Özet
Background This study focuses on a medication targeting the primary protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coron-avirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), aiming to inhibit in vitro viral replication across diverse experiments. At the onset of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, only general therapy was available; however, an emergency application license has recently been granted for an oral antiviral in the U.S. Nirmatrelvir, an antiviral drug developed by Pfizer, operates as an orally effective 3 Cysteine-like protease inhibitor. Methods This work evaluates the inhibitory potential of nirmatrelvir against the coronavirus when delivered using carbon nano-materials. The direct electron transfer principle, elucidated through the quantum mechanics method of density functional theory (DFT), guides the drug delivery process. The evaluation involves the Becke, 3-parameter, Lee--Yang--Parr (B3LYP)/6-311+G (d …
