Starch-borate-graphene oxide nanocomposites as highly efficient targeted antitumor drugs

We synthesized novel borate antitumor drugs sourced from starch–borate–graphene oxide (SBG) nanocomposites. In vitro results suggest that SBG from the molar ratio of nstarch : nborate : nGO at 2 : 1 : 1 exhibits excellent biocompatibility with normal human cells (>90% cell viability), but are highly toxic against cancer cells (<20% cell viability).4 page(s
