Potential Directions in the Use of Graphene Nanomaterials in Pharmacology and Biomedicine (Review)

  • MOLECULAR BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF DRUG DESIGN AND MECHANISM OF DRUG ACTION
  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

This article provides a brief review of the current scientific literature on the structure, properties, and preparation of graphene nanomaterials (GNM) and their potential uses in pharmacology and biomedicine. The most important members of the graphene family are graphene itself and its oxide. GNM have been shown to have a set of unique physicochemical properties and have been studied intensely as substances for targeted drug delivery, gene transfection, hyperthermia, etc. GNM are regarded as potential nanomaterials for making implants and prostheses, and also as antibacterial substances. Problems facing researchers and requiring solution for successful introduction of GNM into practice are discussed.
