The role of amino acid functionalization for improvement of adsorption Thioguanine anticancer drugs on the boron nitride nanotubes for drug delivery

Yasir A. Atia et al.

Summary: In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to evaluate a drug delivery system for cysteine amino acid functionalized carbon nitride nanotubes (f-C3NNTs) for Thioguanine (TG) anticancer drugs. The results showed that the adsorption of drugs on the nanostructure occurred spontaneously with the release of heat. Compared with unfunctionalized C3NNTs, f-C3NNTs had a shorter adsorption distance, higher adsorption capability, and higher solubility in the adsorption of TG. Based on quantum molecular descriptors, f-C3NNTs exhibited higher reactivity. Thermodynamically, the interactions between TG molecules and f-C3NNTs were exothermic and spontaneous. Therefore, f-C3NNTs can be considered a potential candidate for drug delivery in the adsorption of TG drugs.
