Zusammenfassung:The electronic sensitivity and reactivity of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) and polyester dendrimers toward favipiravir (T705) were inspected using density functional theory method. The T705 drug is adsorbed on the surface of PAMAM and polyester dendrimers with the binding energy of -27.26 and -26.80 kcal mol −1 , respectively, in the solvent phase. The energy gap of PAMAM and polyester dendrimers reduced by about 32% and 27%, indicating that the electrical conductance of carriers become 8.16 × 10 23 and 4.41 × 10 22 times higher, upon T705 adsorption. The work function (Φ) value of PAMAM and polyester is changed about 1.53 and 0.71 eV, respectively. Thus, PAMAM dendrimer is about 2.5 times stronger Φ-type sensor than polyester dendrimer. The recovery time for T705 desorption from the PAMAM and polyester surface is predicted to be 9.2 × 10 3 and 4.2 × 10 3  s, respectively, at physiological environment.
