A novel hybrid density functional theory, MPWB1K, was firstly employed to investigate static adsorptions of a nifedipine on a (10,10) type of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), which was modeled by C(200)H(40) and C(280) respectively. For both SWCNT models the internal adsorption is more stable than the external adsorption in a range of 5.3-7.8 kcal/mol, which indicates that a nifedipine has a preference to internally adsorb on the (10,10) SWCNT. Molecular dynamic simulations were then used to predict the dynamic behaviors of a nifedipine and the (10, 10) SWCNT system in both gas phase and aqueous solution. The classical MD simulations show that for both cases a nifedipine could spontaneously encapsulate into the SWCNT and migrate in a surprising oscillation behavior inside the SWCNT, however, both phenomena are significantly delayed in the presence of water molecules. The present study suggests that the nanotube network may be used as an efficient tool for transporting this kind of calcium channel antagonists.
一种新型的杂化密度泛函理论MPWB1K首次被用于研究硝苯地平在(10,10)型单壁碳纳米管(SWCNT)上的静态吸附,该碳纳米管用C(200)H(40)和C(280)分别进行建模。对于这两种SWCNT模型,在5.3 - 7.8千卡/摩尔的范围内,内部吸附比外部吸附更稳定,这表明硝苯地平倾向于在(10,10) SWCNT上进行内部吸附。随后,分子动力学模拟被用于预测硝苯地平与(10,10) SWCNT体系在气相和水溶液中的动态行为。经典分子动力学模拟表明,在这两种情况下,硝苯地平都能自发地包裹进SWCNT并在管内以惊人的振荡行为迁移,然而,在有水分子存在的情况下,这两种现象都显著延迟。本研究表明,纳米管网络可作为运输这类钙通道拮抗剂的有效工具。
