Abstract
Monomethyl fumarate (MMF) is a harmful substance which could be toxic for healthy cells. Hence, it is a useful drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Considering these, its safe transportation to the targeted tissues (applying a suitable carrier) is needed. Thus, in this work, the possibility of using cavitand container-shaped capsule as well as a number of nanosheets (derived from B4C5N3 structure) for delivery and adsorption of MMF have been studied. The results have indicated that (except cavitand) the biggest values for Eads and for recovery time (τ) belong to MMF + AlB4C5N3 (− 18.04 eV, 17.68 s) and MMF + GaB4C5N3 (− 17.59 eV, 8.22 s), respectively. Therefore, in opposition to the other considered derivatives, both of those two nanosheets (AlB4C5N3 and GaB4C5N3) could be used as sorbents and also as carriers for delivery of the MMF drug. In addition, the results showed that the cavitand structure could be applied as a good capsule for trapping MMF, while it would not be able to sense the existence of this drug.
期刊介绍:
Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry.
We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
