| Research Abstract |
Recently, clinical application of single-walled carbon nanotube(SWCNT) has been proposed as drug delivery agents. In the present study, water-soluble fluorescent SWCNT(Cy5-PEG-CNT) has been synthesized by binding to fluorescent dye Cy5 and polyethylene glycol(PEG) in order to elucidate the pharmacokinetic properties of SWCNT. When Cy5-PEG-CNT was administered intravenously in Wistar rats, elimination rate from plasma was affected by its molecular weight. Disappearance of Cy5-PEG-CNT with low molecular weight from plasma was faster than that with high molecular weight. Cy5-PEG-CNT was excreted into urine and bile and the total cumulative amount of excretion was 60.70% of the dose administered. Cy5-PEG-CNT with low and high molecular weights was mainly excreted into the urine and bile, respectively. These findings suggest that the pharmacokinetics of SWCNT is able to control by changing the physicochemical properties.
