Abstract
This study explores the potential of boronate ester-based COF-1 as a biosensor for anticancer and anti-inflammatory drugs, specifically curcumin and crizotinib, using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Interaction energies, NCI, QTAIM, EDA, and FMO analyses indicate that van der Waals forces mainly govern adsorption. Crizotinib exhibits stronger binding, greater charge transfer, reduced HOMO-LUMO gap, and higher dipole moment, enhancing sensor selectivity and conductivity. Recovery time analysis suggests faster desorption of crizotinib, supporting its suitability for real-time sensing. Overall, COF-1 shows promise as an effective sensor, especially for crizotinib, with applications in drug monitoring and biomedical diagnostics.
