ABSTRACT

Pyrimethamine is an effective drug in the cancer cell treatment and is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor. In this work, the amount of drug loading up on CNT and its cytotoxicity effect upon MCF-7 cell lines was surveyed. The novel applications of some drugs and nanocarriers can induce the differentiation of adipose mesenchymal cells into nerve cells. Hence carbon nanotube-pyrimethamine was used to differentiate mesenchymal stem cells into the neural category, for the first time. The results of NSE and NFM gene expression level were evaluated using the real-time PCR. A detailed study on the interaction between pyrimethamine anticancer drug and (6, 0) zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube was performed by DFT/B3LYP and DFT/M06-2X with 6-31G* basis set calculations in gas phase and in solvent using the PCM. Different configurations of the adsorbed pyrimethamine onto the CNT surface were studied. Based on the results, the process of pyrimethamine adsorption on diff ;erent sites on the outer wall of the nanotube was exothermic and configurations were stable. The adsorption energy values indicated that the pyrimethamine molecule could be physically adsorbed on the external surface of the SWCNT. The QTAIM was used for characterizing the nature of the interactions between the pyrimethamine and the selected nanocarrier.
