Abstract

Many therapeutic advantages such as prolonged circulation in the blood, increased tumor drug uptake, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and markedly reduced toxic side effects are provided by a carbon nanotube based chemotherapeutic formulation. In this system, doxorubicin (DOX) is loaded onto the sidewalls of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes by supramolecular pi-pi stacking.
