Large molecular weight alginates which are covalently modified to store and release nitric oxide, as well as methods of making and use thereof, are disclosed herein. The covalently modified alginates may be tailored to release nitric oxide in a controlled manner and are useful for eradication of both planktonic and biofilm-based bacteria.

There is provided an active compound comprising bicarbonate of soda and/or magnesium carbonate for use in the treatment of a viral infection. As the pH of the host increases through administration of this pharmaceutical composition or preparation there may be a reduction in the ability of viral cells to fuse with the host cells. In any event, it has been found that administration of such a composition treats a viral infection or can act as a prophylaxis. The active compound may comprise only bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate), only magnesium carbonate or a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and magnesium carbonate.

Disclosed herein are methods of forming compounds and exemplary compounds in the nature of a conjugated compound, which in some embodiments comprises an antigen and virus particle mixed in a conjugation reaction to form a conjugate mixture, such that the conditions and steps of forming these products allow for use of the conjugate mixture as a vaccine, including but not limited to use as a vaccine against various pathogens including for treatment of diseases caused by novel coronaviruses (including SARS-COV 2).
