The recent pandemic has highlighted the urgent need to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying viral effects in humans and is driving search for innovative antiviral therapies. Several studies have investigated ability of gas plasma, a partially ionized that simultaneously generates several reactive species, be new tool. However, aspects action plasma remained elusive. In this study, we, first time, used device approved medical purposes routinely applied clinics, especially wound healing, test its activity against murine corona-virus vitro (MHV-GFP), research model analogous human coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2. For this, we established novel high-content imaging assay gave quantitative kinetic information about infection reduced fibroblasts (17Cl-1) host cells. Gas treatment delayed infectivity overall toxicity 17Cl1 Various antioxidants at different concentrations were screened identify ROS relevant effects. Catalase provided no virus protection, DMSO, mannitol, histidine, Trolox, ascorbic acid only modestly virucidal efficacy. By contrast, glutathione, tyrosine, cysteine showed profound but not complete protection MHV from plasma-derived suggesting pivotal roles superoxide radicals peroxynitrite plasma-driven inactivation. At extended exposure times, fewer intact RNA detected, indicative species-driven modifications or degradation an additional mechanism action. Virus particle size changes measured by electron microscopy moderate. Collectively, identified potent clinically argon jet along with potential
