The density functional theory calculations with hybrid B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis sets have been used to examine the structural and electronic properties of boron nitride (BN) diamantane interacted with the drug hydroxyurea (HU) as an anticancer drug. The findings have been shown that there is a decrease in the total energy after combining the drug with diamantane. The energy levels of HOMO and LUMO analyses indicate that the value of HOMO energy increased slightly, while the value of LUMO energy decreased significantly in these systems in the HU/BN diamantane. In addition, the decreasing of the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO confirms a strong bond between the drug hydroxyurea and BN diamantane. Finally, the drug's stability and reactivity with BN diamantane were investigated by measuring chemical reaction characteristics such as chemical potential, electron affinity, global hardness, and electrophilicity index. As a result, the nanocrystal of BN diamantane can be considered a vector for the delivery of anticancer drugs within biological systems.
采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的杂化 B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)基组计算研究了与抗癌药物羟基脲(HU)相互作用的氮化硼(BN)金刚烷的结构和电子性质。结果表明,药物与金刚烷结合后,总能量降低。HOMO 和 LUMO 能级分析表明,在 HU/BN 金刚烷体系中,HOMO 能量值略有增加,而 LUMO 能量值显著降低。此外,HOMO 和 LUMO 之间能隙的减小证实了药物羟基脲与 BN 金刚烷之间的强键合。最后,通过测量化学势、电子亲合势、全局硬度和电负性指数等化学反应特性,研究了药物与 BN 金刚烷的稳定性和反应性。结果表明,BN 金刚烷纳米晶体可以作为抗癌药物在生物系统中输送的载体。
