Microfluidic-assisted nanoprecipitation of antiviral-loaded polymeric nanoparticles
The chemical treatment called “chemotherapy of plants” consists in the in vivo administration of substances able to interfere with viral replication. The current availability of synthetic molecules with a high chemotherapeutic index, i.e. with a high ratio between the maximum concentration tolerated and the minimum effective, together with the possibility to further widen the therapeutic window by the use of appropriate nanocarriers, seems to open on the application level of a novel chemical approach to treat plant viral infections.
