Summary: | The present disclosure relates to protocells that are useful in the treatment and prevention of viral infections, including but not limited to infections caused by a Hendra virus and Nipah virus (NiV). The present disclosure relates to protocells that are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections, including antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The protocells are coated with a lipid bi- or multilayer comprising at least one moiety that targets a viral cellular receptor and at least one moiety that ruptures a virally-infected cell membrane. The present disclosure further relates to novel mesoporous metal oxide nanoparticles and related protocells that are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of a wide variety of disorders, including a cancer or a bacterial or viral infection. Such nanoparticles and protocells can be functionalized to allow for synergistic loading of a wide variety of active ingredients. |
