Carbon Nanotubes: a Promising Approach for Drug Delivery

The bioavailability and intrinsic toxicity of many potential drugs affect their pharmacological profile and, in turn, their therapeutic efficacy and therefore, preventing them from late-stage pharmaceutical development. Hence, pharmaceutical industries are recently being forced to renew creatively their drug discovery programs and design more and better drug candidates for clinical development....

Gastroretentive Drug Delivery Systems: a Promising Approach

Applications of carbon nanotubes in drug delivery.

The development of new and efficient drug delivery systems is of fundamental importance to improve the pharmacological profiles of many classes of therapeutic molecules. Many different types of drug delivery systems are currently available. Within the family of nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNT) have emerged as a new alternative and efficient tool for transporting and translocating therapeut...

Density Functional Theory Calculations of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes with Metformin as Vehicles for Drug Delivery

Drug delivery by nanomaterials is an active emergent research area and CNTs draws considerable potential application owing to its unique quasi one-dimensional structure and electronic properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon fullerenes can be used in drug delivery due to their mechanical and chemical stability. The past few years, increasing attention by several reputed groups has ...
