Improving thermal stability and efficacy of BCNU in treating glioma cells using PAA-functionalized graphene oxide

BACKGROUND: 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), a commercial chemotherapeutic drug for treating malignant brain tumors, has poor thermal stability and a short half-life. Immobilization of BCNU on a nanocarrier might increase the thermal stability of BCNU and extend its half-life. METHODS: N...
