A review on recent trends of antiviral nanoparticles and airborne filters: special insight on COVID-19 virus
AbstractNovel corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic in the last 4 months stimulates the international scientific community to search for vaccine of antiviral agents suitable for in activating the virus inside and outside the human body. More than 4 million people globally are infected by the virus and about 300,000 dead cases until this moment. The ventilation a nd airborne filters are also investigated aiming to develop an efficient antiviral filtration technology. Human secretion of the infected person as nasal or saliva droplets goes as airborne and distributes the virus everywhere around the person. N95 and N98 filters ar...

A potent virucidal activity of functionalized TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > nanoparticles adsorbed with flavonoids against SARS-CoV-2
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2022 Aug 11:1-16. doi: 10.1007/s00253-022-12112-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has caused a pandemic with > 550 millions of cases and > 6 millions of deaths worldwide. Medical management of COVID-19 relies on supportive care as no specific targeted therapies are available yet. Given its devastating effects on the economy and mental health, it is imperative to develop novel antivirals. An ideal candidate will be an agent that blocks the early events of viral attachment and cell entry, thereby preventing viral infection and spread. This work reports functionalized...

Potential of < em > Azadirachta indica < /em > as a Capping Agent for Antiviral Nanoparticles against SARS-CoV-2
Biomed Res Int. 2022 Sep 15;2022:5714035. doi: 10.1155/2022/5714035. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTA rare type of pneumonia later on referred to as COVID-19 was reported in China in December 2019. Investigations revealed that this disease is caused by a coronavirus previously identified as SARS-CoV-2, and since then, it has become a global pandemic with new strains emerging rapidly as a result of genetic mutations. Various therapeutic options are being explored in order to eradicate this pandemic even though approved vaccine candidates are being currently rolled out globally. Most medicinal plant extracts have astonishing prope...

Current status of silica-based nanoparticles as therapeutics and its potential as therapies against viruses
Antiviral Res. 2022 Dec 22:105488. doi: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2022.105488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the past decade, interest in nanoparticles for clinical indications has been steadily gaining traction. Most recently, Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP) have been used successfully to construct the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines for rapid pandemic response. Similarly, silica is another nanomaterial which holds much potential to create nanomedicines against pathogens of interest. One major advantage of silica-based nanoparticles is its crystalline and highly ordered structure, which can be specifically tuned to achieve the desired pr...
