Aim: Graphene oxide (GO), known for its distinctive physicochemical properties, shows promise as a nanomaterial capable of combating infectious agents. This study investigates the efficacy of GO nanoparticles in restricting influenza A H1N1 replication in MDCK cells.
Methods: GO nanoparticles were synthesized. After evaluating the toxicity of GO nanoparticles, the antiviral activity of the highest nontoxic concentration of GO against influenza A H1N1 in MDCK cells was studied.
Results: GO treatments resulted in substantial decreases in virus titers, as shown via hemagglutination assay, TCID50 assay and real-time PCR analysis.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes that GO nanoparticles have a high level of effectiveness against influenza A H1N1 viruses, making them an intriguing option for various antiviral uses.
