Molecular engineering of the last-generation CNTs in smart cancer therapy by grafting PEG-PLGA-riboflavin.

ABSTRACT: In this work, the effect of environment and additives on the self-assembly and delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) have been studied. A microfluidic system with better control over molecular interactions and high surface to volume ratio has superior performance in comparison to the bulk system. Moreover, carbon nanotube (CNT) and CNT-doped structures have a high surface area to incorporate the DOX molecules into a polymer and the presence of functional groups can influence the polymer-drug interactions. In this work, the interactions of DOX with both the polymeric complex and the nanotube structure have been investigated. For quantification of the interactions, H-bonding, gyration radius, root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), Gibbs free energy, radial distribution function (RDF), energy, and Solven
