Abstract
Developing novel nanoscale carriers for drug delivery is of great significance for improving treatment efficiency and reducing side effects of antitumor drugs. In view of the good biocompatibility and special affinity of porphyrin (PP) molecule to cancer cells, it was used to construct a series of metal-doped M@PP (M = Ca ∼ Zn) materials for the delivery of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) in this work. Our results reveal that 5-Fu is tightly adsorbed on M@PP (M = Ca ∼ V, Mn ∼ Co, and Zn) by chemisorption, but is physically adsorbed by M@PP (M = Cr, Ni, and Cu). The calculated electronic properties show that all these 5-Fu@[M@PP] (M = Ca ∼ Zn) complexes have both high stability and solubility. Among these 5-Fu@[M@PP] complexes, the chemical bond formed between 5-Fu and Ti@PP has the strongest covalent characteristic, resulting in the largest adsorption energy of -19.93 kcal/mol for 5-Fu@[Ti@PP]. In particular, 5-Fu@[Ti@PP] has the proper recovery time under the near-infrared light at body temperature, which further suggests that Ti@PP is the best drug carrier for 5-Fu. This study not only reveals the interaction strength and nature between 5-Fu and M@PP, but also confirmed the intriguing potential of Ti@PP as nano-carrier for drug delivery. However, further experimental research should be conducted to verify the conclusion obtained in this work.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:38457-38472. [PMID: 35493251 PMCID: PMC9044057 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra06948a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The application of low-dimensional nanomaterials in clinical practice as efficient sensors has been increasing day by day due to progress in the field of nanoscience. In this research work, we have conducted a theoretical investigation to nominate a potential electrochemical sensor for the allopurinol (APN) drug molecule via studying the fundamental interactions of the drug molecule with two nanocages (carbon nanocage/CNC - C24 and boron nitride nanocage/BNNC - B12N12) and two nanosheets (graphene - C54H18 and boron nitride - B27N27H18) by means of the DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory in both gas and water phases. The adsorption energies of APN-BNNC conjugated structures are in the range of -20.90 kcal mol-1 to -22.33 kcal mol-1, which indicates that weak chemisorption has occurred. This type of interaction happened due to charge transfer from the APN molecule to BNNC, which was validated and characterized based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond analysis, and reduced density gradient analysis. The highest decreases in energy gap (36.22% in gas and 26.79% in water) and maximum dipole moment (10.48 Debye in gas and 13.88 Debye in water) were perceived for the APN-BNNC conjugated structure, which was also verified via frontier molecular orbital (FMO) and MEP analysis. Also, the highest sensitivity (BNNC > BNNS > CNC > GNS) and favorable short recovery time (in the millisecond range) of BNNC can make it an efficient detector for the APN drug molecule.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters have been considered as a new class of chemical sensors due to their unique electronic structures and the particular physicochemical properties. The interaction of N2 molecule with neutral and ionic magnesium nanoclusters Mg17q(q=0,±1), as well as neutral magnesium nanoclusters with the centrality of beryllium and calcium Mg16M (M=Be, Mg, and Ca) have been investigated using CAM-B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level of theory in the gas phase. The electronic properties of magnesium nanoclusters were significantly affected by the adsorption of N2 molecule. The NBO analysis revealed a charge transfer from the adsorbed N2 molecule to the nanocluster. Based on the adsorption energies and enthalpies, a thermodynamically favorable chemisorption process was predicted for the Mg16Ca-N2 complex. The negative value of the Gibbs free energy of Mg16Ca-N2 confirmed the spontaneous adsorption process. The estimated recovery time for Mg16Ca-N2 complex for 8-MR (0.089 s) and 4-MRs (0.075 s) illustrated a possible desorption process for N2 molecule from the surface of Mg16Ca. Our finding also revealed the Mg16Ca has the ability to use as a sensor for detection and absorption of N2 molecule.

Abstract
In this review article, we have presented a detailed analysis of the recent advancement of quantum mechanical calculations in the applications of the low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) into biomedical fields like biosensors and drug delivery systems development. Biosensors play an essential role for many communities, e.g. law enforcing agencies to sense illicit drugs, medical communities to remove overdosed medications from the human and animal body etc. Besides, drug delivery systems are theoretically being proposed for many years and experimentally found to deliver the drug to the targeted sites by reducing the harmful side effects significantly. In current COVID-19 pandemic, biosensors can play significant roles, e.g. to remove experimental drugs during the human trials if they show any unwanted adverse effect etc. where the drug delivery systems can be potentially applied to reduce the side effects. But before proceeding to these noble and expensive translational research works, advanced theoretical calculations can provide the possible outcomes with considerable accuracy. Hence in this review article, we have analyzed how theoretical calculations can be used to investigate LDNs as potential biosensor devices or drug delivery systems. We have also made a very brief discussion on the properties of biosensors or drug delivery systems which should be investigated for the biomedical applications and how to calculate them theoretically. Finally, we have made a detailed analysis of a large number of recently published research works where theoretical calculations were used to propose different LDNs for bio-sensing and drug delivery applications.
