Release behaviour and toxicity evaluation of levodopa from carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes

Release behaviour and toxicity evaluation of levodopa from carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes

This work explores the potential use of commercially obtained, carboxylated, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT–COOH) as nanocarriers for the antiparkinson drug, levodopa (LD). The resulting nanohybrid was characterized using materials characterization methods including Fourier transform infrared...
