Abstract

This manuscript presents a comprehensive investigation into the development and multifunctional applications of proprietary silica (SiO₂)-based nanomaterials, including OCTA-H. We detail the significant antiviral efficacy of OCTA-H and its derivatives against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), demonstrating superior viral inhibition. Furthermore, the virucidal potential of NA₂SiO₃/SiO₂/TiO₂ nanocomposites against SARS-CoV-2 is established, showing a remarkable 98.2% reduction in viral load. In oncology, these silica nanocomposites exhibit potent, targeted anticancer activity against breast and liver cancer cell lines. The multifunctionality of these engineered materials is underscored by their synthesis via a controlled quantum plasma process, yielding tailored physicochemical properties. While promising applications in environmental remediation and radiation shielding (OCTA Stone Block) are noted, this work primarily focuses on and substantiates the biomedical potential of silica nanomaterials for developing next-generation therapeutic and preventive solutions.
