Motivated by the accomplishment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and graphene oxide (GO) has been widely investigated in the previous studies as an innovative medication nanocarrier for the loading of a variety of therapeutics as well as anti-cancer medications, poor dissolvable medications, antibiotics, antibodies, peptides, DNA, RNA and genes. Graphene provides the ultra-high drug-loading efficiency due to the wide surface area. Graphene and graphene oxide have been widely investigated for biomedical applications due to their exceptional qualities: twodimensional planar structure, wide surface area, chemical and mechanical constancy, sublime conductivity and excellent biocompatibility. Due to these unique qualities, GO applications provide advanced drug transports frameworks and transports of a broad range of therapeutics. In this review, we discussed the latest advances and improvements in the uses of graphene and GO for drug transport and nanomedicine. Initially, we have described what is graphene and graphene oxide. After that, we discussed the qualities of GO as a drug carrier, utilization of GO in drug transport applications, targeted drug transport, transport of anticancer medications, chemical control medicine releasee, co-transport of different medications, comparison of GO with CNTs, nano-graphene for drug transport and at last, we have discussed the graphene toxicity. Finally, we draw a conclusion of current expansion and the potential outlook for the future.
受碳纳米管(CNTs)成就的启发,石墨烯和氧化石墨烯(GO)在之前的研究中作为一种创新的药物纳米载体得到了广泛的研究,用于负载各种治疗药物以及抗癌药物、溶解性差的药物、抗生素、抗体、肽、DNA、RNA 和基因。由于具有超宽的表面积,石墨烯提供了超高的药物负载效率。由于其卓越的品质,石墨烯和氧化石墨烯已被广泛研究用于生物医学应用:二维平面结构、超宽的表面积、化学和机械稳定性、卓越的导电性和出色的生物相容性。由于这些独特的品质,GO 的应用提供了先进的药物传输框架和广泛的治疗药物的传输。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了石墨烯和 GO 在药物传输和纳米医学中的最新进展和改进。首先,我们描述了什么是石墨烯和氧化石墨烯。之后,我们讨论了 GO 作为药物载体的特性、GO 在药物传输应用中的利用、靶向药物传输、抗癌药物的传输、化学控制药物释放、不同药物的共传输、GO 与 CNTs 的比较、用于药物传输的纳米石墨烯,最后,我们讨论了石墨烯的毒性。最后,我们得出了目前的扩展结论,并对未来的前景进行了展望。
