Computational investigation of Belzutifan drug delivery mechanisms using SiC nanocrystals via combined DFT and molecular dynamics approaches

Abstract This study employs density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate silicon carbide (SiC) nanocrystals as carriers for the anticancer drug Belzutifan. Among tested functional groups (-H, -OH, -NH₂, -COOH), carboxyl-functionalized SiC (SiC-COOH) exhibits...
