Improving the Hydrophilicity of the Drugs Paclitaxel, Violacein, and Tetrandrine Using Carbon-Based Quantum Dots

Carbon-based quantum dots and their nitrogen- and sulfur-doped derivatives were used as platforms to improve the aqueous solubility for Paclitaxel, Violacein and Tetrandrine, drugs with known high partition coefficients (Log P). Paclitaxel, Violacein and Tetrandrine showed a sign...
