- Abstract
- Virus infections pose significant global health challenges, especially in view of
the fact that the emergence of resistant viral strains and the adverse side effects associated
with prolonged use continue to slow down the application of effective antiviral therapies.
This makes imperative the need for the development of safe and potent alternatives to
conventional antiviral drugs. In the present scenario, nanoscale materials have emerged as
novel antiviral agents for the possibilities offered by their unique chemical and physical
properties. Silver nanoparticles have mainly been studied for their antimicrobial potential
against bacteria, but have also proven to be active against several types of viruses including
human imunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex virus, respiratory syncytial
virus, and monkey pox virus. The use of metal nanoparticles provides an interesting
opportunity for novel antiviral therapies. Since metals may attack a broad range of targets
in the virus there is a lower possibility to develop resistance as compared to conventional
antivirals. The present review focuses on the development of methods for the production of
silver nanoparticles and on their use as antiviral therapeutics against pathogenic viruses. (literal)
