CARBON NANOTUBES AS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR ANTI-CANCER DRUG DELIVERY: A REVIEW
AbstractCancer is a diverse category of diseases involving the growth of unchecked cells. Cancer cells uncontrollably divide and expand, creating malignant tumours that can invade surrounded parts of the body. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) consist solely of a carbon atom organized into a tubular form in a sequence of condensed benzene rings. These sheets are rolled at a particular and distinct angle and the properties of the nanotubes are determined from the combination of the radius and rolling angle. Because of their non-toxic nature and high fluorescence characteristics, carbon nanoparticles are shaped into a ligand that is unique to a highly expressed receptor for imaging and drug conveyance in malignant growth care. Carbon specks (C-dabs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are leading the continuous discovery of carbon-based nanoparticles. CNTs are used as nano-carriers for anticancer drugs, including carboplatin, camptothecin doxorubicin via proper functionalization.
