Lipid-encapsulated gold nanoparticles: an advanced strategy for attenuating the inflammatory response in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nanodrugs play a crucial role in biomedical applications by enhancing drug delivery. To address safety and toxicity concerns associated with nanoparticles, lipid-nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for developing next-generation smart nanomedicines. Ginseng has traditionally been used for various therapeutic purposes, including antiviral activity. This study aimed to prepare a biocompatible and therapeutically potent Korean ginseng nanoemulsion (KGS-NE) using ginseng seed oil (GSO), optimize its encapsulation and drug delivery efficiency, and evaluate its antiviral activity.

Results

Various techniques were utilized to confirm the KGS-NE formation. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy identified gold nanoparticles with the h
