Aim: Constructing a new drug-delivery system using carboxylated graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) for tumor chemotherapy in vivo. Materials & methods: A drug-delivery system was synthesized through a crosslink reaction of cGQDs, NH2-poly(ethylene glycol)-NH2 and folic acid. Results: A drug delivery system of folic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-cGQDs was successfully constructed with ideal entrapment efficiency (97.5%) and drug-loading capacity (40.1%). Cell image indicated that the nanosystem entered into human cervical cancer cells mainly through macropinocytosis-dependent pathway. In vivo experiments showed the outstanding antitumor ability and low systemic toxicity of this nanodrug-delivery system. Conclusion: The newly developed drug-delivery system provides an important alternative for tumor therapy without causing systemic adverse effects.
