Computational investigation of sulfasalazine adsorption on BN and CSi nanocages: Insights into drug-nanocarrier interactions in aqueous environment
Effective drug delivery is essential for optimizing cancer treatment, ensuring precise transport and controlled release of therapeutic agents to target tissues. In this study, the interaction of sulfasalazine with fullerene-like boron nitride (BN) and silicon carbide (CSi) nano-carriers as B30N30, B35N35, C30Si30, and C35Si35 cages was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the mPW1PW91/cc-PVDZ level. The structural geometry of drugs, nanocages, and their complexes, along with the adsorption energy, frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), chemical potential, hardness and softness, AIM topological parameters, non-covalent interactions (NCI), independent gradient model (IGM) and optical properties in the ultraviolet-visible and infrared regions were analyzed to assess their potential for targeted drug delivery. Based on the findings of this study, CSi-based nanocages, particularly C30Si30 (aq), emerge as promising candidates for sulfasalazine delivery. Its strong binding affinity enhances drug stability, while its structural and electronic properties facilitate controlled and efficient transport to the target tissue.
