Abstract
The computational analysis of drug release from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66, is the primary focus of this research. MOFs are recognized as nanocarriers due to their crystalline structure, porosity, and potential for added functionalities. The research examines the release patterns of three drugs: temozolomide, alendronate, and 5-fluorouracil, assessing various factors such as the drugs' distance from the UiO-66 centers, the interaction of drug functional groups with Zr metal ions, and the drug density throughout the nanocarrier. Findings reveal that 5-fluorouracil is located furthest from the UiO-66 center and exhibits the highest positive energy compared to the other drugs. Alendronate's density is observed to shift to the carrier surface, while 5-fluorouracil's density significantly decreases within the system. The drug density diminishes as the distance from the UiO-66 center of mass increases, suggesting a stronger positive interaction between the drugs and the nanocarrier. Moreover, Monte Carlo calculations were employed to load drugs onto the UiO-66 surface, leading to a substantial release of 5-fluorouracil from UiO-66. Quantum and Monte Carlo adsorption localization calculations were also conducted to gather data on the compounds' energy and geometry. This research underscores the potential of MOFs as nanocarriers for drug delivery and highlights the crucial role of temperature in regulating drug release from UiO-66. It provides insights into the complex dynamics of drug release and the factors influencing it, thereby emphasizing the promise of UiO-66 as a viable candidate for drug delivery. This work contributes to our understanding of UiO-66's role and sets the stage for improved performance optimization in the cancer treatment.

Fabrication of high specificity hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles assisted by Eudragit for targeted drug delivery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2014; 445:151-160. [PMID: 25617610 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2014.12.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2014] [Revised: 12/09/2014] [Accepted: 12/15/2014] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) are one of the most promising carriers for effective drug delivery due to their large surface area, high volume for drug loading and excellent biocompatibility. However, the non-ionic surfactant templated HMSNs often have a broad size distribution and a defective mesoporous structure because of the difficulties involved in controlling the formation and organization of micelles for the growth of silica framework. In this paper, a novel "Eudragit assisted" strategy has been developed to fabricate HMSNs by utilising the Eudragit nanoparticles as cores and to assist in the self-assembly of micelle organisation. Highly dispersed mesoporous silica spheres with intact hollow interiors and through pores on the shell were fabricated. The HMSNs have a high surface area (670 m(2)/g), small diameter (120 nm) and uniform pore size (2.5 nm) that facilitated the effective encapsulation of 5-fluorouracil within HMSNs, achieving a high loading capacity of 194.5 mg(5-FU)/g(HMSNs). The HMSNs were non-cytotoxic to colorectal cancer cells SW480 and can be bioconjugated with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) for efficient and specific cell internalization. The high specificity and excellent targeting performance of EGF grafted HMSNs have demonstrated that they can become potential intracellular drug delivery vehicles for colorectal cancers via EGF-EGFR interaction.

Abstract
Density functional theory has been used to model the reaction of OH with l-phenylalanine, as a free molecule and in the Gly-Phe-Gly peptide. The influence of the environment has been investigated using water and benzene as models for polar and non-polar surroundings, in addition to gas phase calculations. Different paths of reaction have been considered, involving H abstractions and addition reactions, with global contributions to the overall reaction around 10% and 90% respectively when Phe is in its free form. The ortho-adducts (o-tyrosine) were found to be the major products of the Phe+OH reaction, for all the modeled environments and especially in water solutions. The reactivity of phenylalanine towards OH radical attacks is predicted to be higher in its peptidic form, compared to the free molecule. The peptidic environment also changes the sites' reactivity, and for the Gly-Phe-Gly+OH reaction H abstraction becomes the major path of reaction. The good agreement found between the calculated and the available experimental data supports the methodology used in this work, as well as the data reported here for the first time.
