Functionalized carbon nanomaterials as nanocarriers for loading and delivery of a poorly water-soluble anticancer drug: a comparative study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbon nanomaterials such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) have been functionalized by highly hydrophilic and biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for loading and delivery of an anticancer drug, camptothecin (CPT). For the first time, CPT was loaded onto MWCNT-PVA and GO-PVA through π-π interactions and its capability to kill human breast and skin cancer cells was investigated.

Thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery
The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

متن کاملNanosized Technological Approaches for the Delivery of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
A major hurdle in pharmaceutical formulation is water insolubility of most of drugs affecting their stability and bioavailability. If the drug is also insoluble in organic medium, it is difficult to deliver it in a sufficiently bioavailable form and hence it is a great challenge to formulation researchers to overcome such difficulty. Although some approaches are available for enhancing th...
متن کاملInvestigating Stability and Solubility Properties of Cyclophosphamide-Functionalized (8,0) and (4,4) CNT Complexes in Water: Computational Studies
Stabilities and quantum molecular descriptors of cyclophoshphamide (an anticancer drug)-functionalized (8,0) zigzag and (4,4) armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) complexes in water were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two attachments namely the sidewall- and tip-attachments are considered for the model constructions. Calculations of the total electronic energy (Et) and ...
