Computational Design of Engineered Nanoparticles for ROS-Mediated Photoregenerative Nanotherapy in Chronic Inflammation

Poster

Abstract

When designing treatments using photodynamic therapy for cell regeneration, it's crucial to grasp the physicochemical and pharmacological properties of the drugs used. Computational quantum chemistry is a significant part of this process because it helps us figure out how well the nanoscaled drugs absorb light, stay stable, and produce reactive oxygen species. A bandgap tells what kind of light a nanoparticle can take in. Near-infrared light can turn on drugs with lower bandgaps, which allows them to travel deeper into tissues. Electron transfer is another crucial feature because it reveals how easily electrons may move from the nanoparticle's surface to oxygen molecules. This is an important step in producing singlet oxygen and superoxide. We can build better photodynamic treatment agents, such as metal-organic frameworks, metal oxides, and other nanomaterials, by applying the properties of these nanoparticles. These findings can be applied to regenerative cell therapies in dental, oriental medicine, and other general medicinal areas that are effective and have fewer side effects. In this paper, we figure out how computational quantum chemistry and computerized medicine provide us the information we need by building the photodynamic therapy molecules that are effective and tailored. We check dipole moment since it is a significant property that has an impact on how well excitons break apart. A larger dipole moment makes it easier to break up pairs of electrons to produce reactive oxygen species and holes that form when light is absorbed. We also check optimization energy of the nanoparticles.The agents that have less energy are more stable in the body. Scientists can use these computer models to figure out which nanoparticles will work for photodynamic treatment before they manufacture them by looking at these descriptors.
