Anti-cancer chlorambucil drug delivery by Pt, au, and Ir-decorated ZnO nanotubes
The pristine ZnO nanotube (ZnONT) and the X (X = Pt, Au, and Ir)-decorated ZnONT (X@ZnONT) forms were studied as drug delivery systems (DDSs) for the anti-cancer chlorambucil (ChB) drug using DFT computations. The pure ZnONT was not ideal for the drug delivery with the adhesion energy (AE) from −5.9 to −6.8 kcal/mol. The AE increased to −29.7, −27.1, and −30.8 kcal/mol after decorating the Pt, Au, and Ir onto the ZnONT, respectively. The presence of X atoms had a significant influence on creating the virtual orbitals in X@ZnONT. Consequently, it increases the adhesion capacity which makes the nanotube more favorable for drug delivery purposes. A drug release mechanism was proposed in low-pH cancerous tissues. In this mechanism, ChB becomes significantly protonated, causing it to separate from the surface. The reaction type of ChB with ZnONT changes from a covalent bond to a hydrogen bond in the acidic cancerous cells.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
