Estudo prospectivo tecnológico e científico de antissépticos para prevenir a disseminação de SARS-CoV-2 e outros vírus patogênicos

Abstract

Summary: Introduction: the coronavirus identified in humans, SARS-CoV-2, caused the World Health Organization (WHO) to define COVID-19 as a pandemic. This classification is due to its dissemination in several countries, which shows the transmissibility of this virus. Controlling the disease required social isolation and observation of what would be the main mode of spread: the hands. The asepsis of these began to be highlighted and the substances used for it were questioned. Objective: this work is a qualitative and quantitative analysis of articles and patents from the stage of studies on the development of antiseptic formulations to control the spread of viruses. Results: database analysis revealed that there are few studies on antiviral antiseptic efficacy and limited existence of applied technology. Conclusion: the control of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 will require the development and validation of antiseptic means.
