Adsorption of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as potential drugs for SARS-CoV-2 infection on BC<sub>3</sub> nanosheets: a DFT study
Rezvan Rahimi, Mohammad Solimannejad, Mohadeseh Farghadani
Abstract
The adsorption of HCQ on BC 3 nanosheets is stronger than that of CQ. The hydrogenated BC 3 nanosheet is a more prominent nanocarrier for the CQ and HCQ drugs than the bare BC 3 monolayer.
