Abstract
A method of treating or preventing infection of a respiratory virus, includes administering to a subject a composition comprising gold nanoparticles, where the gold nanoparticles serve to hinder morphological change of protein of the virus and block entry of the virus into human cells. The gold nanoparticles in the composition are in form of negatively-charged gold colloidal solution. The composition further comprises an S1 proteolysis inhibitor. The gold nanoparticles each have a diameter of 0.1 nm to 100 nm.
Claims14
A method of treating infection of a respiratory virus, comprising:
- administering to a subject a composition comprising gold nanoparticles and camostat, wherein the gold nanoparticles and the camostat are ionically bonded, wherein the gold nanoparticles serve to hinder morphological change of protein of the virus and block entry of the virus into human cells.
A method of treating or preventing infection of a respiratory virus, comprising:
- administering to a subject a composition comprising gold nanoparticles and camostat mesylate, wherein the gold nanoparticles and the camostat mesylate are ionically bonded, wherein the gold nanoparticles serve to hinder morphological change of protein of the virus and block entry of the virus into human cells.
