Biocompatible dispersions of carbon nanotubes: a potential tool for intracellular transport of anticancer drugs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the biocompatible amphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol-b-propylene sulfide) (PEG44PPS20) allows a tuned loading of doxorubicin onto the surface of non-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes and an efficient cell internalization. The obtained multi-walled carbon nanotube-based systems show enhanced cytotoxic activity with respect to non-vehicled doxorubicin.

Nowadays apphcanon of nanotubes in biology and medicinal science is more investigated. Nanotubes can passthroueh cell walls and transport and release drugs in special tissues. The purpose of this paper is to investigatethe interaction of a nanotube having hydroxyl functional groups (OH) with an anticancer agent. In this worktransporting of an anticancer drug named 2-(2-amino 6,7-dimethyl Pterid...
متن کاملComparison of theoretical effects of encapsulation floxuridine anticancer drug with boron nitride nanotube and carbon nanotube with NBO and QTAIM studies
Background: The purpose of using nano-carriers for drugs delivery, such as nanotubes, is slow release of drug and reducing side effects of drugs. Drugs are very active due to their many functional groups. Therefore, reactivity of drug is reduced by being in nanotube field due to electronic resonance of drug with nanotube and it stays longer in body. As a result, less amount of drug is used and ...
متن کاملRole of Interatomic Potentials in Simulation of Thermal Transport in Carbon Nanotubes
Interatomic potentials, which describe interactions between elements of nanosystems, are crucial in theoretical study of their physical properties. We focus on two well known empirical potentials, i.e. Tersoff's and Brenner's potentials, and compare their performance in calculation of thermal transport in carbon nanotubes. In this way, we study the temperature and diameter dependence of thermal...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic “nanobombs” fight against undesirable vesicular compartmentalization of anticancer drugs
Undesirable intracellular vesicular compartmentalization of anticancer drugs in cancer cells is a common cause of chemoresistance. Strategies aimed at circumventing this problem may improve chemotherapeutic efficacy. We report a novel photophysical strategy for controlled-disruption of vesicular sequestration of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), mod...
