Abstract
Diet habits and nutrition quality significantly impact health and disease. Here is delve into the intricate relationship between diet habits, nutrition quality, and their direct impact on health and homeostasis. Focusing on (-)-Epicatechin, a natural flavanol found in various foods like green tea and cocoa, known for its positive effects on cardiovascular health and diabetes prevention. The investigation encompasses the absorption, metabolism, and distribution of (-)-Epicatechin in the human body, revealing a diverse array of metabolites in the circulatory system. Notably, (-)-Epicatechin demonstrates an ability to activate nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) through the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER). While the precise role of GPER and its interaction with classical estrogen receptors (ERs) remains under scrutiny, the study employs computational methods, including density functional theory, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations, to assess the physicochemical properties and binding affinities of key (-)-Epicatechin metabolites with GPER. DFT analysis revealed distinct physicochemical properties among metabolites, influencing their reactivity and stability. Rigid and flexible molecular docking demonstrated varying binding affinities, with some metabolites surpassing (-)-Epicatechin. Molecular dynamics simulations highlighted potential binding pose variations, while MMGBSA analysis provided insights into the energetics of GPER-metabolite interactions. The outcomes elucidate distinct interactions, providing insights into potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of (-)-Epicatechin across varied biological contexts.

Abstract
Globally, cancer is the most common cause of mortality among all deadly diseases. As a result, a nanotechnology-based drug delivery system is used to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment, which provides an improved therapeutic index and delivers multiple drugs directly to the tumor site. In the present work, DFT calculations were employed to investigate the surface adsorption of a hydroxyurea (HU) anticancer drug on pristine graphene (GP), boron nitride (B24N24), and doped GP by replacing some of its carbon atoms with boron (B) and nitrogen (N) atoms to form C30B9N9, C16B16N16, and C6B21N21 nanosheets. In gas media, HU is adsorbed on these C30B9N9, C16B16N16, C6B21N21, and B24N24 nanosheets with adsorption energies of -0.70, -3.03, -2.47, and -1.96 eV, respectively. Alternatively, in water solvent media, the adsorption energies of C30B9N9, C16B16N16, C6B21N21, and B24N24 are -0.82, -0.29, -0.15, and -0.26 eV, respectively. The energy gaps of the nanosheets were found to be 0.288, 0.174, 0.14, and 4.562 eV before adsorption, respectively. After the adsorption of HU on the proposed nanosheets, the energy gap was reduced to 0.15 eV for C16B16N16. According to the DOS spectra, noticeable peaks appeared in the Fermi level after the adsorption of HU on the nanosheets, which indicates the reduction of the energy gap. Quantum molecular analysis predicted that the chemical potential, electrophilicity index, and nucleophilicity index of C16B16N16 increased, whereas global hardness decreased, indicating high reactivity. Therefore, it can be concluded that among the proposed nanosheets, C16B16N16 would be an appropriate carrier for the HU drug.

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
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
Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new member of the family of carbon-based nanomaterials with hybridized carbon atoms of sp and sp2, including α, β, γ, and (6,6,12)-GDY, which differ in their percentage of acetylene bonds. The unique structure of GDY provides many attractive features, such as uniformly distributed pores, highly π-conjugated structure, high thermal stability, low toxicity, biodegradability, large specific surface area, tunable electrical conductivity, and remarkable thermal conductivity. Therefore, GDY is widely used in energy storage, catalysis, and energy fields, in addition to biomedical fields, such as biosensing, cancer therapy, drug delivery, radiation protection, and tissue engineering. In this review, we first discuss the synthesis of GDY with different shapes, including nanotubes, nanowires, nanowalls, and nanosheets. Second, we present the research progress in the biomedical field in recent years, along with the biodegradability and biocompatibility of GDY based on the existing literature. Subsequently, we present recent research results on the use of nanomaterials in peripheral nerve regeneration (PNR). Based on the wide application of nanomaterials in PNR and the remarkable properties of GDY, we predict the prospects and current challenges of GDY-based materials for PNR.

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
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.![]()

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
In this study we consider relatively new bond-additive Mostar indices that appear to provide quantitative measures of peripheral shapes of molecules. We have computed weighted Mostar, edge-Mostar and total-Mostar indices of graphene, [Formula: see text]-types of graphyne and graphdiyne, which are of considerable interest owing to their novel properties and thus find applications in a number of areas such as sensors, catalysis, chemisorption and nanomedicine. We have implemented the results to analyse the weighted Mostar indices and have obtained exact analytical expressions for the title molecules. We propose that Mostar indices together with frontier molecular orbitals, and HOMO-LUMO gaps can provide measures of chemical reactivity and analysis of peripheral molecular shapes.

Abstract
Using first-principles calculations, electronic characteristics and geometrical stability of pure and Sn substituted armchair β - antimonene nanotube (SbNT) is explored. The adsorption behavior of phosgene (COCl2) on SbNT is studied using ab initio method. Also, the effect of base material sensitivity with the influence of substitution of Sn dopant is studied. The SbNT energy band structure gets altered upon exposure to the COCl2 gas molecules. The density-of-states (DOS) spectrum gives the precision on the transfer of charge during the interaction of COCl2 gas on SbNT material. Moreover, the phosgene molecules interaction on SbNT results in the variation of adsorption energy around -0.578 to -1.364 eV. Further, the average band gap changes are detected in the range of 1.75-19.3% for pristine SbNT, and 192.31-369.23% for Sn substituted SbNT material. The findings suggest that the physisorption of phosgene gas on Sn substituted SbNT is found to be more significant when compared to pristine SbNT. The current work shows that Sn substituted SbNT as a good base material to probe phosgene gas molecules.
