Research of drugs for COVID-19, the most striking studies include the ACE-2 receptors used by COVID-19 by binding to the lung cells for entry. In the researchers conducted, it was determined by the results of the docking studies performed on the agents that block the receptor by binding to the receptor, such as COVID-19, several molecules have the interest to bind to this receptor. One of these numbered molecules is herbal flavanoid called "Quercetin". In this study, quercetin imprinted polymeric materials were designed, synthesized and characterized. For synthesis, emulsion polymerization technique was used for obtanining quercetin imprinted polymeric materials. SEM and Zeta-Size analysis were used as preliminary characterization. After a week release experiment, quercetin imprinted polymeric nanoparticles were released % 14. In the light of these results, it is predicted that quercetin printed polymeric material can be used for protection from COVID-19 and treatment of COVID-19 on the inhaler route.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
