Introducing a New Type of Drug Delivery System Based on the Silicon Carbide Monolayer

First-principles study of a SiC nanosheet as an effective material for nitrosourea and carmustine anti-cancer drug delivery

“… 23 SiC nanosheet offers structural stability, high solubility, biocompatibility, and other excellent properties such as blood compatibility, low density, and high rigidity, which makes it a highly attractive candidate for targeted drug delivery. Other than chlormethine; 24 however, not much attention has been paid to SiC nanosheet as an effective carrier for drug delivery. Therefore, the main objective of the present work is to investigate the ability of SiC nanosheets to adsorb the two common anti-cancer drugs, nitrosourea and carmustine.…”
