Computational assessments of sensing functions of an oxygen-decorated silicon carbide nanocage for the adsorption of mesalazine drug
COMPUTATIONAL AND THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY(2023)
Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) based computational assessments were done on sensing functions of an oxygendecorated silicon carbide (O-SiC) nanocage particle for the adsorption of mesalazine (MLZ) drug. By the importance of MLZ for medication of inflammation diseases, this work was done to make a possible drug enhancement in the presence of the O-SiC nanocage particle. Interactions of MLZ and O-SiC yielded three complexes; C1, C2, and C3, with a significant role of the carboxyl group of MLZ for making the strongest complex (C2). All complexes were reasonable in strengths by their interaction energies -17.85, -9.47, and -9.21 kcal/ mol for C2, C1, and C3, respectively. Additionally, the molecular orbital electronic features showed variations of the models leading to a distinguishable conductance rate to yield sensing functions. As a consequence, the interacting MLZ@O-SiC models were assessed to approach a successful sensing function for employing in the further drug development processes.
