Applying Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Viral Infections and Toxicological Considerations
Background: Despite the tremendous progress in human medicine, viral infections can cause death in them. Due to the high prevalence of viruses, it is required to develop novel treatment strategies and provide the site-specific delivery of antiviral agents at the viral reservoirs. Objectives: Particle size is a vital physical characteristic that can affect the bioavailability and circulation ti...
متن کاملApplications of Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Viral Infections and Toxicological Considerations
Viral infections can cause of death in humans worldwide, despite the tremendous progress in human medicine. Particle size is a very important physical characteristic that can affect bioavailability and circulation time of nanoparticles. The ratio of large surface area and volume of nanoparticle enhanced solubility of poorly soluble drug compounds, optimum surface charge of the nanoparticle wi...
متن کاملInterfering With Lipid Raft Association: A Mechanism to Control Influenza Virus Infection By Sambucus Nigra
Sambucus nigra (elder) are broadly used species to treat microbial infections. Thepotential antiviral activity and mechanism action of elder fruit (EF) in human epithelium cell(A549) cultures infected with H9N2 influenza virus were determined. The effect of variousconcentrations of EF on influenza virus replication was examined by using virus titration,quantitative real time RT-PCR, fusion and ...

متن کاملAntiviral Profile of Brown and Red Seaweed Polysaccharides Against Hepatitis C Virus
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has infected 3% of the population worldwide and 20% of the population in Egypt. HCV infection can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma and death. The presently available treatment with interferon plus ribavirin, has limited benefits due to adverse side effects. Seaweeds have become a major source of new compounds to treat viral diseases. This work aimed to study the effect o...
