Porous silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) were investigated as antiviral agents for suppression of the infection rate in-duced by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in vitro. A suppression of the viral activity was observed for the SiNP concentration, which were significantly lower than the corresponding cytotoxic concentrations. The observed effect is related to an efficient binding of the viruses with SiNPs because of non-specific Van-der-Waals interaction.
