Zusammenfassung:The invention relates generally to viral infections and more specifically to compositions and methods for treating infections by SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV). In particular, the invention provides a PNA agent which includes a PNA moiety with a sequence that targets a SARS-CoV-2 gene; a first cationic and hydrophobic peptide at the N-terminus of the PNA moiety, wherein the first peptide comprises lysine residues, and at least one of the lysine residues comprises a palmitoyl side chain moiety; and a second cationic and hydrophobic peptide at the C-terminus of the PNA moiety, wherein the second peptide comprises lysine residues, and at least one of the lysine residues comprises a palmitoyl side chain moiety.
