Theoretical study on physicochemical and geometrical properties of Doxorubicin and its different carriers such as PEG-FOL and PEO-b-PCL

Abstract

The physicochemical properties of Doxorubicin - PEO-b-PCL (Doxorubicin conjugated to poly(ethylene oxide)-block-Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)) and Doxorubicin–PEG–FOL( Doxorubicin conjugated to polyethylene glycol–folate) have been estimated using Density functional Theory (DFT) and Hartree Fock(HF) calculations.In this report some geometrical parameters of DOX-PEO-b-PCL complex of the conjugated complex and DOX–PEG–FOL complex of the conjugated complex were investigated using computational methods and physicochemical properties such as Gibbs free energy of solvation (G solvation),binding energy, partition coefficient, and Dipole Moment (DM) of complexes were investigated . Our results indicate that water-solubility of Doxorubicin–PEG-FOL is higher than that of Doxorubicin .
