Abstract excerpt
There is an urgent need to develop antiviral drugs and alleviate the current COVID-19 pandemic. Herein we report the design and construction of chimeric oligonucleotides comprising a 2'-OMe-modified antisense oligonucleotide and a 5'-phosphorylated 2'-5' poly(A)4 (4A2-5 ) to degrade envelope and spike RNAs of SARS-CoV-2. The oligonucleotide was used for searching and recognizing target viral RNA sequence, and the...
