Pectin-conjugated magnetic graphene oxide nanohybrid as a novel drug carrier for paclitaxel delivery.

Recent studies have shown that graphene oxide (GO) drug carrier functionalized with biocompatible natural polymers lead to higher loading efficacy and better stability with diminished cellular toxicity. Pectin (PEC) is one of the polysaccharide natural polymers, which has the potential to be used for drug delivery. In this work, we have successfully developed a novel PEC-conjugated magnetic GO nanocarrier for effective delivery of paclitaxel.
