Covalent Organic Framework (C6N6) as a Drug Delivery Platform for Fluorouracil to Treat Cancerous Cells: A DFT Study

Mohammed A. Alkhalifah et al.

Summary: In this study, we report the use of covalent triazine framework C6N6 as a drug delivery carrier for fluorouracil (FU) and nitrosourea (NU) anti-cancer drugs. The results show that the FU and NU drugs are physically adsorbed on C6N6 and stabilized through van der Waals interactions. There is an appreciable charge transfer from the drugs to the carrier, with a higher charge transfer observed for the FU@C6N6 complex compared to the NU@C6N6 complex. The adsorption of FU on C6N6 causes a more pronounced decrease in the HOMO-LUMO gap compared to that of NU. The study also reveals that the adsorption energy of the FU@C6N6 complex decreases the most in an acidic medium, indicating that FU can easily be released from the carrier to target cancerous cells with a low pH. These findings suggest that C6N6 has the potential to be used as a nanocarrier for FU in cancer treatment and motivate further exploration of new surfaces for drug delivery applications.
