Daunorubicin (DNR) is an anthracycline antitumor drug, which finds application
and daunorubicin attached via covalent bond to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, Figure 1) on model biological membranes was investigated using Langmuir technique. The model membranes were composed of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphothioethanol (DPPTE, Figure 1). This thiolipid has been used
nanotubes as drug delivery systems.
Structures of daunorubicin (DNR) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphothioethanol (DPPTE) used as a component of model membranes and single-walled carbon nanotubes modified with daunorubicin (SWCNTs-DNR).
