Theoretical studies on the transport mechanism of 5-fluorouracil through cyclic peptide based nanotubes.
Cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNTs) formed by the self-assembly of cyclic peptides (CPs) with an even number of alternate l/d amino acids are typically used in the field of the transport of ions and drug molecules across the lipid bilayer. This study investigates the transport mechanism of the antitumor drug molecule, 5-fluorouracil (5FU), through the CPNT using classical and steered molecular dyn...
متن کاملEffects of carbon nanotubes on properties of the fluorouracil anticancer drug: DFT studies of a CNT-fluorouracil compound
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...

متن کاملMolecular Insights on the Cyclic Peptide Nanotube-Mediated Transportation of Antitumor Drug 5-Fluorouracil
Self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs) show a potential use in drug delivery. In this study, the CPN composed of (Trp-D-Leu)(4)-Gln-D-Leu was synthesized and tested for the transport of the antitumor drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). CPN-mediated release of 5-FU from liposomes experimentally tested the transportation function of the synthetic CPNs. To explore the transportation mechanism of C...
