Density Functional Theory and Raman Spectroscopy Studies of Adsorption Sites of Au Nanoparticles with Alectinib
LANGMUIR(2023)
Abstract
Alectinib is an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is mainly used in patients with crizotinib-resistant nonsmall cell lung cancer. Alectinib has attracted much clinical attention for its longest progression-free survival time and the best therapeutic effect. The chemical adsorption of Au nanoclusters (AuNPs) with alectinib molecules is studied by density functional theory (DFT) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) experiments. DFT/B3LYP-D3/6-311G** was used for optimization and vibration analysis of alectinib-Au6 complexes, as well as molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbital, and electro-optic-based charge transfer descriptors. Comparing the results of the DFT theory and SERS experiment, alectinib and AuNPs can form Au-N6 bonds primarily through chemical adsorption of N6 atoms, and the experimental results showed that the enhancement factor (EFCHEM) could reach 4.27. The results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of chemical enhancement between AuNPs and alectinib.
