Abstract
Theoretical study on physicochemical and geometrical properties of Doxorubicin and Daunorubicin conjugated to PEO-b-PCL nanoparticles
S. Bagheri, S. M. Hassani and Gh. Naderi
Daunorubicin (or daunomycin) and Doxorubicin (or adriamycin or 14-hydroxydaunomycin) are well-known anticancer agents used in cancer chemotherapy. They are anthracycline antibiotics and are commonly used in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. Doxorubicin and Daunorubicin were chemically conjugated to PEO-b-PCL (poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(-caprolactone)) nanoparticles. In this research, the molecular structure, Binding Energy(BE), Dipole Moment (DM), Gibbs free energy of solvation (ΔG (solvation)) and some physicochemical properties of the Doxorubicin- PEO-b-PCL and Daunorubicin- PEO-b-PCL were investigated. Our results indicate that these complexes mentioned above can be used to improve the anti-cancer activity.
