Background: Hyaluronicacid (HA)-conjugated nanocarriers leverage CD44 receptor overexpression on tumor cells for targeted delivery of platinum chemotherapeutics. Methods: This study compares non-functionalized (DDS1) versus HA-conjugated single-walled carbon nanotubes (DDS2) encapsulation stability and binding Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Lobaplatin. Density Functional Theory calculations employed PBE-GGA with Tkatchenko–Scheffler dispersion ZORA relativistic treatment, using a finite (8,8) armchair SWCNT (24.6 Å, H-capped) DDS1 an EDC/NHS-coupled HA oligomer DDS2. We computed energies, HOMO–LUMO gaps, Molecular Electrostatic Potentials, energy decompositions. docking to (PDB ID: 4PZ3) used Molegro Virtual Docker, validated by re-docking the native fragment (RMSD 1.79 Å). Results: DFT energies (eV) DDS2 were −7.92/−7.48 (Cisplatin), −8.93/−8.30 (Carboplatin), −9.72/−9.25 (Lobaplatin), indicating enhanced stabilization functionalization. Energy decomposition showed increases ∼0.4 eV (vdW) ∼0.2 (electrostatic) in MEP maps confirmed additional negative-potential regions DDS2, complementing drug-positive sites. yielded MolDock scores −171.26 −106.68 DDS1, reflecting stronger affinity. Docking indicate that conjugation notably strengthens predicted affinity CNT carriers toward (ΔScore ≈ −65 kcal mol−1). Conclusions: These results motivate experimental follow-up confirm whether can translate silico gains into improved

Tumors pose a serious threat to global public health and are usually treated from two aspects: tumor cells microenvironment. Compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs, Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers have advantages in treatment, such as multiple targets, levels synergistic intervention. However, most TCM active ingredients disadvantages poor water solubility stability, which restrict their clinical application. Nano drug delivery systems the functions of improving bioavailability anti-tumor ingredients, enhancing tissue targeting, achieving controlled release, inhibiting multidrug resistance. free monomers, they higher therapeutic effects fewer side effects. This article summarizes five commonly used monomer nanocarriers, including lipid nanomaterials, exosomes, polymer micelles, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, explains mechanisms after combining TCM, cell proliferation metastasis, regulating microenvironment, etc . At same time, potential nano combined radiotherapy immunotherapy is discussed, well current problems toxicity, long-term complex amplification process, future development directions, aiming provide reference for promoting application ingredients.
