Carbon Nanotubes: a Promising Approach for Drug Delivery

Applications of carbon nanotubes in drug delivery.

The development of new and efficient drug delivery systems is of fundamental importance to improve the pharmacological profiles of many classes of therapeutic molecules. Many different types of drug delivery systems are currently available. Within the family of nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNT) have emerged as a new alternative and efficient tool for transporting and translocating therapeut...

Nanotubes: A New Carrier for Drug Delivery Systems

Nanotubes (NTs), nanometer-scale hollow cylinders, are emerging as promising drug vehicles offering many advantages over spherical particles. This paper briefly highlights the recent performance of NTs in drug delivery. This discussion is by no means intended to be complete, an attempt is made to provide some illustrative examples on the basis and application of the NT delivery systems. The NT ...
