Green Synthesis, Characterization, Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Entry, and Replication of Lactoferrin-Coated Zinc Nanoparticles with Halting Lung Fibrosis Induced in Adult Male Albino Rats

Lactoferrin zinc nanoparticles showed potent in vitro retardation for SARS-CoV-2 entry to host cells by binding to the ACE2-receptor and spike protein receptor binding domain at IC50 values of 59.66 and μg/mL, respectively.
