| Abstract | Herein, we report an eco-friendly hydrothermal synthesis of one dimensional (1D) hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorods which were grown on two dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) sheets (1D-on-2D) using creatine phosphate as a biomolecular source for phosphorus. Comprehensive analyses were performed to study the structural, morphological and bio-physical properties of the as-prepared nanocomposites using several analytical techniques. Enthrallingly, the as-prepared nanocomposite was explored to study the adsorption–desorption property of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the HAp/GO nanocomposite. Notably, the observed data of adsorption–desorption process confirm the faster adsorption of BSA on HAp/GO nanocomposite. A maximum protein adsorption (Qo) of 350 mg g−1 in a neutral pH was attained for this nanocomposite and maximum release was obtained at a lower pH of 4. In addition, andrographolide, a model anticancer drug, was effectively loaded onto the HAp/GO nanocomposite through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Experimental results showed that the HAp/GO nanocomposite not only exhibited good biocompatibility but also acted as good carrier for anticancer drugs, thereby greatly reducing the side effects of free anticancer drugs administered at high doses. Also, we include the results of the MTT assay of andrographolide loaded nanocomposite in a normal cell line (HaCaT) for selective anti-cancer activity. Therefore, the as-synthesized HAp/GO nanocomposite may act as a promising drug delivery platform due to its good biocompatibility, pH sensitivity, high drug loading efficiency, selectivity, and excellent biodegradability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
