Context: Recently, a few antiviral drugs viz Molnupiravir (EIDD-1931), Favipiravir, Ribavirin, Sofosbuvir, Galidesivir, and Remdesivir are shown to be beneficial against COVID-19 disease. These drugs bind to the viral RNA single strand to inhibit the virus genome replication. Similarly, recently, some artificial nucleotides, such as P, J, B, X, Z, V, S, and K were proposed to behave as potent antiviral candidates.

In this study, for the first time, boron oxide nanoflake is analyzed as drug carrier for favipiravir using computational studies. The thermodynamic stability of the boron oxide and favipiravir justifies the strong interaction between both species. Four orientations are investigated for the interaction between the favipiravir and the BO nanoflake.

Unlabelled: Favipiravir (FAV) (6-fluoro-3-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrazine-2-carboxamide) is one of the most effective antiviral drugs which is cited for action against RNA-viral infections of COVID-19. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate three nanotubes (NTs) with FAV drug as delivery systems. The encapsulated systems (ESs) consist of FAV drug inside carbon-carbon, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to global public health. In response, the search for specific antiviral drugs that can effectively treat the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a priority. While significant progress has been made in this regard, much work remains to address this ongoing crisis effectively.
