Abstract

The single-wall carbon nanohorn (CNH) is a type of nanocarbon that is shown here to be potentially useful as a drug delivery system (DDS). Research results on the structure of CNHs, the incorporation of drugs in them, and their surface functionalization are introduced. The specific advantages of a CNH-DDS are shown using experimental results on animals. The low toxicity of CNHs is also briefly considered. [TANSO 2013 (No. 260) 306–12.]
