with viral entry into host cells. SARS-Inhibitor 5 is used as a research tool for studying host defense peptides, coronavirus attachment, virus–host interactions, and peptide-based antiviral strategies. It supports investigations of spike–ACE2 blockade, innate immune antiviral mechanisms, SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibition, and therapeutic approaches targeting early infection steps.
