Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Nanoscience deals with the study of materials at nanoscale dimensions. It
has been shown that modernizing drugs to a nanosized delivery system will afford
fruitful outcomes with enhanced efficacy against the virus, reduction of the drug dose
and improved targetability with enhanced/sustained bioavailability, If the drug dose is
reduced, the dose-related side effects are reduced. Dose reduction through
nanotechnology also limits non-target tissue toxicity. Hence, nanotechnology has
remarkable potential in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to their small molecular level
of tunable size, nanopharmaceuticals (in the form of nanoparticles) will easily enter the
cells or tissues. The case of COVID-19, they interact with the virus and act accordingly
and might inhibit the viral processes of 2019nCoV in COVID-19.
