Among the polyphenolic compounds examined, (−)-catechin gallate and (−)-gallocatechin gallate demonstrated a remarkable inhibition activity on SARS-CoV N protein. 33 In this study, we report a novel approach for the inhibitor screening of SARS-CoV N protein using a quantum dots (QDs)-conjugated oligonucleotide system with wide applicability for facile and sensitive imaging analysis on a biochip. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the inhibition effects of (-)-catechin gallate and (-)-gallocatechin gallate on SARS-CoV N protein using an optical nanoparticle-based RNA oligonucleotide platform. Among the polyphenolic compounds screened, (-)-catechin gallate and (-)-gallocatechin gallate showed high anti-SARS-CoV N protein activity. At a concentration of 0.05 µg mL -1 , (-)-catechin gallate and (-)-gallocatechin gallate showed more than 40% inhibition activity on a QDs-RNA oligonucleotide biochip platform. ./cache/cord-287501-7it4kh0e.txt ./txt/cord-287501-7it4kh0e.txt
