Overview

This study synthesized carbon dots (CDs) using difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor used in neuroblastoma treatment. These DFMO CDs effectively reduced cell viability in neuroblastoma cell lines at significantly lower concentrations than conventional DFMO, demonstrating a robust advantage. Bioimaging and DNA electrophoresis revealed that DFMO CDs can enter the nucleus of cells and interact with DNA. The study suggests that DFMO CDs have potential as a novel therapeutic agent for neuroblastoma.
