The great interest attached to Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are traceable its distinctive properties such as rigidity, high yield strength, surface-to-volume ratio, hardness, flexibility and ductility. CuNPs have shown several applications catalytic, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal activities. Recently, Cu-NPs has gain a lot of importance comparable with gold silver in fields, it also offer additional benefit been cheaper. biosynthesis recommended...
<title>Abstract</title> Measles is a leading cause of death in children countries with suboptimal vaccination coverage. The disease caused by negative-strand RNA virus called measles virus. It uses receptors to invade cells and later establish infection namely the signalling lymphocyte activation molecule f1 (SLAMF1) nection-4 which expressed lung epithelium. Till date, there no specific drug for treatment measles. Thus, this research work explored twenty (20) bioactive compounds (flavonoids...
