Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of carboxylated and drug-conjugated multi-walled carbon nanotubes KU Leuven
Carbon nanotubes have attracted particular attention in antiviral therapy and recently have been explored as HIV inhibitors through structure-based design. In order to prove their in vitro ability to interact with viral enzymes and to act as HIV inhibitors, we have studied the antiviral potentiality of highly hydrophilic and dispersible carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ox-MWCNT) and the activity exerted by the same nanomaterial ...
