El panorama de las estrategias nanotecnológicas contra el COVID-19: productos y diagnósticos, vacunas y tratamientos

espanolEl estado de pandemia, declarado por la Organizacion Mundial de la Salud, el 11 de marzo de 2020, ha puesto a prueba la capacidad de adaptacion y respuesta de la sociedad. Una carrera contra el tiempo para buscar estrategias para combatir la enfermedad del nuevo coronavirus contribuye a la union de los cientificos de todo el mundo, incluyendo el uso de la nanotecnologia. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del estudio fue describir el panorama de las estrategias de la nanotecnologia contra COVID-19, destacando principalmente los productos y diagnosticos, vacunas y tratamientos que son o pueden ser utilizados. Se realizo una revision bibliografica de los estudios publicados entre febrero y noviembre de 2020 en las bases de datos PubMed, Scielo y Google Scholar. Segun los indices de las distintas bases de datos, se utilizaron los terminos de busqueda "new coronavirus 2019", "COVID-19", "severe acute respiratory syndrome" Nanotechnology against COVID-19", "COVID-19 Vaccines" sin ninguna restriccion de idioma. El uso de materiales de base nanometrica ha indicado un gran potencial contra la diseminacion del COVID-19, con la produccion de productos, diagnosticos, vacunas y tratamientos.

A race against time to seek strategies to fight the disease of the new coronavirus contributes to the union of scientists from all over the world, including using nanotechnology Thus, the objective of the study was described the landscape of nanotechnology strategies against COVID-19, highlighting mainly the products and diagnostics, vaccines and treatments that are or can be used. A literature review was carried out in studies published from February to November 2020 in PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. According to the indexes of the various databases, search terms were used: “new coronavirus 2019”, “COVID-19”, “severe acute respiratory syndrome” Nanotechnology against COVID-19”, “COVID-19 Vaccines” without any language restrictions. The use of nano-based materials has indicated a great potential against dissemination of COVID-19, with the production of products, diagnostics, vaccines and treatments. Our results demonstrate that nanotechnology offers processes, materials and tools that contribute to increase the sensitivity, agility and reliability of the diagnosis, in addition to providing more effective options for prevention, diagnosis and therapies.
