Nanobodies, derived from the immune systems of camelids such as alpacas and llamas, represent a novel class of therapeutics with significant potential in fighting respiratory viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Nanobodies are small biomolecules that are highly stable and have unique binding features that allow for the effective neutralization of viral particles and inhibition of viral replication. This review highlights the advantages of nanobodies over traditional antibodies, including cost-effective production and enhanced specificity for target antigens. We discuss the mechanisms through which nanobodies block viral entry, their applications in diagnostics, and the methodologies for their development, such as phage display technology. Furthermore, we explore the efficacy of nanobodies in preclinical studies and their potential in clinical settings. As research progresses, structural optimization and the exploration of combination therapies may enhance their therapeutic efficacy, providing a promising approach for addressing global health challenges caused by emerging viral pathogens.
期刊介绍:
Advancing Life Sciences R&D: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
SLAS Discovery is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS).
