Thermodynamic Functions of Complexes between Nanotubes and Anti-Cancer Drug s: A Theo retical A pproach

Hydroxycarbamide or hydroxyurea is an antineoplastic drug and has been used primarily for the tr eatment of myeloprolif erative dise ases, which has an inh erent risk of transforming to acute myeloid leukemia. Ther e has been a longstandi ng concern that hydroxycarbamide itself carrie s a leukemia risk. But large studies have sho wn that the risk is eith er absent or very small. Neverthele ss, it has bee n a barrier f or its wide use in patien ts with sickle-cell disease. In this w ork the int eractions between hydroxycarbami de with a N anotube (۶,۶) containi ng ۶۰ carbo n atoms are investigated to show if nanotube is suitable for transporting this drug and it becom es clear w hich site of this drug is more suitable for formation of complex bet ween nanot ube and the drug.
