Nanosponges: Blooming NDDS in the Future perspective
From the history of human civilization, it has been noted that the microorganisms are the cause of various pandemics and epidemics. Among all microorganisms viruses are notorious. Viruses are intracellular parasites having RNA and DNA as their genetic material. When these disease-causing viruses enter in host cell they start, to replicate and cause chronic illnesses. In such conditions antiviral drugs are used to inhibit the activity of these viruses to prevent the illness. From the previous data of development of antiviral therapy, it is found that nanotechnology plays a vital role in the development of nanomedicines in this field, the major problem arises is the development of resistance by the viruses for certain drugs. Nanosponges is a new drug delivery system of a combination of science and engineering in the area of medicine that full fill the current state of treatment of various life-threatening diseases. The nanomedicines comprise nanoparticles to advanced nanosponges which enables the use of biocompatible nanomaterial in treatment and prevention of various severe disease like SARS Covid-19. Therefore, researchers are focusing on the new aspect of drug development. This review focuses on the various advancement of nanosponges to develop suitable antiviral therapy to combat undesirable effects of SARS, Covid-19.
