Diffusivity of α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin and the inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin: Ibuprofen in aqueous solutions; A molecular dynamics simulation study

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are widely used in drug delivery, catalysis, food and separation processes. In this work, a comprehensive simulation study on the diffusion of the native α-, β- and γ-CDs in aqueous solutions is carried out using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The effect of the system size on the computed self-diffusivity is investigated...

Computing solubility parameters of deep eutectic solvents from Molecular Dynamics simulations

The solubility parameter (SP) of a solvent is a key property that measures the polarity and quantifies the ‘like-dissolves-like’ principle, which is an important rule in chemistry for screening solvents for separation processes. It is challenging to experimentally obtain solubility parameters of non-volatile solvents like ionic liquids (ILs),...
