SummaryRecent studies have shown that some lipids and fatty alcohols have microbicidal activities against a broad variety of pathogens. In this study, virucidal activities of fatty acids, monoglycerides and fatty alcohols were tested against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) at different concentrations, times and pH levels. The most active compounds were mixed with milk products and fruit juices and the mixtures tested for virucidal effects. The aim…

Virucidal activity of a proprietary blend of plant-based oils (Viruxal) against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses – an in vitro study
TLDR
Viruxal was validated for its potential usefulness as a medical device for treatment and prevention of enveloped respiratory viruses for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A(H1N1) viruses.
Bioactive monolaurin as an antimicrobial and its potential to improve the immune system and against COVID-19: a review
TLDR
Monolaurin has the potential for human consumption to boost the immune system and ward off various virus attacks, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the cause of COVID-19 which became a pandemic in the world.
Metadichol®: A Novel Nanolipid Formulation That Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and a Multitude of Pathological Viruses In Vitro
  • P. Raghavan
  • Biology, Chemistry
    BioMed research international
  • 2022
TLDR
Metadichol®, a nanolipid emulsion of long-chain alcohols, has been demonstrated as a strong candidate that inhibits the proliferation of SARS-CoV-2 and was found to be 270 times more potent an inhibitor of TMPRSS2 than camostat mesylate.
The antibacterial properties of docosahexaenoic omega-3 fatty acid against the cystic fibrosis multiresistant pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia.
TLDR
Evidence is provided that DHA may be a useful nutraceutical for the treatment of CF patients with lung infections caused by antibiotic multiresistant Bcc microorganisms.
Metadichol®, a Novel Nano Lipid Formulation that Inhibits SARS-COV-2 and a Multitude of Pathological Viruses in vitro
TLDR
Metadichol, a nano lipid emulsion, has been examined and shown to be a strong candidate to help stop the proliferation of SARS-COV-2, a pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2.
Intranasal delivery of formulations containing virucidal lipids for treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in rats
Liposomes: a promising carrier for respiratory syncytial virus therapeutics
TLDR
Variation in liposome size and composition gives flexibility for the amount and number of deliverables, whilst targeted delivery with the capability for immunomodulation makes liposomes a promising candidate for RSV therapeutic applications.
Serum Lipidomics Analysis of Classical Swine Fever Virus Infection in Piglets and Emerging Role of Free Fatty Acids in Virus Replication in vitro
TLDR
It is found that CSFV infection induced FFAs accumulation in vivo and in vitro results in impaired type I IFN signaling-mediated antiviral responses by down-regulating RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) signaling molecules, which may represent a mechanism ofCSFV replication.
Effectiveness of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids against microbial pathogens
TLDR
This review focuses on the efficacy, mechanism, and toxicity of omega-3 fatty acids as alternative therapeutic agents for treating and preventing diseases associated with pathogenic microorganisms.
Effects of medium chain fatty acids as a mitigation or prevention strategy against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in swine feed
TLDR
Medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) are effective mitigants when applied to feed both pre- and post-porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) inoculation measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and decreasing concentration of each individual MCFA decreased PEDV detectability.

Virucidal activities of medium‐ and long‐chain fatty alcohols, fatty acids and monoglycerides against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2: comparison at different pH levels
TLDR
In most cases HLB numbers cannot explain the different virucidal activities of fatty alcohols and lipids, particularly not their increased activity at low pH, it is more likely that the acidic environment makes HSV more sensitive, possibly by ionic changes in the envelope proteins.
Inactivation of enveloped viruses and killing of cells by fatty acids and monoglycerides
TLDR
Studies are needed to establish whether human milk lipids have an antimicrobial effect in the stomach and intestines of infants and to determine what role, if any, they play in protecting infants against gastrointestinal infections.
Effects of polysorbates on antiviral and antibacterial activity of monoglyceride in pharmaceutical formulations.
TLDR
This work evaluated the effect of polysorbates 20 and 40 at different concentrations on the microbicidal activity of monocaprin formulated either in a hydrogel or in a solution, using propylene glycol as co-solvent and glycofurol 75 as carrier.
Antimicrobial effects of lipids
TLDR
Hydrogel formulations have been developed which contain monocaprin as the microbicidal ingredient and which kill the above pathogens in large numbers within 1 to 10 min in vitro, and may be useful in counteracting sexually transmitted infections, including HIV infection, as well as for treatment of infections of skin and mucosa.
Inactivation of Lipid-Containing Viruses by Long-Chain Alcohols
TLDR
The findings suggest that dodecanol, tetradecanol, and phytol may warrant further studies as potential antiviral agents, particularly for topical application to virus-infected areas of the skin.
Development and evaluation of microbicidal hydrogels containing monoglyceride as the active ingredient.
TLDR
The aim was to find which lipid would be preferable as the active ingredient in a virucidal hydrogel formulation for the purpose of preventing transmission of pathogens to mucosal membranes, particularly sexually transmitted viruses, and bacteria.
Inactivation of Visna Virus and Other Enveloped Viruses by Free Fatty Acids and Monoglycerides
TLDR
Human milk was found to become antiviral during storage at 4 degrees C because of the release of fatty acids by lipolysis, and lipids commonly found in natural products could possibly be used as antiviral agents against enveloped viruses.
Inactivation and Inhibition of Replication of the Enveloped Bacteriophage φ6 by Fatty Acids
  • J. Sands
  • Medicine, Biology

  • 1977
TLDR
It is concluded that the fatty acids that prevent φ6 replication probably do so by interfering with the entry of the viral genome into the host cell.
Inactivation of Enveloped Viruses in Human Bodily Fluids by Purified Lipids a
TLDR
Preliminary studies indicate thatlipids decrease sperm motility and viability suggesting that lipids may potentially be used as combination spermicidal and virucidal agents.
Stable Concentrated Emulsions of the 1-Monoglyceride of Capric Acid (Monocaprin) with Microbicidal Activities against the Food-Borne Bacteria Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli
