Abstract
Tras el aislamiento del grafeno en 2004 y la descripción de sus características únicas, son muchos los investigadores que se han interesado por estudiar este material.1 Los campos de investigación en los que se involucra, son múltiples y muy diversos tales como nuevas tecnológicas (telefonía, automovilística…), industria textil (aditivo para pieles, material deportivo…), construcción (aditivo de hormigón, adhesivos industriales…) así como en el campo de las ciencias de la salud (biosensores, prótesis dentales, nanomedicina…)2 donde ha cobrado especial relevancia por su gran potencial.
El objetivo del presente trabajo, es dar a conocer algunas de las características más relevantes de este material como su gran potencial químico, los métodos de síntesis actuales que aún continúan sin poseer un buen balance rendimiento-coste y sobre todo exponer en esta revisión bibliográfica, los resultados obtenidos en diversas investigaciones que emplean el grafeno para el tratamiento del cáncer mediante terapias como liberación controlada de fármacos, combinaciones farmacológicas, liberación farmacogénica, fototerapia…etc. Por último, se destacan las principales empresas españolas que producen este material.
After the isolation of Graphene in 2004 and the description of its unique features, there are many researchers who are interested in studying this material. It is involved in multiple and very diverse fields such as new technologies (telephones, automobiles...), textile industry (additive for skins, sports material...), construction (additive of concrete, industrial adhesives...) as well as in the field of the Health Sciences (biosensors, dentures, nanomedicine...) where has gained special importance because his great potential. The aim of this paper is to present some of the most relevant characteristics of this material like his chemical potential and methods of current synthesis. Otherwise this process don´t have a good cost-efficiency balance yet. This review is focused on the results obtained in different investigations using graphene for the treatment of cancer. Actually there are many therapies like controlled drug release, drug combination, farmacogenetics, phototherapy... etc. Finally, this article exposes the most important companies that work with graphene in Spain.
