Synthesis of a biocompatible nanoporous carbon and its conjugation with florescent dye for cellular imaging and targeted drug delivery to cancer cells
A nanoporous carbon (NPC) was synthesized from Oil palm leaves (OPL) by pyrolysis at 600 °C in a N2 atmosphere, oxidized by a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids (3:1 vol/vol) and conjugated with coumarin-6 as a fluorescence dye for cellular imaging and drug delivery to cancer cells. The structure,...
