Green synthesis of MnO₂ NPs using Arabic gum: assessing its potential antiviral activity against influenza A/H1N1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The antiviral properties of metal nanoparticles against various viruses, including those resistant to drugs, are currently a subject of intensive research. Recently, the green synthesis of nanoparticles and their anti-viral function have attracted a lot of attention. Previous studies have shown promising results in the use of Arabic gum for the green synthesis of nanoparticles with strong antiviral properties. In this study we aimed to investigate the antiviral effects of MnO₂ nanoparticles (MnO₂-NPs) synthesized using Arabic gum, particularly against the influenza virus.

Methods

Arabic gum was used as a natural polymer to extract and synthesize MnO₂-NPs using a green chemistry approach. The synthesized MnO₂-NPs were cha
