Abstract
Purpose of review: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic which has not been seen in recent history, leaving behind deep socioeconomic damages and huge human losses with the disturbance in the healthcare sector. Despite the tremendous international effort and the launch of various clinical trials for the containment of this pandemic, no effective therapy has been proven yet.
Recent findings: This review has highlighted the different traditional therapeutic techniques, along with the potential contribution of nanomedicine against the severe acute respiratory syndrome corovirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Repositioning of the drugs, such as remdesivir and chloroquine, is a rapid process for the reach of safe therapeutics, and the related clinical trials have determined effects against COVID-19. Various protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates have successfully entered clinical phases, determining positive results. The self-assembled and metallic nanovaccines mostly based on the antigenic properties of spike (S) protein are also approachable, feasible, and promising techniques for lowering the viral burden.
Summary: There are number of NP-based diagnostic systems have been reported for coronaviruses (CoVs) and specifically for SARS-CoV-2. However, extensive studies are still necessary and required for the nanoparticle (NP)-based therapy.
期刊介绍:
Current Pharmacology Reports will: publish cutting-edge reviews on subjects pertinent to all aspects of pharmacology, including drug discovery and development.provide incisive, insightful, and balanced contributions from international leading experts.interest a wide readership of basic scientists and translational investigators in academia and in industry. The Current Pharmacology Reports journal accomplishes its goal by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as: epigenetics and epigenomics, chemoinformatics and rational drug design and target discovery, drug delivery and biomaterial, pharmacogenomics and molecular targets and biomarkers, chemical/drug/molecular toxicology, absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME), pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and pharmacometrics, and other related topics in pharmacology including neurology/central nervous system (CNS), cardiovascular, metabolic diseases, cancer, among others. Section Editors for Current Pharmacology Reports select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided. This journal publishes on a bi-monthly schedule.Please submit here: https://www.editorialmanager.com/phar/default.aspx
