Abstract | ||||
Graphene is a crystalline form of carbon that is regarded as a novel and innovative product. carboxylated nanographene oxide sheets (NGO-COOH) was synthesized using a modified Hummer's method and assess their medical significance. NGO-COOH were successfully synthesized with an average size of 40 nm. FT-IR, UV–Vis, XPS spectrophotometry, and TEM were used to thoroughly describe them. The cytotoxicity function of NGO-COOH nanosheets were tested against cell line. The radiosynthesized [99mTc]Tc-NGO-COOH had a high radiolabeling yield (97.3±0.45 %). The tumor uptake of [99mTc]Tc-NGO-COOH nanosheets in an in vivo biodistribution model in tumor-bearing mice was high. NGO-COOH nanosheets may be a promising imaging agent, based on these findings. | ||||
