Article Synopsis
- Ongoing outbreaks of various viral infections highlight the urgent need for new antiviral compounds, with a focus on immunomodulatory drugs due to the immunotoxic properties of many viruses.
- A synthetic compound related to indole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives (referred to as XXV) has been developed, demonstrating antiviral and interferon-inducing activities in a macrophage-like cell model.
- The study utilized real-time PCR to show that XXV significantly stimulates the expression of toll-like receptors, interferons, and cytokines, indicating its role as an activator of innate immunity and its potential in fighting viral pathogens.
Successful formation of electronic interfaces between living cells and electronic components requires both good cell viability and performance level. This paper presents a technology for the formation of nanostructured arrays of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in biopolymer (albumin) layer for higher biocompatibility. The layer of liquid albumin dispersion was sprayed on synthesized MWCNT arrays by deposition system.

Therefore, it is important to find adequate materials that meet the necessary requirements such as (i) being intrinsically compatible with biological systems, (ii) providing a sufficient electronic conductivity that promotes efficient signal transduction, (iii) having "soft" mechanical properties comparable to biological structures, and (iv) being degradable in physiological solution. We have developed organic conducting biocompatible single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) composites based on bovine serum albumin, carboxymethylcellulose, and acrylic polymer and investigated their properties, which are relevant for biomedical applications.
