7. Antiviral activity of nanomaterials
Viruses are acaryotes. They possess a single type of DNA or RNA and require a host cell, whose components they use, to replicate. Viruses are generally pathogenic germs. Molecules active against viruses fall into two categories: antiseptics and disinfectants, and antivirals. Some nanometric powder formulations have antiseptic properties. Koper and colleagues have demonstrated that non-toxic metal oxides such as MgO or CaO in nanocrystalline form, bearing active halogens (for example, MgO · Cl 2...
