On the behavior of quercetin + organic solvent solutions and their role for C60 fullerene solubilization

The nature of flavonoids in polar organic solvents solutions is studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations considering quercetin as an archetypical flavonoid and acetone, dimethylformamide dimethyl sulfoxide representatives with different polarity. solvation, intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) interactions the are analyzed. Likewise, role on changing solvent properties possibility acting a solubility enhancer for fullerenes (C60) by C60 fullerene plus solutions. reported results provide information considered complex liquid mixtures analyze natural, non-toxic, modifiers traditional to improve solutes such nanoparticles.
