Abstract
The Ni and Co doping effect on the ciclopirox (CPX) drug delivery performance of a ZnO nanosheet (ZnO-NS) was investigated theoretically. Doping Ni and Co metals into the ZnO-NS increased the adsorption energy of CPX from -7.9 to -27.4 and -31.7 kcal/mol, respectively. The CPX adsorption reduced the ZnO-NS gap (Eg) from 3.81 to 3.46 eV, while the CPX adsorption reduced the Eg of the Ni- and Co-doped ZnO-NS from 2.74 and 2.68 eV to 1.87 and 1.71 eV, respectively. The CPX adsorption performance increased after doping process. A drug release mechanism was introduced in cancerous tissues based on the PH..

Understanding the Interaction Mechanism between the Epinephrine Neurotransmitter and Small Gold Nanoclusters (Au n; n = 6, 8, and 10): A Computational Insight. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:3373-3383. [PMID: 38284044 PMCID: PMC10809666 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the interaction between the neurotransmitter epinephrine and small gold nanoclusters (AunNCs) with n = 6, 8, and 10 is described by density functional theory calculations. The interaction of Au6, Au8, and Au10 nanoclusters with epinephrine is governed by Au-X (X = N and O) anchoring bonding and Au···H-X conventional hydrogen bonding. The interaction mechanism of epinephrine with gold nanoclusters is investigated in terms of electronic energy and geometrical properties. The adsorption energy values for the most favorable configurations of Au6NC@epinephrine, Au8NC@epinephrine, and Au10NC@epinephrine were calculated to be -17.45, -17.86, and -16.07 kcal/mol, respectively, in the gas phase. The results indicate a significant interaction of epinephrine with AunNCs and point to the application of the biomolecular complex AunNC@epinephrine in the fields of biosensing, drug delivery, bioimaging, and other applications. In addition, some important electronic properties, namely, the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO, the Fermi level, and the work function, were computed. The effect of aqueous media on adsorption energy and electronic parameters for the most favorable configurations was also studied to explore the influence of physical biological conditions.

Abstract
We present a computational study on the optical absorption properties of some systems of interest in the field of drug delivery. In particular we considered as drug molecules favipiravir (T705, an antiviral molecule) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU, an anticancer molecule) and, on the other hand, pure fullerenes (C24, B12N12, Ga12N12) and doped fullerenes (C23B, CB11N12) are considered as nanocarriers. Some combined configurations between the drug molecules and the carrier nanostructures have been then studied. The optical absorption properties of the above mentioned drug molecules and their carrier nanostructures in the free and bound states are obtained by a TD-DFT method, in gas phase and in aqueous solution. We perform a detailed analysis of the modifications arising in the absorption spectra that take place in some linked configurations between the drug molecules and the carrier nanostructures. These changes could be of importance as an optical fingerprint of the realized drug/carrier link.

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.

Unraveling the electronic influence and nature of covalent bonding of aryl and alkyl radicals on the B 12N 12 nanocage cluster. Sci Rep 2023; 13:752.

Abstract
Carbon nanocage structures such as fullerene, nanotubes, nanocapsules, nanopolyhedra, cones, cubes, and onions have been reported since the discovery of C60, and they offer tremendous promise for investigating materials of low dimensions in an isolated environment. Boron Nitride (BN) nanomaterials such a: nanotubes, nanocapsules, nanoparticles, and clusters have been described in several studies and are predicted to be useful as electronic devices, high heat-resistance semiconductors, nanocables, insulator lubricants, and gas storage materials. The interaction, and electronic of octahedral B12N12 nanocage cluster covalently modified from the attachment of alkyl and aryl radicals were analyzed using Density Functional Theory calculations. The work discusses for the first time to our knowledge the complete investigation of the impact of the grafted aryl and alkyl groups on the electronic, bang gap, and density of states on the B12N12. Furthermore, this is the first complete description of these radicals attaching to a surface of B12N12 nanocage cluster.

Abstract
This theoretical study focuses on the adsorption, reactivity, topological analysis, and sensing behavior of metal-doped (K, Na, and Mg) aluminum nitride (Al12N12) nanoclusters using the first-principle density functional theory (DFT). All quantum chemical reactivity, natural bond orbital (NBO), free energies (ΔG, ΔH), and sensor parameters were investigated using the ωB97XD functional with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The trapping of carboplatin (cbp) onto the surfaces of doped Al12N12 was studied using four functionals PBE0-D3, M062X-D3, ωB97XD, and B3LYP-D3 at the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Overall, the substantial change in the energy gap of the surfaces after the adsorption process affects the work function, field emission, and the electrical conductivity of the doped clusters, hence making the studied surfaces a better sensor material for detecting carboplatin. Higher free energies of solvation were obtained in polar solvents compared to nonpolar solvents. Moreover, negative solvation energies and adsorption energies were obtained, which therefore shows that the engineered surfaces are highly efficient in trapping carboplatin. The relatively strong adsorption energies show that the mechanism of adsorption is by chemisorption, and K- and Na-doped metal clusters acted as better sensors for carboplatin. Also, the topological analysis in comparison to previous studies shows that the nanoclusters exhibited very high stability with regard to their relevant binding energies and hydrogen bond interactions.

Abstract
Based on density functional theory, the adsorption behavior of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) on B40 and its derivatives has been explored. It was observed that 5-Fu prefers to combine with the corner boron atom of the B40 cage via one of its oxygen atoms, forming a strong polar covalent B-O bond. The adsorption energy of 5-Fu on B40 was calculated to be -11.15 kcal mol-1, and thus, it can be duly released from B40 by protonation in the slightly acidic environment of tumor tissue, which makes for reducing the toxic and side effects of this drug. Additionally, the substituent and embedding effect of Mg, Al, Si, Mn, Cu, and Zn atoms on the drug delivery performance of B40 have been also considered. We hope this work could offer some implications for the potential application of boron-based nanomaterials, such as B40 in drug delivery.
