Abstract:

Background: The separation of drug enantiomers in the pharmaceutical industry is of great importance since most organic compounds are chiral. The main purpose of this study was to calculate the binding energy of ibuprofen isomers interacting with the CNT, according to various adsorption configurations. Moreover, we have evaluated the performance of (16.4) chiral carbon nanotube for separation of ibuprofen enantiomers. Also, the interaction between R- and S-isomers of ibuprofen with the outer surface and internal sidewall of chiral CNT was investigated. Materials and methods: The performance of (16.4) carbon nanotube has been evaluated for separation of ibuprofen enantiomers using molecular dynamics simulation. Quantum computations were also utilized, optimizing the molecular structure of the drug and the amount of charge of each atom in the ibuprofen enantiomers. Results: The energy difference between the left and right-handed enantiomers inside the (16.4) carbon nanotube was equal to 0.5 eV (11.5 kcal/mol), while the adsorbed enantiomers on the outer surface of nanotube did not differ in energy. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a sufficient difference between the adsorption energy of the enantiomers adsorbed inside the (16.4) chiral carbon nanotube; therefore we can anticipate this nanotube will work effectively in the process of separating drug enantiomers.

Review on carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube bundles for gas/ion separation and water purification studied by molecular dynamics simulation

Water and air pollutants have huge impacts on the entire living system. In addition, the newly emerging nanopollutants, increasing global warming, and consequent climate changes are posing major threats to the freshwater or fresh air availability. This has made it urgent to invent an appropriate water/air treatment technology that removes nanopollutants and also desalinates water to a significa...

Molecular dynamics simulation of polyethylene on single wall carbon nanotube.

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out on the isothermal crystallization process of single polyethylene chains with different chain lengths on the single wall carbon nanotube. This process is summarized as two steps, i.e., adsorption and orientation, and the bond-orientational order parameter is used to show the details of this process. The results show that the attractive van der Waals...
