Abstrakt: Researchers from Islamic Azad University have conducted a study on the use of functionalized carbon nanotubes as a potential drug delivery system for the anti-cancer drug imatinib. The study found that carboxyl and hydroxyl functionalized carbon nanotubes showed promising interactions with imatinib in aqueous media. Monte Carlo simulation results indicated that electrostatic interactions played a vital role in the intermolecular interaction energies between the drug and nanotubes in aqueous solution. The researchers concluded that the use of functionalized carbon nanotubes could enhance the solubility and bioavailability of imatinib. [Extracted from the article]
