Glycosylated Carbon Nanodots as Multivalent Blockers of Lectin-Driven Viral Entry: Structural Insights and Antiviral Performance

GNGema Nieto-OrtizJCJusto Cabrera-GonzálezFLFátima Lasala

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the antiviral role of glycosylated carbon nanodots as blockers of viral entry via lectins.
  • Developed glyco-CNDs using pre- and post-synthetic strategies.
  • Utilized one-pot synthesis for efficient creation of nanodots.
  • Employed click-chemistry for functionality enhancement.
  • Glyco-CNDs effectively blocked lectin-driven viral entry.
  • Structural insights confirm distinct functional classes of glyco-CNDs.
  • Demonstrated antiviral activity suggests potential for further development.

Abstract

A versatile nanoplatform of glycosilated carbon nanodots (glyco-CNDs) has been developed using combined pre- and post-synthetic strategies. By combining one-pot synthesis and click-chemistry functionalization, three classes of glyco-CNDs displaying distinct...
