PEGylated Nano-Graphene Oxide for Delivery of Water Insoluble Cancer Drugs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors functionalized nano-graphene oxide (NGO), a novel graphitic material, with branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain a biocompatible NGO-PEG conjugate stable in various biological solutions, and used them for attaching hydrophobic aromatic molecules including a camptothecin analog, SN38 non-covalently via pi-pi stacking.
