Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is an obstacle to most anticancer treatments’ success. The drug’s efficiency in various kinds of cancer treatment decreases in the case of single drug usage. In this study, to overcome this issue, we determine the co-loading of anticancer drugs Doxorubicin and Imatinib by crude and functionalized carbon nanotubes coated with Chitosan and Polyethylene Glycol polymers in different states using molecular dynamics simulations. The effect of polymers and the number of polymer chains on their loading was also studied. The simulation results showed that increasing the number of polymer chains affects the loading of drugs. Also, the Chitosan polymer has a more significant effect on the loading process of these drugs compared to the polyethylene glycol polymer. The number of loaded molecules for each drug is investigated.
