RESUMO
Handling of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still ongoing, both prevention, treatment, and care for sufferers. Therefore, the assessment of the antiviral material at these stages is a very important rapid response, including those from nanomaterials. Here, we have reviewed the potential of nano-hydroxyapatite and its compounds which are known to be antiviral and antibacterial for potential use in biomedical tools. Although clinical trials to assess the efficacy of this material needs to be conducted, this review highlighting important information, including an analysis of the potential as a delivery drug, antibacterial coating, and detection tools to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2021, Rasayan Journal of Chemistry, c/o Dr. Pratima Sharma.
