Rational Chemical Multifunctionalization of Graphene Interface Enhances Targeted Cancer Therapy

The synthesis of a drug delivery platform based on graphene was achieved through a step‐by‐step strategy of selective amine deprotection and functionalization. The multifunctional graphene platform, functionalized with indocyanine green, folic acid, and doxorubicin showed an enhanced anticancer activity. The remarkable targeting capacity for cancer cells in combination with the synergistic effect of drug release and photothermal properties prove the great advantage of a combined chemo‐ and phototherapy based on graphene against cancer, opening the doors to future therapeutic applications of this type of material.

A multifunctional graphene conjugate was designed for cancer treatment, as reported by E. Miyako, A. Bianco, and co-workers in their Communication on page 14034. The image depicts the three regalia–crown, orb, and sword–representing triply chemically modified graphene as the strongest approach for cancer therapy. PNICTOCHEM 804110 (G.A.)
