Article Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have been frequently used as one of the most advanced and fascinating nanocarriers for drug delivery applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. Varying types of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) including carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxides, carbon nanohorns, fullerenes, carbon nanodots, and carbon nanodiamonds are promising candidates for designing novel systems to deliver platinum compounds. CNMs modification with various moieties renders vast bio-applications in the area of targeted and organelle-specific cancer therapy. This review featured an updated and concise summarizations of various types of CNMs, their synthesis, advantages and disadvantages including potential bio-toxicity for biomedical applications. The therapeutic utility of CNMs and their efficacy have been noticed and for the first time, this review addressed CNMs-focused applications on the delivery of platinum-derivatives to the cancer site. Collectively, the contents of this review will assist researchers to focus on the possible fabrication, bio-functionalization and designing methods of CNMs to the further development of their future biomedical implementations.

Topoisomerases are essential hydrolases that facilitate the topological rearrangement of DNA by cleaving nucleic acid strands. Specifically, topoisomerase I (TOPO I) enhances DNA transcription by introducing single-strand breaks in the DNA double helix, relaxing supercoiled DNA, and catalyzing the subsequent re-ligation of the cleavage sites. However, the intricate catalytic mechanism of TOPO I has posed significant challenges for developing effective enzymatic mimics.
