“…In addition, MD simulations can be applied to investigate the behavior of complex materials in molecular scale in various branches of sciences especially nanotechnology and biology [24]. Attempts have been made to study drug delivery systems by using MD simulations: Subashini et al [27] investigated the interaction between drugs (doxorubicin, silymarin, and gliclazide) and six polymers (chitosan, alginic acid, sodium alginate, Gantrez AN119, Eudragit L100, and Eudragit RSPO) and they determined the best polymer for each drug by comparing the results obtained for the interaction energy and the percentage encapsulation efficiency. Macháčková et al [29] studied six biodegradable polymers (chitosan, L-polylactide, D-polylactide, polyglycolic acid, polyethylene glycol, and cellulose) as carriers for cyclosporine A and they found a relationship between mixing energy, chain length, and chain flexibility of the studied polymer/drug delivery systems.…”
