Bin Jumah MN, Al Othman SI, Alomari AA, Allam AA, Bellucci S, Abukhadra MR. Insight into the integration effect of chitosan and β-cyclodextrin on the properties of zinc-phosphate/hydroxyapatite hybrid as delivery structures for 5-fluorouracil: loading and release profiles. Front Chem 2024; 12:1456057. [PMID: 39324064 PMCID: PMC11422123 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1456057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Zinc-phosphate/hydroxyapatite hybrid form (ZP/HP) in core-shell nanostructure was developed and functionalized with both chitosan (CS@ZP/HP) and β-cyclodextrin (CD@ZP/HP) as bio-composite of enhanced physicochemical and biological properties. These structures were assessed as potential deliveries of 5-fluorouracil, exhibiting enhanced loading, release, and anti-cancer behaviors. The functionalization strongly prompted the loading effectiveness to be 301.3 mg/g (CS@ZP/HP) and 342.8 mg/g (CD@ZP/HP) instead of 238.9 mg/g for ZP/HP. The loading activities were assessed based on the hypotheses of traditional kinetic and isotherm models, alongside the computational variables of the monolayer model with a single energetic site as an advanced isotherm model. The functionalized versions exhibit much greater loading efficacy compared to ZP/HP as a result of the increment in the density of the existing loading sites [Nm(5-Fu) = 78.85 mg/g (ZP/HP), 93.87 mg/g (CS@ZP/HP), and 117.8 mg/g (CD@ZP/HP)]. Furthermore, the loading energies of approximately 40 kJ/mol, together with the loading potential of each receptor (n > 1) and Gaussian energies of approximately 8 kJ/mol, indicate the physical entrapment of 5-Fu molecules according to a vertical orientation. The materials mentioned verify long-term and continuous release characteristics. Following the modification processes, this behavior became faster as both CS@ZP/HP and CD@ZP/HP displayed complete release within 120 h at pH 1.2. The kinetic studies and diffusing exponent (>0.45) indicate that release characteristics are controlled by both diffusion and erosion processes. These carriers also markedly increase the cytotoxicity of 5-Fu against HCT-116 colorectal cancer cell lines: 5-Fu-ZP/HP (3.2% cell viability), 5-Fu-CS@ZP/HP (1.12% cell viability), and 5-Fu-CD@ZP/HP (0.63% cell viability).

Abstract
The development of novel nanosheet-based drug delivery systems requires a systematic understanding of the interactions between the drug and the nanosheet carrier under various physiological environments. In this work, we investigated electronic and quantum molecular descriptors of a SiC monolayer adsorbed with the anticancer drugs nitrosourea (NU) and carmustine (BCNU) using density functional theory (DFT). Our calculations revealed negative adsorption energies for both drugs, indicating a spontaneous and energetically favorable adsorption process. Density of states and orbital population analysis studies revealed that both drugs are capable of significantly (>30%) narrowing the gap between HOMO and LUMO, depending on the configuration of the adsorption complex. Furthermore, the electronic and quantum molecular descriptors were investigated in gas and water mediums to explore the effect of the solvent on the adsorption process. Our calculations predict a higher narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO gap in the water phase compared to the gas phase. Besides, a modest reduction in global hardness and a marked increase in the global electrophilicity index were observed after the adsorption of the drug molecules by the SiC nanosheet, indicating its high reactivity towards both NU and BCNU. Changing the medium to water showed a maximum 2× increase in the global electrophilicity index of the nanosheet for NU and a maximum 7× increase for BCNU. Additionally, the thermodynamic study of the adsorption process indicates that the formation energies at high temperatures are smaller than those at low temperatures, unfolding the potential of SiC nanosheet for application in the phototherapy of these drugs.

Abstract
Based on the DFT in a Wb97xd/6-311+G* level of theory, the interaction of thymine derivatives with Be12O12 and Ca12O12 nanocages was investigated. It was found that adsorption energies of thymine molecules on the Be12/Ca12-O12 surface was around -43.16, -60.06 and -29.62, -50.71, -45.95, -30.27 kcal/mol, for thymine (TH1), 1-amino thymine (TH2) and thymine glycol (TH3), respectively and this result supported the drug's adsorption. Additionally, according to the FMOs and MEP studies, a charge transfer from TH's to nanocages. Additionally, both molecular orbitals demonstrate that the LUMO and HOMO are primarily found on the BeO's surface.

Computational Insight of Phase Transformation and Drug Release Behaviour of Doxycycline-Loaded Ibuprofen-Based In-Situ Forming Gel. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2315. [PMID: 37765285 PMCID: PMC10537905 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This research investigates the gel formation behaviour and drug-controlling performance of doxycycline-loaded ibuprofen-based in-situ forming gels (DH-loaded IBU-based ISGs) for potential applications in periodontal treatment. The investigation begins by exploring the physical properties and gel formation behaviour of the ISGs, with a particular focus on determining their sustained release capabilities. To gain a deeper understanding of the molecular interactions and dynamics within the ISGs, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations are employed. The effects of adding IBU and DH on reducing surface tension and water tolerance properties, thus affecting molecular properties. The phase transformation phenomenon is observed around the interface, where droplets of ISGs move out to the water phase, leading to the precipitation of IBU around the interface. The optimization of drug release profiles ensures sustained local drug release over seven days, with a burst release observed on the first day. Interestingly, different organic solvents show varying abilities to control DH release, with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) demonstrating superior control compared to N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). MD simulations using AMBER20 software provide valuable insights into the movement of individual molecules, as evidenced by root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values. The addition of IBU to the system results in the retardation of IBU molecule movement, particularly evident in the DMSO series, with the diffusion constant value of DH reducing from 1.2452 to 0.3372 and in the NMP series from 0.3703 to 0.2245 after adding IBU. The RMSD values indicate a reduction in molecule fluctuation of DH, especially in the DMSO system, where it decreases from over 140 to 40 Å. Moreover, their radius of gyration is influenced by IBU, with the DMSO system showing lower values, suggesting an increase in molecular compactness. Notably, the DH-IBU configuration exhibits stable pairing through H-bonding, with a higher amount of H-bonding observed in the DMSO system, which is correlated with the drug retardation efficacy. These significant findings pave the way for the development of phase transformation mechanistic studies and offer new avenues for future design and optimization formulation in the ISG drug delivery systems field.

Abstract
In this industrial era, the use of low-dimensional nanomaterials as gas sensors for environmental monitoring has received enormous interest. To develop an effective sensing method for ethylene oxide (EO), DFT computations are conducted using method ωB97X-D and B3LYP with 6-31G(d,p) basis set to evaluate the adsorption behavior of ethylene oxide gas on the surfaces of pristine, as well as Scandium and Titanium decorated B12N12, Al12N12, and Al12P12 nanocages. Several properties like structural, physical, and electronic are studied methodically to better understand the sensing behavior. Scandium-decorated aluminum phosphate and boron nitride nanocages were shown to perform better in terms of adsorption properties. The short recovery time observed in this study is beneficial for the repetitive use of the gas sensor. The Natural Bond Orbital and molecular electrostatic potential analysis demonstrated a substantial quantity of charge transfer from adsorbate to adsorbents. The bandgap alternation after adsorption shows an influence of adsorption on electronic properties. The interactions of adsorbate and adsorbents are further studied using the ultraviolet-visible predicted spectrum, and quantum theory of atoms in molecules all of which yielded promising findings.

Abstract
Natural bentonite clay (BE) underwent modification steps that involved the exfoliation of its layers into separated nanosheets (EXBE) and further functionalization of these sheets with methanol, forming methoxy-exfoliated bentonite (Mth/EXBE). The synthetically modified products were investigated as enhanced carriers of 5-fluorouracil as compared to raw bentonite. The modification process strongly induced loading properties that increased to 214.4 mg/g (EXBE) and 282.6 mg/g (Mth/EXBE) instead of 124.9 mg/g for bentonite. The loading behaviors were illustrated based on the kinetic (pseudo-first-order model), classic isotherm (Langmuir model), and advanced isotherm modeling (monolayer model of one energy). The Mth/EBE carrier displays significantly higher loading site density (95.9 mg/g) as compared to EXBE (66.2 mg/g) and BE (44.9 mg/g). The loading numbers of 5-Fu in each site of BE, EXBE, and Mth/EXBE (>1) reflect the vertical orientation of these loaded ions involving multi-molecular processes. The loading processes that occurred appeared to be controlled by complex physical and weak chemical mechanisms, considering both Gaussian energy (<8 KJ/mol) as well as loading energy (<40 KJ/mol). The releasing patterns of EXBE and Mth/EXBE exhibit prolonged and continuous properties up to 100 h, with Mth/EXBE displaying much faster behaviors. Based on the release kinetic modeling, the release reactions exhibit non-Fickian transport release properties, validating cooperative diffusion and erosion release mechanisms. The cytotoxicity of 5-Fu is also significantly enhanced by these carriers: 5-Fu/BE (8.6% cell viability), 5-Fu/EXBE (2.21% cell viability), and 5-Fu/Mth/EXBE (0.73% cell viability).

Insights into the Effect of Chitosan and β-Cyclodextrin Hybridization of Zeolite-A on Its Physicochemical and Cytotoxic Properties as a Bio-Carrier for 5-Fluorouracil: Equilibrium and Release Kinetics Studies. Molecules 2023; 28:5427.

Abstract
Synthetic zeolite-A (ZA) was hybridized with two different biopolymers (chitosan and β-cyclodextrin) producing biocompatible chitosan/zeolite-A (CS/ZA) and β-cyclodextrin/zeolite-A (CD/ZA) biocomposites. The synthetic composites were assessed as bio-carriers of the 5-fluorouracil drug (5-Fu) with enhanced properties, highlighting the impact of the polymer type. The hybridization by the two biopolymers resulted in notable increases in the 5-Fu loading capacities, to 218.2 mg/g (CS/ZA) and 291.3 mg/g (CD/ZA), as compared to ZA (134.2 mg/g). The loading behaviors using ZA as well as CS/ZA and CD/ZA were illustrated based on the classic kinetics properties of pseudo-first-order kinetics (R2 > 0.95) and the traditional Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.99). CD/ZA shows a significantly higher active site density (102.7 mg/g) in comparison to CS/ZA (64 mg/g) and ZA (35.8 mg/g). The number of loaded 5-Fu per site of ZA, CS/ZA, and CD/ZA (>1) validates the vertical ordering of the loaded drug ions by multi-molecular processes. These processes are mainly physical mechanisms based on the determined Gaussian energy (<8 kJ/mol) and loading energy (<40 kJ/mol). Both the CS/ZA and CD/ZA 5-Fu release activities display continuous and controlled profiles up to 80 h, with CD/ZA exhibiting much faster release. According to the release kinetics studies, the release processes contain non-Fickian transport release properties, suggesting cooperative diffusion and erosion release mechanisms. The cytotoxicity of 5-Fu is also significantly enhanced by these carriers: 5-Fu/ZA (11.72% cell viability), 5-Fu/CS/ZA (5.43% cell viability), and 5-Fu/CD/ZA (1.83% cell viability).

Abstract
Favipiravir (FAV) (6-fluoro-3-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrazine-2-carboxamide) is one of the most effective antiviral drugs which is cited for action against RNA-viral infections of COVID-19. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate three nanotubes (NTs) with FAV drug as delivery systems. The encapsulated systems (ESs) consist of FAV drug inside carbon-carbon, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride. At B3LYP-D/6-31G(d,p) and CPCM/B3LYP-D/6-31G(d,p), the optimization of NTs, FAV, and its tautomeric forms and six ESs was investigated in gas and water environments. Five tautomeric forms of FAV were investigated, two keto forms (K1 and K2) and three enol forms (E1, E2, and E3). The results revealed that E3 and K2 isomeric forms represented the most stable structures in both media; thus, these two forms were encapsulated into the NTs. The stability and the synthesis feasibility of NTs have been proven by calculating their interaction energies. Non-covalent interactions (NCIs) were investigated in the ESs to show the type of NCI with the molecular voids. The binding energies, thermochemical parameters, and recovery times were investigated to understand the mechanism of FAV encapsulation and release. The encapsulated AlNNT systems are more favorable than those of BNNTs and CNTs in gas and aqueous environments with much higher binding energies. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and recovery time analysis revealed the easier releasing of E3 from AlNNT over K2 form. Based on molecular docking simulations, we found that E3 and K2 FAV forms showed a high level of resistance to SARS-CoV-6M3M/6LU7/6W9C proteases.

Abstract
Finding and developing effective targeted drug delivery systems has emerged as an attractive approach for treating a wide range of diseases. In the present study, the potential of alkaline earth metal functionalized porphyrin-like porous C24N24 fullerenes for delivering 5-fluorouracil (5FU) anticancer drug is assessed using density functional theory calculations. The goal is to evaluate how the addition of alkaline earth metals to C24N24 enhances the adsorption capabilities of this system towards 5FU drug. The adsorption energies and charge transfers are determined in order to evaluate the strength of the interaction between the 5FU and fullerene surfaces. According to the results, adding alkaline earth metals increases the drug's adsorption energy on the C24N24 fullerene. In all cases, the drug molecule interacts with the metal atom through its CO group. Furthermore, the adsorption strength of the 5FU increases with metal atom size (Ca > Mg > Be), which is connected to the polarizability of these atoms. The adsorption energies of 5FU are shown to be highly sensitive on solvent effects and the acidity of the environment. The adsorption strength of 5FU decreases within the solvent (water), allowing it to be released more easily. The moderate adsorption energies and short desorption times of 5FU imply that it is reversibly adsorbed on the functionalized fullerenes.

Abstract
The utilization of nanostructured materials for several biomedical applications has tremendously increased over the last few decades owing to their nanosizes, porosity, large surface area, sensitivity, and efficiency as drug delivery systems. Thus, the incorporation of functionalized and pristine nanostructures for cancer therapy offers substantial prospects to curb the persistent problems of ineffective drug administration and delivery to target sites. The potential of pristine (Ca12O12) and formyl (-CHO)- and amino (-NH2)-functionalized (Ca12O12-CHO and Ca12O12-NH2) derivatives as efficient nanocarriers for 5-fluorouracil (5FU) was studied at the B3LYP-GD3(BJ)/6-311++G(d,p) theoretical level in two electronic media (gas and solvent). To effectively account for all adsorption interactions of the drug on the investigated surfaces, electronic studies as well as topological analysis based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interactions were exhaustively utilized. Interestingly, the obtained results divulged that the 5FU drug interacted favorably with both Ca12O12 and its functionalized derivatives. The adsorption energies of pristine and functionalized nanostructures were calculated to be -133.4, -96.9, and -175.6 kcal/mol, respectively, for Ca12O12, Ca12O12-CHO, and Ca12O12-NH2. Also, both topological analysis and NBO stabilization analysis revealed the presence of interactions among O3-H32, O27-C24, O10-C27, and N24-H32 atoms of the drug and the surface. However, 5FU@Ca12O12-CHO molecules portrayed the least adsorption energy due to considerable destabilization of the molecular complex as revealed by the computed deformation energy. Therefore, 5FU@Ca12O12 and 5FU@Ca12O12-NH2 acted as better nanovehicles for 5FU.

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.

Abstract
Mixed superalkali clusters are a source of excess electrons, as their vertical ionization energies (2.81-3.36 eV) are much lower than those of alkali metals (even cesium (∼3.85 eV)) and the superalkali Li3O (3.42 eV). In the present work, the geometric, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of mixed superalkali cluster-doped B12N12 nanocages are studied theoretically. All complexes, A-G, have very high interaction energies (-98.02 to -123.13 kcal mol-1) and are thermodynamically stable when compared to previously reported Li3O@B12N12 (-92.71 kcal mol-1). The designed complexes have smaller HOMO-LUMO energy gaps (3.36-4.27 eV) than pristine B12N12 (11.13 eV). Charge transfer in the complexes is studied through natural population analysis and non-bonding interactions are evaluated through quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and non-covalent interaction analyses. These complexes have absorption maxima (1076-1486 nm) in the near-infrared region (NIR) and they are transparent in the UV region. The first hyperpolarizability of complex C is 1.7 × 107 au, which is much higher than the value of 3.7 × 104 au for a pure Li3O superalkali-doped B12N12 complex calculated at the same level of theory, as reported by Sun et al. (Dalton Trans., 2016, 45, 7500-7509). The large second hyperpolarizability values also reflect the enhanced nonlinear optical response. The best computed values for the electro-optical Pockels effect, second harmonic generation, and hyper-Rayleigh scattering are 3.29 × 1010 au, 1.17 × 1010 au, and 6.71 × 106 au, respectively. Furthermore, the electro-optic dc-Kerr effect and electric-field-induced second harmonic generation have maximum values of 3.96 × 1011 au and 3.46 × 1010 au at 1064 nm. There are enhancements in the quadratic nonlinear refractive index (n2) values for complexes A-G, with a highest n2 value of 3.35 × 10-8 cm2 W-1 at 1064 nm. These results suggest that mixed-superalkali-doped B12N12 nanoclusters are potential candidates when designing high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Herein, natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) was functionalized by Na+ ions (G.Na+/Clino) utilizing a green tea extract prepared by a green production method as a potential carrier for the 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) drug with enhanced physicochemical behaviors. The G.Na+/Clino-modified product showed enhanced surface area (312 m2/g) and ion-exchange capacity (387 mequiv/100 g). The loading studies reflect high and controlled loading properties of G.Na+/Clino with an actual loading capacity of 291 and 462 mg/g, respectively. The loading reactions of 5-Fu into G.Na+/Clino were of pseudo-second-order kinetics and exhibited Langmuir isotherm properties. This suggested a monolayer and homogeneous loading process by chemical complexation and ion-exchange mechanisms with a Gaussian energy value of 10.47 kJ/mol. Additionally, these reactions were of endothermic and spontaneous nature based on the determined thermodynamic parameters. The release studies demonstrated the 5-Fu release profile for about 150 h at pH 1.2 and for 80 h at pH 7.4. The release reactions had non-Fickian transport properties and were controlled by both erosion and diffusion mechanisms, considering the release kinetic findings and the values of the diffusion exponent (0.42 at pH 1.2 and 0.37 at pH 7.4). The composite showed remarkable biocompatibility based on the measured cell viability and a cytotoxic effect on normal colorectal cells (CCD-18Co). Additionally, the application of G.Na+/Clino as an inorganic carrier for the 5-Fu drug prompted the cytotoxic effect of the drug on colon cancer cell treatment (HCT-116).

Abstract
The development of effective drug delivery vehicles is essential for the targeted administration and/or controlled release of drugs. Using first-principles calculations, the potential of alkali metal (AM = Li, Na, and K) decorated C60 fullerenes for delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) is explored. The adsorption energies of the 5FU on a single AM atom decorated C60 are -19.33, -16.58, and -14.07 kcal mol-1 for AM = Li, Na, and K, respectively. The results, on the other hand, show that up to 12 Li and 6 Na or K atoms can be anchored on the exterior surface of the C60 fullerene simultaneously, each of which can interact with a 5FU molecule. Because of the moderate adsorption energies and charge-transfer values, the 5FU can be simply separated from the fullerene at ambient temperature. Furthermore, the results show that the 5FU may be easily protonated in the target cancerous tissues, which facilitates the release of the drug from the fullerene. The inclusion of solvent effects tends to decrease the 5FU adsorption energies in all 5FU-fullerene complexes. This is the first report on the high capability of AM decorated fullerenes for delivery of multiple 5FU molecules utilizing a C60 host molecule.

Abstract
Clinoptilolite as a natural zeolite was integrated with green CaO nanoparticles forming the green nanocomposite CaO(NP)/Clino. The CaO(NP)/Clino composite was assessed as a potential carrier for 5-fluorouracil (5-FL) drug. The CaO(NP)/Clino carrier achieved an enhanced 5-FL loading capacity of 305.3 mg/g as compared to 163 mg/g for pure clinoptilolite. The kinetics of the 5-FL loading follow the properties of the pseudo-first-order model, while the equilibrium results are related to the Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, the 5-FL loading processes occurred in the monolayer formed by homogeneous active loading receptors on the surface of the CaO(NP)/Clino carrier. The Gaussian energy of the 5-FL loading reaction (9.2 KJ/mol) reflected the dominant effect for the chemical mechanisms, especially the zeolitic ion-exchange mechanisms. Additionally, the thermodynamic parameters suggested endothermic, feasible, and spontaneous properties for the occurred 5-FL loading reactions. The release profile of 5-FL from CaO(NP)/Clino has continuous and long properties (150 h) at pH 1.2 (gastric fluid) and pH 7.4 (intestinal fluid). The kinetic studies of the release reactions show considerable agreement with Higuchi, Hixson-Crowell, and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. Such high fitting results and the diffusion exponent values (0.49 at pH 1.2 and 0.48 at pH 7.4) reflected the release properties of the Fickian transport behavior involving complex erosion and diffusion mechanisms. The cytotoxicity study of CaO(NP)/Clino on colorectal normal cells (CCD-18Co) declare the safe and biocompatible effect as a carrier for the 5-FL drug. Additionally, CaO(NP)/Clino as a carrier causes considerable enhancement for the cytotoxic effect of the loaded 5-FL drug on colon cancer cells (HCT-116).

Abstract
To minimize the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment, it is necessary to find a suitable drug delivery carrier for anticancer drugs. Recently nanomaterials are extensively being studied as drug vehicles and transport drugs in tumor cells. Using DFT calculations, the adsorption behavior with electronic sensitivity and reactivity of pristine and doped (Al, Ga and In)-BNNS towards the nitrosourea (NU) drug has been investigated in gas as well as water media. Our calculations showed that the NU drug is physically adsorbed on the pristine BNNS with −0.49 and −0.26 eV by transferring little amount of charge of about 0.033e and 0.046e in gas and water media in the most stable complex. But after replacing one of the central B atoms with an Al or Ga or In atom, the sensitivity of the doped BNNS remarkably enhances towards the NU drug molecules. The NU drug prefers to be chemically adsorbed on the BN(Al)NS, BN(Ga)NS and BN(In)NS by −1.28, −1.58 and −3.06 eV in the gas phase and −1.34, −1.23 and −3.65 eV in water media in the most stable complexes respectively. The large destabilization of LUMO energies after the adsorption of the NU drug on the BN(Al)NS, BN(Ga)NS and BN(In)NS significantly reduces their Eg from 4.37 to 0.69, 4.37 to 1.04 and 4.33 to 0.66 eV in the S1 complex respectively. The reduction of Eg of doped BNNS by the NU drug greatly enhances the electrical conductivity which can be converted to an electrical signal. Therefore, this doped BNNS can be used as a fascinating electronic sensor for the detection of NU drug molecules. Furthermore the work function of the doped BNNS was largely affected by the NU drug adsorption about 47.3%, 39.3% and 40.4% in the gas phase and 41.3%, 36.6% and 31.6% in water media in the S1 complex of NU/BN(Al)NS, NU/BN(Ga)NS and NU/BN(In)NS respectively. Thus, the doped BNNS may be used as a Ф type sensor for NU drug molecules. Doped (Al, Ga and In)-BNNS can be used as fascinating drug carriers for the NU drug.![]()

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.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is increasing as a significant cause of mortality among women. In this context, early diagnosis and treatment strategies for BC are being developed by researchers at the cellular level using advanced nanomaterials. However, immaculate etiquette is the prerequisite for their implementation in clinical practice. Considering the stolid nature of cancer, combining diagnosis and therapy (theranostics) using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) is a prime focus and challenge for researchers. In a nutshell, GQDs is a new shining star among various fluorescent materials, which has acclaimed fame in a short duration in materials science and the biomedical field as well. From this perspective, we review various strategies in BC treatment using GQDs alone or in combination. In addition, the photophysical properties of GQDs explored in photothermal therapy, hyperthermia therapy, and photodynamic therapy are also discussed. Moreover, we also focus on the strategic use of GQDs both as drug carriers and as combinatorial-guided drug delivery motifs. This Review provides an update for the scientific community to plan and expand advanced theranostic horizons in BC using GQDs.

Abstract
Kaolinite layers were exfoliated as single sheets and admixed with cellulose fibers, forming an advanced exfoliated kaolinite/cellulose fiber (EXK/CF) composite, which was characterized as a promising carrier for the oxaliplatin (OL) drug to induce safety as well as the therapeutic effect. The EXK/CF composite exhibited promising loading capacity and achieved an experimental value of 670 mg/g and an expected theoretical value of 704.4 mg/g. The loading behavior of OL using the EXK/CF composite followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir equilibrium model, achieving an adsorption energy of 7.7 kJ/mol. This suggested physisorption and homogeneous loading behavior of the OL molecules in a monolayer form. The release profile of OL from EXK/CF continued for about 100 h with maximum release percentages of 86.4 and 95.2% in the phosphate and acetate buffers, respectively. The determined diffusion exponent from the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model suggested non-Fickian transport behavior of the OL molecules and releasing behavior controlled by erosion as well as diffusion mechanisms. Regarding the cytotoxic effect, the EXK/CF composite has a high safety impact on the normal colorectal cells (CCD-18Co) and higher toxic impacts on the colorectal cancer cell (HCT116) than the free oxaliplatin drug.

Abstract
Development in two-dimensional (2D) drug-delivery materials have quickly translated into biological and pharmacological fields. In this present work, pristine graphene (PG) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheets are explored as a drug carrier for cytarabine (CYT) and clofarabine (CLF) anti-cancer drugs using density functional theory (DFT). The obtained geometrical, energetic and electronic properties revealed that the PG sheet is more reactive and it adsorbs CYT and CLF anti-cancer drugs better than the h-BN sheet. The adsorption energies of CYT and CLF on PG sheet is -24.293 and -23.308 kcal/mol respectively, this is due to the delocalized electrons present in the PG sheet. The flow of electron direction between anti-cancer drugs and 2D sheet are calculated by ΔN, ΔEA(B), and ΔEB(A) parameters and Natural bond orbital analysis (NBO). The electronic and optical properties are calculated to understand the chemical reactivity and stability of the complex systems. The obtained results exhibit that the PG sheet retains significant therapeutic potential as a drug delivery vehicle for a drug molecule to treat cancer therapy.

Abstract
We studied the potential application of the pristine and Al-doped graphyne-like BN nanosheets (Al-BN-yne) in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) drug detection using DFT calculations. The 5-FU drug preferentially adsorbed via its oxygen atom on the B atom of pristine BN-yne with adsorption energy of - 11.7 kcal/mol and no effect on its electronic properties. Replacing a B atom by an Al atom significantly increased the sensitivity and reactivity of BN-yne to the 5-FU drug. Upon the 5-FU interaction with the Al-BN-yne, an energy of 20.3 kcal/mol is released, and the Eg of Al-BN-yne significantly decreased from 4.83 to 3.80 eV, increasing the electrical conductance. Thus, the Al-BN-yne sheet can generate an electronic signal after the 5-FU drug adsorption, being a promising electronic sensor for 5-FU detection. We predicted that the recovery time for 5-FU drug desorption from the Al-BN-yne sheet surface is 0.07 s, demonstrating that it benefits from a short recovery time.

Abstract
The effect of the integration between MCM-48 and some biopolymers (starch, chitosan, and β-cyclodextrin) on enhancing the pharmaceutical properties of MCM-48 as advanced carriers for the 5-fluorouracil drug was studied considering the loading capacities and the release profiles. The prepared carriers are MCM-48/chitosan (MCM/CH), MCM-48/starch composite (MCM/ST), and MCM-48/β-Cyclodextrin (MCM/CD). They emphasized excellent 5-Fu loading capacities of 141.2 mg/g (MCM-48), 156.6 mg/g (MCM/ST), 191 mg/g (MCM/CH), and 170 mg/g (MCM/CD), reflecting significant enhancement in the loading capacities. The kinetic and equilibrium investigation suggested physisorption loading of 5-Fu drug in a monolayer form for MCM-48, MCM/ST, and MCM/CH (Langmuir) and in a multilayer form for MCM/CD (Freundlich). This was supported by the estimated adsorption energies (0.23 kJ/mol (MCM-48), 0.26 kJ/mol (MCM/ST), 0.3 kJ/mol (MCM/CH), and 0.75 kJ/mol (MCM/CD)) and the thermodynamic parameters of free energy and enthalpy. The obtained release profiles for 80 h reflected significant controlling for the releasing behavior of MCM/48 on integrating its structure by adjusting the type of the selected polymer and its ratio. The pharmacokinetic modeling and the diffusion exponent from the Korsmeyer-Peppas model suggested non-Fickian transport behavior (a combination of erosion and diffusion releasing mechanism) for MCM/ST, MCM/CH, and MCM/CD and Fickian diffusion behavior (diffusion releasing mechanism) for MCM-48.

Abstract
Biocompatible nanocomposite films based on chitosan (CS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers containing cephalexin (CFX) antibiotic drug and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles (NPs) were designed and fabricated to develop wound dressing materials capable of controlled drug release. Swelling experiment was performed in three acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions. The tensile strength test reflected that upon increasing the NPs loading within the films, the tensile strength was enhanced but the elongation at break was diminished. The release of the CFX was intensively increased within approximately 3, 8, and 10 h (burst release) in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media, respectively while after that the CFX was smoothly released over time (sustained release). The antibacterial activities of all films were examined against Gram-positive (S. aureus, B. cereus) and Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter) bacteria frequently found in the infected wounds. Moreover, the MTT assay revealed that all films had high cell viabilities towards the L929 fibroblast cells confirming these nanocomposites could be used as favorable wound dressing materials. Finally, the film containing 4% ZIF-8 NPs (film 5) was chosen as the best sample due to it revealed appropriate mechanical properties, swelling, drug release and cell viability among all samples examined.
