Abstract: Graphene Derivatives (GDs) have captured the interest and imagination of pharmaceutical
scientists. This review exclusively provides pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics information
with a particular focus on biopharmaceuticals. GDs can be used as multipurpose pharmaceutical delivery
systems due to their ultra-high surface area, flexibility, and fast mobility of charge carriers. Improved
effects, targeted delivery to tissues, controlled release profiles, visualization of biodistribution
and clearance, and overcoming drug resistance are examples of the benefits of GDs. This review
focuses on the application of GDs for the delivery of biopharmaceuticals. Also, the pharmacokinetic
properties and the advantage of using GDs in pharmaceutics will be reviewed to achieve a comprehensive
understanding about the GDs in pharmaceutical sciences.
