Nanomedicine as a Potential Tool against Monkeypox

Abstract: Human monkeypox is a rare viral zoonosis that was first identified in 1970; since then, this infectious disease has been marked as endemic in central and western Africa. The disease has always been considered rare and self-limiting; however, recent worldwide reports of several cases suggest otherwise. Especially with monkeypox being recognized as the most important orthopoxvirus infection in humans in the smallpox post-eradication era, its spread across the globe marks a new epidemic. Currently, there is no pr… Show more

“…[16][17][18] Also, it was possible to diagnose and treat the monkey pox disease that is currently happening in the world by using nanomaterials. [19,20] In the future, it is expected that nano materials, nano science and nano technology will play a leading role in the development of the world. [11,12,21,22] Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to have adequate knowledge and understanding about nanomaterials.…”

“…Several studies have supported the promising efficacy of nanovaccines versus viral infections. Such a study can be utilized to produce a nanovaccine that could inhibit the outbreak of the MPOX while enhancing the immune reaction, especially with nanoparticles improving the delivery yield, delivering adjuvants, and slowly releasing packed factors [ [162] , [163] , [164] , [165] , [166] , [167] ]. For instance, researchers demonstrated in one study that an mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine encoding a collection of four highly preserved MPOX surface proteins involved in virus binding, fusion, and transfer can stimulate MPOX-specific immunity and heterologous preservation versus a lethal VACV challenge.…”

“…Additionally, issues that may be encountered when developing a nanovaccine for MPOX and need to be addressed are vaccine affordability, capability to scale up, and durability in various environments because many MPOX patients are in several counties that cannot afford strict storage and transportation requirements. Moreover, it is crucial to thoroughly study and evaluate the toxicity, immune responses, and efficacy of nanoparticles on the transferring factor each time a nanovaccine is prepared for the MPOX [ 162 ].…”
