Abstract
Intercalation compounds represent a unique class of materials that can be anisotropic (1D and 2D-based topology) or isotropic (3D) through their guest/host superlattice repetitive organisation. Intercalation refers to the reversible introduction of guest species with variable natures into a crystalline host lattice. Different host lattice structures have been used for the preparation of intercalation compounds, and many examples are produced by exploiting the flexibility and the ability of 2D-based hosts to accommodate different guest species, ranging from ions to complex molecules. This reaction is then carried out to allow systematic control and fine tuning of the final properties of the derived compounds, thus allowing them to be used for various applications. This review mainly focuses on the recent applications of intercalation layered compounds (ILCs) based on layered clays, zirconium phosphates, layered double hydroxides and graphene as heterogeneous catalysts, for environmental and health purposes, aiming at collecting and discussing how intercalation processes can be exploited for the selected applications.

Abstract
HIV is one of the most threatening health conditions with a highly increasing rate, affecting millions of people globally, and from its time of discovery until now, its potential cure cannot be explicitly defined. This challenge of having no/low effective drugs for the subjected virus has called for serious attention in the scientific world of virus disease therapeutics. Most of these drugs yields low effectiveness due to poor delivery; hence, there is a need for novel engineering methods for efficient delivery. In this study, two nanomaterilas (graphene; GP, and fullerene; C60) were modelled and investigated with sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and oxygen (O) atoms, to facilitate the delivery of zidovudine (ZVD). This investigation was computationally investigated using the density functional theory (DFT), calculated at B3LYP functional and Gd3bj/Def2svp level of theory. Results from the frontier molecular orbital (FMO), revealed that the GP/C60_S_ZVD complex calculated the least energy gap of 0.668 eV, thus suggesting a favourable interactions. The study of adsorption energy revealed chemisorption among all the interacting complexes wherein GP/C60_S_ZVD complex (-1.59949 eV) was highlighted as the most interacting system, thereby proving its potential for the delivery of ZVD. The outcome of this research urges that a combination of GP and C60 modified with chalcogen particularly, O, S, and Se can aid in facilitating the delivery of zidovudine.

Abstract
A superficial, one step thermal polycondensation method has been employed for the manifestation of graphene like graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalyst. The as synthesized g-C3N4 was well characterized by SEM and EDAX analysis, XRD, ATR-IR, FTIR, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy which provide structural, morphological assemblage relating to the structure of g-C3N4. The g-C3N4 showed that an outstanding photochemical stability, morphology, conductive carbon framework and superior photocatalytic activity. The band gap value of g-C3N4 is 2.34 eV determined using Tauc plot. Due to low band gap (2.33 eV) and unique morphology which provides high separation and migration ability of the photogenerated charges, the g-C3N4 shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for the removal of many organic dyes such as Rhodamine B (RhB), Crystal Violet (CV), Methylene Blue (MB), Methyl Orange (MO), Naphthol Orange (NO) and a phenol derivative, p-Nitrophenol (p-NP). Among them, RhB dye was degraded almost 81 % at 90 min under sunlight irradiation in presence g-C3N4 while other dyes and p-NP was degraded at lower rate. From the experimental data, it was found that MO and p-NP degradation rate was least. The rate constant for degradation of Rh B is 1.1 × 10-2 min-1. Therefore, g-C3N4 can be used as an efficient photocatalyst for waste water treatment by the removal of such organic pollutants.

Abstract
Metal-free, low-cost, organic photocatalytic graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has become a promising and impressive material in numerous scientific fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. As a semiconductor with a suitable band gap of ~2.7 eV, g-C3N4 is an active photocatalytic material even after irradiation with visible light. However, information regarding the toxicity of g-C3N4 is not extensively documented and there is not a comprehensive understanding of its potential adverse effects on human health or the environment. In this context, the term "toxicity" can be perceived in both a positive and a negative light, depending on whether it serves as a benefit or poses a potential risk. This review shows the applications of g-C3N4 in sensorics, electrochemistry, photocatalysis, and biomedical approaches while pointing out the potential risks of its toxicity, especially in human and environmental health. Finally, the future perspective of g-C3N4 research is addressed, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of the toxicity of this material to provide safe and effective applications in various fields.

Abstract
In the past three decades, interest in using carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) in biomedical application has witnessed remarkable growth. Despite the rapid advancement, the translation of laboratory experimentation to clinical applications of nanomaterials is one of the major challenges. This might be attributed to poor understanding of bio-nano interface. Arguably, the most significant barrier is the complexity that arises by interplay of several factors like properties of nanomaterial (shape, size, surface chemistry), its interaction with suspending media (surface hydration and dehydration, surface reconstruction and release of free surface energy) and the interaction with biomolecules (conformational change in biomolecules, interaction with membrane and receptor). Tailoring a nanomaterial that minimally interacts with protein and lipids in the medium while effectively acts on target site in biological milieu has been very difficult. Computational methods and artificial intelligence techniques have displayed potential in effectively addressing this problem. Through predictive modelling and deep learning, computer-based methods have demonstrated the capability to create accurate models of interactions between nanoparticles and cell membranes, as well as the uptake of nanomaterials by cells. Computer-based simulations techniques enable these computational models to forecast how making particular alterations to a material's physical and chemical properties could enhance functional aspects, such as the retention of drugs, the process of cellular uptake and biocompatibility. We review the most recent progress regarding the bio-nano interface studies between the plasma proteins and CBNs with a special focus on computational simulations based on molecular dynamics and density functional theory.

Abstract
The hydrolysis mechanism of americium was calculated using density functional theory, and the detailed microscopic reaction mechanism was obtained. The results show that americium reacts with water along the octet state to produce oxides and H2, and that this reaction is exothermic. The interaction between Am and O atoms gradually changes from initially electrostatic interaction to covalent interaction, and continues to strengthen. During the reaction process, Am atoms always lose electrons, the 5f orbital is obviously involved, and there is df orbital hybridization. This study provides the necessary theoretical data support for the theoretical and experimental study of the actinide system.

Abstract
Ab initio calculations were performed to determine the sensing behavior of g-C3N4 and Li metal-doped g-C3N4 (Li/g-C3N4) quantum dots toward toxic compounds acetamide (AA), benzamide (BA), and their thio-analogues, namely, thioacetamide (TAA) and thiobenzamide (TAA). For optimization and interaction energies, the ωB97XD/6-31G(d,p) level of theory was used. Interaction energies (Eint) illustrate the high thermodynamic stabilities of the designed complexes due to the presence of the noncovalent interactions. The presence of electrostatic forces in some complexes is also observed. The observed trend of Eint in g-C3N4 complexes was BA > TAA > AA > TBA, while in Li/g-C3N4, the trend was BA > AA > TBA > TAA. The electronic properties were studied by frontier molecular orbital (FMO) and natural bond orbital analyses. According to FMO, lithium metal doping greatly enhanced the conductivity of the complexes by generating new HOMOs near the Fermi level. A significant amount of charge transfer was also observed in complexes, reflecting the increase in charge conductivity. NCI and QTAIM analyses evidenced the presence of significant noncovalent dispersion and electrostatic forces in Li/g-C3N4 and respective complexes. Charge decomposition analysis gave an idea of the transfer of charge density between quantum dots and analytes. Finally, TD-DFT explained the optical behavior of the reported complexes. The findings of this study suggested that both bare g-C3N4 and Li/g-C3N4 can effectively be used as atmospheric sensors having excellent adsorbing properties toward toxic analytes.

Abstract
Carbon nitride (C3N4) is an innovative material with a high potential in many applications including energy storage, catalysis, composites, and biomedicine. C3N4 appears remarkably interesting not only for its properties but also because its simple preparation routes involve low-cost starting materials and reagents. However, there is still a lack of information on its degradability. For this reason, in this study, we evaluate the environmental persistence of C3N4 and its oxidized form by applying the photo-Fenton reaction. The morphological and structural changes of both materials were monitored by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy respectively. In addition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been used as an original technique to validate the degradation process of C3N4.

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, boron oxide nanoflake is analyzed as drug carrier for favipiravir using computational studies. The thermodynamic stability of the boron oxide and favipiravir justifies the strong interaction between both species. Four orientations are investigated for the interaction between the favipiravir and the B3O3 nanoflake. The Eint of the most stable orientation is -26.98 kcal/mol, whereas the counterpoise-corrected energy is -22.59 kcal/mol. Noncovalent interaction index (NCI) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analyses are performed to obtain insights about the behavior and the types of interactions that occur between B3O3 nanoflake and favipiravir. The results indicate the presence of hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen in the favipiravir and the oxygen in the B3O3 nanoflake in the most stable complex (FAV@B3O3-C1). The electronic properties are investigated through frontier molecular orbital analysis, dipole moments and chemical reactivity descriptors. These parameters showed the significant activity of B3O3 for favipiravir. NBO charge analysis transfer illustrated the charge transfer between the two species, and UV-VIS analysis confirmed the electronic excitation. Our work suggested a suitable drug carrier system for the antiviral drug favipiravir, which can be considered by the experimentalist for better drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this project, the possibility of drug delivery application of three anti-Multiple sclerosis (MS) agents (containing diroximel fumarate (DXF), dimethyl fumarate (DMF), and mono methyl fumarate (MMF)) by using some heteroatom decorated graphitic carbonitride (g-C3N4) (as nano-sized carriers) have been systematically investigated. The results of the study have indicated that As-g-C3N4 QD is not a suitable candidate for drug delivery (at least in the cases of DMF, and DXF drugs); while, it would be an accurate semiconductor sensor for selective detection of each mentioned agents. Also, the use of the P-doped as well as pristine g-C3N4 QD could lead to weak electronic signals with relatively same values (in electronvolts). It means that P-g-C3N4, and g-C3N4 QDs are not good sensors for detection of each of the three considered drugs. However, those two sorbents would be suitable carriers for delivering of all three mentioned pharmaceuticals.

A DFT approach for finding therapeutic potential of graphyne as a nanocarrier in the doxorubicin drug delivery to treat cancer. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 124:108537. [PMID: 37321062 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In the present work, the drug-loading efficacy of graphyne (GYN) for doxorubicin (DOX) drug is investigated for the first time by using density functional theory (DFT). Doxorubicin drug is effective in the cure of numerous types of cancer including bone cancer, gastric, thyroid, bladder, ovarian, breast, and soft tissue cancer. Doxorubicin drug prevents the cell division process by intercalating in the double-helix of DNA and stopping its replication. The optimized, geometrical, energetic, and excited-state characteristics of graphyne (GYN), doxorubicin drug (DOX), and doxorubicin-graphyne complex (DOX@GYN complex) are calculated to see how effective it is as a carrier. The DOX drug interacted with GYN with an adsorption-energy of -1.57 eV (gas-phase). The interaction of GYN with DOX drug is investigated using NCI (non-covalent interaction) analysis. The findings of this analysis showed that the DOX@GYN complex has weak forces of interaction. Charge transfer from doxorubicin drug to GYN during DOX@GYN complex formation is described by charge-decomposition analysis and HOMO-LUMO analysis. The increased dipole-moment (8.41 D) of the DOX@GYN in contrast with therapeutic agent DOX and GYN indicated that the drug will move easily in the biochemical system. Furthermore, the photo-induced electron-transfer process is explored for excited states, and it reveals that upon interaction, fluorescence-quenching will occur in the complex DOX@GYN. In addition, the influence of the positive and negative charge states on the GYN and DOX@GYN is also considered. Overall, the findings indicated that the GYN could be exploited as an effective drug-transporter for the delivery of doxorubicin drug. Investigators will be inspired to look at another 2D nanomaterials for drug transport applications as a result of this theoretical work.

Elucidating the adsorption of 2-Mercaptopyridine drug on the aluminum phosphide (Al 12P 12) nanocage: A DFT study. Heliyon 2023; 9:e18690. [PMID: 37560653 PMCID: PMC10407676 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Adsorption amplitude of the aluminum phosphide (Al12P12) nanocage toward the 2-Mercaptopyridine (MCP) drug was herein monitored based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption process through MCP⋅⋅⋅Al12P12 complex in various configurations was elucidated by means of adsorption (Eads) energies. According to the energetic affirmations, the Al12P12 nanocage demonstrated potential versatility toward adsorbing the MCP drug within the investigated configurations and exhibited significant negative adsorption energies up to -27.71 kcal/mol. Upon the results of SAPT analysis, the electrostatic forces showed the highest contributions to the overall adsorption process with energetic values up to -74.36 kcal/mol. Concurrently, variations of molecular orbitals distribution along with alterations in the energy gap (Egap) and Fermi level (EFL) of the studied nanocage were denoted after adsorbing the MCP drug. The favorable impact of water solvent within the MCP⋅⋅⋅Al12P12 complexes was unveiled and confirmed by negative solvation energy (ΔEsolv) values up to -17.75 kcal/mol. According to thermodynamic parameters, the spontaneous and exothermic natures of the considered adsorption process were proclaimed by negative values of ΔG and ΔH parameters. Significant changes in the IR and Raman peaks, along with the appearance of new peaks, were noticed, confirming the occurrence of the targeted adsorption process. Furthermore, the adsorption features of the MCP drug on the Al12N12 nanocage were elucidated and compared to the Al12P12 analog. The obtained results demonstrated the higher preferability of Al12P12 nanocage than the Al12N12 candidate towards adsorbing the MCP drug without structural distortion.

Therapeutic potential of oxo-triarylmethyl (oxTAM) as a targeted drug delivery system for nitrosourea and fluorouracil anticancer drugs; A first principles insight. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 122:108469.

Abstract
In this study, oxygenated triarylmethyl (oxTAM) is investigated by DFT calculations as a drug carrier framework for Nitrosourea (NU) and Fluorouracil (FU) drugs. Based on the adsorption analysis i.e., energies and distances between interacting atoms, it is found that oxTAM exhibits excellent carrier abilities for the delivery of FU (-1.53 eV & 2.00 Å) and NU (-1.33 eV & 2.12 Å) drugs. NCI and QTAIM results indicate the presence of hydrogen bonding in drug-carrier complexes. The values of dipole moment and global chemical descriptors show the significant reactivity of oxTAM for NU and FU drugs. Based on electronic property analysis, FU@oxTAM has a higher adsorption trend for complexation with oxTAM as compared to NU@oxTAM. Moreover, FU can easily release from the carrier due to the decreasing adsorption stability after protonation under an acidic environment as well as a short recovery time observed for the oxTAM carrier surface. Keeping in view all the above parameters, we inferred that oxTAM can serve as a potential drug delivery system for anticancer drugs including, Nitrosourea and Fluorouracil drugs.

Controlled supramolecular interactions for targeted release of Amiodarone drug through Graphyne to treat cardiovascular diseases: An in silico study. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 121:108452. [PMID: 36963305 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
In the current study, the drug loading ability of graphyne (GY) for the amiodarone (AMD) drug is investigated for the first time. The efficacy of GY as a carrier for amiodarone (a cardiovascular drug) is evaluated by calculating its electronic, energetic, optimized, and excited state properties with help of the density functional theory (DFT). The AMD drug interacted with the GY molecule with an adsorption energy of about -0.19 eV (gas-phase) and -1.92 eV (aqueous phase), suggesting that the AMD@GY complex is stable in water-phase. The HOMO (highest-occupied molecular-orbital) of the AMD@GY complex is concentrated on the AMD drug while the LUMO (lowest-unoccupied molecular-orbital) is centralized on GY with absolute charge separation, indicating charge transfer will occur between AMD and GY. The charge-transfer process is further studied with the aid of charge-decomposition analysis (CDA). The non-covalent interaction analysis (NCI) exposed that non-covalent forces exist between the GY carrier and AMD drug. These non-covalent forces between AMD drug and GY carrier play a significant role in drug unloading at the targeted or diseased site. Likewise, the calculations at excited-state, charge-state (+1 and -1) influence on GY and AMD@GY complex structures, and photo-induced electron transfer analysis (PET) are also studied for the graphyne-based drug-delivery system. According to PET and electron-hole analysis, fluorescence-quenching will occur upon interaction. Overall, it is concluded that graphyne can be exploited as a drug carrier for amiodarone drug delivery. Researchers will be fascinated to look at alternative 2D nanomaterials for drug delivery applications as a result of this theoretical work.

Abstract
Although quercetin (QC) has valuable advantages, its low water solubility and poor permeability have limited its utilization as an anticancer drug. In this study, hydrogel nanocomposite of chitosan (CS), halloysite (HNT), and graphitic‑carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared and loaded by QC using a water in oil in water emulsification process to attain QC sustained-release. Using g-C3N4 in the HNT/CS hydrogel solution enhanced the entrapment effectiveness (EE %) by up to 86 %. The interactions between QC and nanoparticles caused the nanocomposite pH-responsive behavior that assists in minimizing the side effect of the anticancer agent by controlling the burst release of QC at neutral conditions. According to DLS analysis, the size of the QC-loaded nanovehicle was 454.65 nm, showing that nanoparticles are highly monodispersed, which also was approved by FE-SEM. Additionally, Zeta potential value for the fabricated drug-loaded nanocarrier is +55.23 mV displaying that nanoparticles have good stability. The hydrogel nanocomposite structure's completeness was shown by FTIR pattern, and quercetin was included into the designed delivery system based on XRD data. Besides, the drug release profile indicated that a targeted sustained-release and pH-sensitive release of anticancer drug with the 96-hour extended-release were noticed. In order to comprehend the process of QC release at pH 5.4 and 7.4, four kinetic models were employed to find the best-suited model according to the acquired release data. Finally, the MTT experiment revealed considerable cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells, MCF-7 cell line was experimented in vitro, for the CS/HNT/g-C3N4 targeted delivery system in comparison to QC as a free drug. According to the above description, the CS/HNT/g-C3N4 delivery platform is a unique pH-sensitive drug delivery system for anticancer purposes that improves loading as well as sustained-release of quercetin.

Abstract
Planar (2D) nanomaterials are garnering broad recognition in diverse scientific areas because of their intrinsic features. Herein, bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared from melamine, which was exfoliated to produce g-C3N4 nanosheets. The prepared g-C3N4 nanosheets were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photo luminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The stable dispersion of a g-C3N4 nanosheet was incorporated into a PVA/Gelatin matrix to explore its efficacy as a promising drug carrier. A remarkable 42% increase in tensile strength for 1% g-C3N4/PVA/Gelatin was attained compared with that of the PVA/Gelatin film. Thermal stability increased due to addition of g-C3N4 nanosheet in the PVA/Gelatin film, where the maximum thermal degradation temperature increased by 9.5 °C when the 1% nanosheet was added to the PVA/Gelatin film. Moreover, the g-C3N4 nanosheets and g-C3N4/PVA/Gelatin showed no cytotoxicity against HeLa and BHK-21 cells. To investigate the in vitro drug releasing efficacy, ciprofloxacin was incorporated into g-C3N4/PVA/Gelatin. Experimental results showed a 62% drug release within 120 min at physiological pH 7.4. The data was curve fitted by different kinetic models of drug release to understand the drug release mechanism. The experimental data was found to fit best with the Higuchi model and revealed the diffusion control mechanism of drug release. Additionally, antibacterial study confirmed the drug release potency from g-C3N4/PVA/Gelatin film on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The above-mentioned promising findings might lead to an opportunity of using g-C3N4 as a potential drug carrier.

DFT study of therapeutic potential of graphitic carbon nitride as a carrier for controlled release of melphalan: an anticancer drug. J Mol Model 2022; 28:359.

Abstract
In the present research, the drug-delivery efficiency of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) for melphalan (an anti-cancer drug) was evaluated. To investigate the efficacy of g-CN as a drug-delivery system, the electronic properties of melphalan drug, g-CN, and g-CN-melphalan were calculated at the ground and excited states. The adsorption energy calculated for g-CN-melphalan complex in the water phase is - 1.51 eV. The interactions between g-CN and melphalan were investigated by a non-covalent interactions (NCl) analysis, which showed that there were weak interactions between g-CN and melphalan drug. These low intermolecular forces will allow for easy off-loading of the melphalan at the targeted site. Frontier molecular-orbitals (FMOs) analysis showed that the charge was transferred from melphalan to g-CN during the excitation process. Charge transfer was studied by charge decomposition analysis. Calculations at the excited state revealed that the g-CN-melphalan complex's λmax showed a redshift of 15 nm and 39 nm in the gas and water phase, respectively. The photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process was studied for 1-2 excited state by using electron hole theory. PET process suggests that fluorescence quenching may take place. The findings demonstrated that g-CN can be used as a drug-delivery system for melphalan drug to treat cancer. This investigation may also encourage more consideration of different 2D substances for drug delivery.

Abstract
The DFT study on the adsorption behaviour of the C24, B12N12, and Al12N12 nanocages and their heteronanocages towards the anticancer drug cisplatin (CP) was performed in gas and water media. Among the three pristine nanocages, Al12N12 exhibited high adsorption energy ranging from -1.98 to -1.63 eV in the gas phase and -1.47 to -1.39 eV in water media. However, their heterostructures C12-Al6N6 and B6N6-Al6N6 showed higher interaction energies (-2.22 eV and -2.14 eV for C12-Al6N6 and B6N6-Al6N6) with a significant amount of charge transfer. Noteworthy variations in electronic properties were confirmed by FMO analysis and DOS spectra analysis after the adsorption of the cisplatin drug on B12N12 and B6N6-Al6N6 nanocages. Furthermore, an analysis of quantum molecular descriptors unveiled salient decrement in global hardness and increments in electrophilicity index and global softness occurred after the adsorption of CP on B12N12 and B6N6-Al6N6. On the other hand, the above-mentioned fluctuations are not so noteworthy in the case of the adsorption of CP on Al12N12, C12-B6N6, and C12-Al6N6. Concededly, energy calculation, FMO analysis, ESP map, DOS spectra, quantum molecular descriptors, dipole moment, COSMO surface analysis, QTAIM analysis, and work function analysis predict that B12N12 and B6N6-Al6N6 nanocages exhibit high sensitivity towards CP drug molecules.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems transfer medications to target locations throughout the body. These systems are often made up of biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymers acting as delivery components. The introduction of density functional theory (DFT) has tremendously aided the application of computational material science in the design and development of drug delivery materials. The use of DFT and other computational approaches avoids time-consuming empirical processes. Therefore, this review explored how the DFT computation may be utilized to explain some of the features of polymer-based drug delivery systems. First, we went through the key aspects of DFT and provided some context. Then we looked at the essential characteristics of a polymer-based drug delivery system that DFT simulations could predict. We observed that the Gaussian software had been extensively employed by researchers, particularly with the B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d, p) basic sets for polymer-based drug delivery systems. However, to give researchers a choice of basis set for modelling complicated organic systems, such as polymer-drug complexes, we then offered possible resources and presented the future trend.

Abstract
The presented study was designed to estimate the ability of hypericin to interact with the anticancer drug doxorubicin. The hetero-association of hypericin and doxorubicin was investigated with absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy methods in aqueous solution of DMSO in two-component mixtures: doxorubicin-hypericin and three component mixtures: DNA-doxorubicin-hypericin. The data indicate that hypericin forms complexes with doxorubicin and that the association constants are on the order of 300,000 M-1 in a buffer with 30% DMSO content. The absorption spectra of the hypericin - doxorubicin complexes were examined as well. Owing to its ability to interact with flat aromatic compounds, hypericin may potentially be used as an interceptor molecule to detoxification of patients after chemotherapy.

Abstract
During environmental testing, scientists face the problem of developing and designing a new type of sensor electrode with distinguished stability, high activity, and cost-effectiveness to detect acetaminophen (ACE). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate the interaction and electrical response of Zn-doped and pristine boron nitride nanocones (BNNCs) with and to ACE with the disclination angle of 240°. The adsorption energy for ACE in the Zn-doped was - 56.94 kJ.mol-1. This value for BNNCs was approximately - 26.11 kJ.mol-1. Furthermore, after the adsorption of ACE, the value of band gap (Eg) for Zn-doped BNNCs decreased significantly (from 4.01 to 3.10 eV), thereby increasing the electrical conductivity. However, Eg value of the pristine BNNCs decreased marginally after the adsorption of ACE. Compared with the pristine BNNCs, the Zn-doped BNNCs could be considered promising materials for the detection of ACE and could be employed in electronic sensors. In the Zn-doped BNNCs, the molecular and electrostatic interactions and the creation of Zn-O bond played key roles in the adsorption of ACE. The Zn-doped BNNCs had other merits such as slight recovery time which was approximately 7.09 ms for the desorption of ACE at ambient temperature.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the adsorption of ammonium ion on carbon materials. The effects of single and multiple adjacent functional groups of carbon structures on ammonium ion adsorption were emphasized. The electrostatic potential, adsorption energy, charge transfer, molecular orbital, and dipole moment of different configurations were analyzed. Results showed that the carbonyl group was more likely to adsorb ammonium ion than lactone, carboxyl, and hydroxyl. When the carbon material contained multiple adjacent functional groups at the same time, the adsorption of ammonium ion can be promoted or inhibited due to the interaction among functional groups. The effect of functional groups on the adsorption of π bond in carbon materials was related to the electronegativity of functional groups, i.e., greater electronegativity led to smaller adsorption energy of π bond. Carbon material itself is nonpolar and hydrophobic, so adding oxygen-containing functional groups can increase the dipole moment of carbon material molecules, thereby enhancing its polarity and adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were utilized to assess the drug delivery efficiency of phosphorene carrier for nebivolol drug to treat cardiovascular diseases. The optimized structures, excited state, and electronic properties of nebivolol, phosphorene, and nebivolol-phosphorene (nebivolol-PH) complex were considered to determine the drug delivery ability of phosphorene at the target site. The increased dipole moment (6.08 D) results in the higher solubility of the complex in polar solvents (water). Weak interactive forces between nebivolol and phosphorene were demonstrated by the non-covalent interaction (NCI) plot that facilitated the offloading of nebivolol at the targeted area. The analysis of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) revealed that during excitation, the charge was transferred from nebivolol as a higher occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to phosphorene as a lower unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Thus, the charge-transfer process was further studied by charge decomposition analysis (CDA). The calculated results at the excited state for the nebivolol-PH complex exhibited that the maximum wavelength (λmax) was red-shifted by 6 nm in the gas phase. The electron-hole theory and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes were carried out for the exploration of different excited states of the complex. Additionally, phosphorene with + 1 and - 1 charge states indicated the minor structural changes and provide the stable nebivolol-PH complex. This theoretical study also investigated that phosphorene can be exploited as an effective carrier for the delivery of a therapeutic agent as nebivolol to treat cardiovascular diseases. This work will also encourage the researchers to investigate the other 2D nanoparticles as a nano-drug delivery system (NDDS).

Abstract
The urgency for new materials in oncology is immediate. In this study we have developed the g-C3N4, a graphitic-like structure formed by periodically linked tris-s-triazine units. The g-C3N4has been synthesized by a simple and fast thermal process. XRD has shown the formation of the crystalline sheet with a compacted structure. The graphite-like structure and the functional groups have been shown by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. TEM image and AFM revealed the porous composed of five or six C-N layers stacked. DRS and Photoluminescence analyses confirmed the structure with band gap of 2.87 eV and emission band at 448 nm in different wavelengths excitation conditions. The biological results showed inhibitory effect on cancer cell lines and non-toxic effect in normal cell lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work demonstrating the cytotoxic effects of 2D g-C3N4in a cancer cell line, without any external or synergistic influence. The biodistribution/tissue accumulation showed that g-C3N4present a tendency to accumulation on the lung in the first 2 h, but after 24 h the profile of the biodistribution change and it is found mainly in the liver. Thus, 2D-g-C3N4showed great potential for the treatment of several cancer types.
