Abstract
In this research, a DFT calculation was performed for study to investigate the encapsulation of the anticancer drug Ibrance into CNT(8,8-7) by using M062X/6-311G * level of theory in the solvent water. TD-DFT method was used to compute the electronic spectra of the Ibrance drug, CNT(8,8-7) and complex CNT(8,8-7)/Ibrance in aqueous medium for the study of non-bonded interaction effect. The non-bonded interaction effects of Ibrance drug with CNT(8,8-7) on the electronic properties and natural charges have been also studied. The results display the change in title parameters after process adsorption. According to NBO results, the molecule Ibrance and CNT(8,8-7) play as both electron donor and acceptor at the complex CNT(8,8-7)/Ibrance. Charge transfer, on the other hand, occurs between the bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding orbitals of Ibrance drug and CNT (8,8-7). According to QTAIM analysis and the LOL and ELF values, all intermolecular bonds in the complex are non-covalent in nature. As a result, CNT(8,8-7) can be thought of as a drug delivery system for transporting Ibrance as an anticancer drug within biological systems.
