Resumo

The adsorption of Fluorouracil on C82 and Si82 nanocages is investigated by theoretical methods. The main parameters of adsorption of C82, Si82, Ti-C82 and Ti-Si82 nanocages on Fluorouracil are calculated. The Si82 has higher ability to adsorb the Fluorouracil than C82. Energy of adoption (Eadoption), cohesive energy, HOMO-LUMO energy difference, Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and recovery time (τ) values of Fluorouracil-nanocage complexes are calculated. The τ index of Ti-C82-Fluorouracil and Ti-Si82-Fluorouracil are higher than C82-Fluorouracil and Si82-Fluorouracil. Ti adoption of Ti-C82 and Ti-Si82 can improve the adsorption of C82 and Si82 with Fluorouracil. Finally, the Ti-Si82 is acceptable nanocage to deliver and adsorb the Fluorouracil with high performance.
