In this paper, the theoretical and stereochemical structures of targeted nanoparticles for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease was studied. Using quantum chemical calculations, it can be determined which compound can be used more efficiently to achieve thermodynamic stability. Based on the calculated optimized energy which is used to assess the stability of each molecule, it is possible to determine whether the targeted nanoparticle molecules can be formed in a stable manner.
Optimization configuration energies were collected in order to compare each chemical compound's safety and stability. Also, electro-potential maps were obtained in order to figure out each chemical compound's activities. Calculations show that some compounds easily converge to lowest value of energy they can have, which makes them suitable to use in biochemical compound or drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
This research examined the chemical and electric properties including potential energy and dipole moments of nanoparticles as contrast agents as well. Molecular editing chemical softwares were used to model and optimize the nanoscale molecular compounds.
