Graphene oxide-based drug delivery vehicles: functionalization, characterization, and cytotoxicity evaluation
Source abstract
Abstract
As a consequence of graphene oxides (GOs) high chemical versatility, there is great interest in functionalized as a nanocarrier for in vitro and in vivo drug delivery. Within this review, the structure and properties of GO that allow covalent and non-covalent functionalization are discussed. In short, toxicity investigations show functionalized GO is biocompatible. Various works demonstrate the potential of GO derivatives as exciting nanocarriers for the loading and delivery of therapeutic drugs.
