A theranostic nanomedicine (CD-Oxa) is synthesized by means of the condensation reaction between the amino groups on the surface of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) and the carboxyl group of the oxaliplatin derivative Oxa(IV)-COOH. CD-Oxa, which integrates the optical properties of CDs and the anticancer function of oxaliplatin, could be used for simultaneous drug delivery and fluorescent tracking.
