NANOTECHNOLOGY IN BATTLE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS

AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

The COVID-19 is an infectious disease and SARS-CoV-2 virus is the causative agent. The nanoparticles rages from 0.2nm to the 1000nm. The particle having less than 200nm shows greater effective application as drug delivery system. As the particle size decreases the surface area will increase hence the nano size material/ drug and formulation has advantage over the conventional dosage forms in the treatment of COVID-19. Along with this the nano medicines easily cross the different cellular membranes, cross the epithelial wall, permeate through the lung tissues and helps to target the lungs. The nanotechnology based diagnostic kits and therapeutics might lead us to stop this COVID-19. The nanotechnology-based formulation has ability to give promising vaccines because they are small in size and it will be act against viruses. So in future the nanotechnology has important role in fight against of COVID 19.
