Abstract

This is an analysis report on the use of density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the potentials of pristine and amino acid–functionalized C4B32 borospherenes in drug-carrying systems. The breakthrough discovery of borospherenes designed by doping four carbon atoms in the B36-4 cluster (C4B32) allowed for introducing the high potential of pristine and alanine-modified C4B32 clusters as efficient drug carriers. This paper principally intended to implement DFT to study the interaction between pristine and alanine-conjugated borospherenes with gabapentin (GB) drug. The predictions suggested that the amino acid modification both functioned as carriers for bio-drugs and enhanced drug adsorption onto the C4B32 cluster. The UV–Vis calculations showed that the electronic spectra of the drug@cluster systems tend to display a redshift toward a higher wavelength. The results indicated the high potential of the alanine-modified C4B32 borospherene in the delivery of medications.
