Annotation

The agent Panavir possesses versatile antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, which still have not been explained at the molecular level. Here, we propose a simple physicochemical model of Panavir nanoparticles, which allows one to explain its effects by the mechanical activation of cells, including those of the immune system. Thus, there is no need for binding of the Panavir particles to any supramolecular chiral receptor for manifestation of its all known effects.
