Biophysical binding profile with ct-DNA and cytotoxic studies of a modulated nanoconjugate of umbelliferone cobalt oxide loaded on graphene oxide (GO) as drug carrier
In an attempt to identify suitable nano-carriers for drug delivery, natural drug umbelliferone was chosen to synthesize new modulated nanoconjugate of umbelliferone cobalt oxide with cobalt (II) nitrate in one pot assembly in the presence of tannic acid. The synthesized nanoconjugate drug (NCD) was then loaded on graphene oxide (GO) as drug carrier by simple ultrasonication method and thoroughly characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XRD, EPR and thermogravimetric analysis) which revealed the successful loading of the nanoconjugate drug on GO. The UV-visible, fluorescence and electrochemical studies suggested that strong π-π stacking interactions exist between nanoconjugate drug and GO. The binding studies of NCD-GO with ct-DNA were performed by various optical and biophysical methods
