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.

J Mol Graph Model 2023; 124:108551. [PMID: 37399776 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108551] [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: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
In view of the numerous environmental hazards and health challenges linked to sulfur (iv) oxide (SO2), an indirect greenhouse gas, and the resultant need to develop efficient gas nanosensor devices, this research had as its principal focus on the theoretical evaluation of the gas sensing potential of metals: Ag, Au and Cu functionalized silicon-doped quantum dots (Si@QD) for the detection and adsorption of SO2 gas investigated using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) computation at the B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-SVP level of theory. Eight (8) possible adsorption modes: SO2_O_Si@QD, SO2_O_Ag_Si@QD, SO2_O_Au_Si@QD, SO2_O_Cu_Si@QD, SO2_S_Si@QD, SO2_S_Ag_Si@QD, SO2_S_Au_Si@QD, and SO2_S_Cu_Si@QD were considered based on SO2 interactions with the studied materials at the -S and -O sites of the SO2 molecule. The counterpoise correction (BSSE) showed that five of the eight interactions had favorable Ead + BSSE values ranging from -0.31 to -1.98 eV. All the eight interactions were observed to be thermodynamically favorable with ΔG and ΔH ranging from -129.01 to -200.24 kcal/mol and -158.26 to -229.73 kcal/mol respectively. Results from the topology analysis reveal that van der Waals forces occurred the greatest at the gas-sensor interphase while SO2_S_ Cu_Si@QD is predicted to have the highest sensing potency based on the conductivity and recovery time estimations. These results confirm the potential efficient feasibility of real-world device application of the metals (Ag, Au, Cu) functionalized Si-doped QDs.
