Because bioactive ester derivatives are important pharmacophores, the current study focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of their pharmacological activity. In this case, novel 1,3-diethyl 2-(4-[3-ethoxy-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-oxo-2-phenylpropyl]-2,5-dimethylphenylmethyl)-2-phenylpropanedioate (C₃₆H₄₂O₈) was synthesized in good yield. Elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy are used to analyse the compound. The X-ray diffraction examination of a single crystal indicates that the molecular structure crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with half of the molecule being crystallographically unique (Z' = 0.5) with Z = 2. Surprisingly, the inversion centre is located at the centre of the methyl-substituted benzene ring, which generates the entire molecule via symmetry operation. Crystallographic and computational chemistry technologies are used to examine the nature and strength of intermolecular interactions amongst inversion-related dimers (Hirshfeld surface, energy framework, QTAIM and NCI analysis). Koopman's approximation was used to calculate the frontier molecular orbitals, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, and associated reactive parameters. Furthermore, molecular docking experiments demonstrated the compound with Antieczematic proteins as well as protein-ligand interactions, hydrogen bond interactions are delibrated.

Crystal structure and solid state computational (DFT/Hirshfeld surface) study for probing a new efficient and recyclable oxidation reagent, 1,2-ethandiylbis(triphenylphosphonium) peroxodisulfate dihydrate

A new, efficient and recyclable reagent, 1,2-Ethandiylbis(triphenylphosphonium) peroxodisulfate dihydrate, for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols has been synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Using the title compound, the results indicate that the oxidation reactions are rapid, take place under mild reaction conditions, easily to work-up and high yielding.

Spectral analysis (FT-IR,FT-Raman,UV and NMR), molecular docking,ADMET properties and computational studies: 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde

The hybrid correlation method was used to examine the spectra of 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (2H5NB) in the FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV–Vis and NMR ranges. For the best molecular shape, vibrational wavenumbers, infrared intensities, and Raman activity using density functional theory, B3LYP and the 6–311++G(d,p) basis set were used. The MOLVIB software was tasked with providing an in-depth interpretation of the vibrational spectra. Intermolecular charge transfer is a result of bonding orbitals participating as donors and acceptors in all phases of NBO analysis, which stabilizes molecules. High gastrointestinal absorption, but no brain-blood barrier penetration or cytochrome P450 inhibition, were observed despite the expected ADMET characteristics and expected gastrointestinal absorption (1A2, 2C19, 2C9, 2D6 and 3A4). Following CFN and EDE, the results of molecular docking showed that 2H5NB had the highest negative mean binding affinity of ?5.717 kcal/mol, followed by CFN and EDE. 2H5NB also had a more significant hydrogen bond with the amino acid residues of selected receptor proteins. As a result, the current compound may be described as a possible analeptic agent.

The crystal structure shows chemically significant non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated water and π–π interactions between phenanthrolinium and phen. The structures of both complexes have been optimized by DFT. Absorption and emission spectral studies and viscosity measurements indicate that both 1 and 2 interact with calf thymus DNA through partial intercalation of DNA bases. The intrinsic-binding constants, obtained from UV–vis spectroscopic studies, are 1.2?×?10⁴ and 7.2?×?10⁴?M^?1 for 1 and 2, respectively. Both 1 and 2 are capable of inducing cleavage of plasmid DNA in the presence of H₂O₂ to form the supercoiled form to nicked circular form. The spectroscopic results of DNA binding are supported by molecular docking studies.

Synthesis,spectroscopic studies,and single-crystal structures of two 3-D supramolecular zinc(II) and nickel(II) complexes containing thiazole ring: Antimicrobial assays,time-dependent density functional theory calculations,and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Two novel complexes [Zn( L )₂·(NO₃)₂] ( 1 ) and [Ni( L )₂·2H₂O]·2CH₃OH·(NO₃)₂ ( 2 ) ( L = 2-(2-thiazolyl)-4-methyl-1,2-dihydroquinazoline-N³-oxide) were synthesized successfully and characterized by elemental analysis, as well as various spectroscopic techniques. Specifically, the photoluminescence behavior of complex 1 was explored in different solvents. The structural characterization of both complexes has been determined single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It revealed that the metals in 1 and 2 are chelated by two L ligands in centro-symmetrically fashion and the complexes are counterbalanced by nitrate ions which act as coordinating species in 1 , while two water molecules complete the Ni coordination sphere in 2 . In the crystal structures, the adjacent molecules of complex 1 disclosed a ladder-like 2-D network and 3-D supramolecular self-assembly. Simultaneously, an infinite 1-D chain, 2-D layered skeleton, and even meter-shaped 3-D network of 2 was governed by molecular interactions (H–bonds, C–H⋯π). Most strikingly, the research of antibacterial activity proved that two complexes had good activity against two standard bacteria strains. To ascertain deeply the optimum geometric configurations and detect the frontier molecular orbital energy gaps, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also investigated. Additionally, analyses of Hirshfeld surfaces (HS) and electrostatic potential (ESP) were also performed to quantify the presence of diverse noncovalent interactions.     

Exploiting the versatility of pyridyl ligands for the preparation of diorganotin (IV) adducts: spectral,crystallographic and Hirshfeld surface analysis studies

Diorganotin (IV) complexes SnR₂X₂ (R = Me, Ph; X = Cl, NCS) form a series of versatile complexes when react with bidentate substituted pyridyl ligands. The reaction of dimethyltin dichloride with 5,5′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine (5,5′‐Me₂bpy) resulted in the formation of [SnMe₂Cl₂(5,5′‐Me₂bpy)] ( 1 ). Moreover, the reaction of SnMe₂(NSC)₂ with 4,4′‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine (bu₂bpy), 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) and 4,7‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (bphen) affords the hexa‐coordinated complexes [SnMe₂(NCS)₂(bu₂bpy)] ( 2 ), [SnMe₂(NCS)₂(phen)] ( 3 ) and [SnMe₂(NCS)₂(bphen)] ( 4 ), respectively. The resulting complexes have been characterized using elemental analysis, IR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and DEPT‐135^° NMR spectroscopy. On the other hand, the reaction of diphenyltin dichloride with 2,2′‐biquinoline (biq) and 4,7‐phenantroline (4,7‐phen) led to the formation of polymeric complexes of [SnPh₂Cl₂(4,7‐phen)]_n ( 5 ) and [SnPh₂Cl₂(biq)]_n ( 6 ). The NMR spectra, however, reveal the ligand lability in solution and suggest a coordination number of 5 . The X‐ray crystal structures of complexes [SnMe₂Cl₂(5,5′‐Me₂bpy)] ( 1 ), [SnMe₂(NCS)₂(bu₂bpy)] ( 2 ) and [SnMe₂(NCS)₂(bphen)] ( 4 ) have been determined which reveal that the geometry around the tin atom is distorted octahedral with trans‐[SnMe₂] configuration. Interestingly, the crystal structure of (H₂biq)₂[SnPh₂Cl₄]?2CHCl₃ ( 7 ) was characterized by X‐ray crystallography from a chloroform solution of [SnPh₂Cl₂(biq)]_n ( 6 ) indicating the formation of doubly protonated [H₂biq]⁺ and [Ph₂SnCl₄]^2? which are stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds with a feature of trans‐[SnPh₂]. The 3D Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint maps were used for quantitative mapping out of the intermolecular interactions for 1 , 2 , 4 and 7 which show the presence of π‐π and hydrogen bonding interactions which are associated between donor and acceptor atoms (N, S, Cl) in the solid state.

3D-QSAR,molecular docking and ADMET studies of thioquinazolinone derivatives against breast cancer

Breast cancer is a deadly disease and the second largest cause of mortality on a worldwide platform. Despite the availability of several cancer treatments, life expectancies stay relatively poor. Consequently, the medicinal chemistry community prioritizes the quick discovery of novel anticancer drugs. In recent years, computational approaches have been widely used to accelerate the drug development process. In light of this, in the current work, we performed three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) and molecular docking analyses on thioquinazolinone derivatives with aromatase enzyme (PDB: 3S7S). External validation was used to validate the prediction capabilities of the generated model. The best CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indices analysis) model exhibited the significant values of $Q^2$, $R^{2}and$ $R_{pred}^2$. These findings suggested that the electrostatic, hydrophobic and hydrogen bond donor and acceptor fields have a significant effect on inhibition of breast cancer. Thus, a number of innovative potent aromatase inhibitors were designed and their biological activities were predicted based on the best model. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were carried out for the designed compounds against breast cancer. Additionally, ADMET proprieties were used to evaluate drug-likeness of these novel drug candidates. The most active compounds found by these computational studies could be helpful for synthesis and testing as prospective future anti-cancer treatments.     

Synthesis,spectral analysis,antibacterial activity,quantum chemical studies and supporting molecular docking of Schiff base (E)-4-((4-bromobenzylidene) amino)benzenesulfonamide

A new Schiff base (E)-4-((4-bromobenzylidene) amino) benzenesulfonamide (M2) was synthesized by the reaction between 4-bromobenzaldehyde and sulfanilamide followed by characterization using IR, Raman, UV–Visible, ¹HNMR, and ¹³CNMR spectral techniques. This was followed by electronic structure studies using DFT and TD-DFT. We simulated the IR spectrum using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory, followed by a comparison with experimental spectra and detailed potential energy distribution and vibrational assignment analysis. The comparison of experimental UV and simulated UV spectrum using TD-DFT B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) in DMSO solvent atmosphere gave good agreement. As Schiff bases are biologically active, we checked for the potential activity of the synthesized compound with the help of ADMET prediction and found it to be active. Wavefunctions related properties like ELF, LOL, and ELF are also reported. Prediction of biological activity spectrum study indicated possible antibacterial activity against bacteria, which is supported by molecular docking against Staphylococcus aureus (3U2D) protein with a docking score of ?7.1 kcal/mol. Experimental antibacterial study using the compound and standard drugs confirmed this prediction.     

Mononuclear Co(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of tridentate di‐tert‐butylphenylhydrazone: Synthesis,characterization, X‐ray crystal structures,Hirshfeld surface analysis,molecular docking and in vivo anti‐inflammatory activity

A new hydrazone (LH₂) derived from the condensation of 2‐(4‐fluorobenzamido)benzohydrazide with 3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde was used to synthesize Co(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. These were characterized using various physicochemical, thermal, spectroscopic and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. All the complexes crystallize in a monoclinic crystal system with P2₁/n space group and Z = 4. Structural studies of [Co(L)(LH)]?H₂O indicate the presence of both amido and imidol tautomeric forms of the ligand, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry around the Co(III) ion. On the other hand, in the [Ni(L)(DMF)] and [Cu(L)(H₂O)] complexes, the ligand coordinates to the metal through imidol form resulting in distorted square planar geometry, in which the fourth position is occupied by the oxygen of coordinated DMF in [Ni(L)(DMF)] and by a water molecule in [Cu(L)(H₂O)]. Hirshfeld surface calculations were performed to explore hydrogen bonding and C―H???π interactions. Molecular docking studies were carried out to study the interaction between the synthesized compounds and proteins (cyclooxygenase‐2 and 5‐lipoxygenase). The complexes along with the parent ligand were screened for their in vivo anti‐inflammatory activity, using the carrageenan‐induced rat paw oedema method. The complexes show significant anti‐inflammatory potencies.     

A new six-coordinate organotin(IV) complex of OP[NC5H10]3: A comparison with an analogous five-coordinate complex by means of X-ray crystallography,Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations

A new six-coordinate organotin(IV)-phosphoric triamide complex of OP[NC₅H₁₀]₃ = OP was synthesized ([Cl₂Sn(CH₃)₂(OP)₂], 1) and characterized by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV–Vis, and ¹H/¹³C/³¹P-NMR). The crystal structures of 1 and the analogous previously reported five-coordinate complex [Cl₂Sn(CH₃)₂(OP)] (IZOVIE) were compared on a structural level and by computational means using Hirshfeld surface analysis, density functional theory calculations and the atom in molecule method. The investigation of intermolecular interactions in the crystal structures of the two complexes by the Hirshfeld surface method indicates that in the absence of normal hydrogen bonds, the chlorine-based interactions H?Cl/Cl?H (for 1 and IZOVIE) and Cl?Sn/Sn?Cl (for IZOVIE) play a determinant role in the molecular assemblies. However, the prominent contacts are of H?H type. From calculated electronic parameters such as bond order, Mulliken charge and electron delocalization energy, it was found that the Sn-OP contact has a lower strength in IZOVIE than in 1, suggesting more ionic character of the metal-oxygen contact in five-coordinate complex IZOVIE. Furthermore, we discuss the similarities and differences of the two complexes 1 and IZOVIE derived from the same ligand OP by density functional theory calculations to present an insight into the organotin(IV)-phosphoric triamide coordination chemistry affected by different geometries and coordination numbers.

The crystal structure was stabilized by an extensive network of NH … Cl, OH … Cl and NH … O hydrogen bonds. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveals that the title compound is stable until 101.6 °C.The optimized geometry parameters, normal mode frequencies, and corresponding vibrational assignments of the present compound were theoretically examined by DFT/B3LYP method with the Lanl2dz basis set. The FT-IR spectrum of the polycrystalline sample was examined and compared to the calculated spectrum. The calculated results showed that the optimized geometry could well reproduce the crystal structure and that the theoretical vibrational frequency values were in good agreement with their experimental counterparts.

The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system and P-1 space group with a = 11.6850(2) Å, b = 11.7531(5) Å, c = 14.5603(7) Å, α = 83.956(3)°, β = 70.481(4)°, γ = 61.863(2)°, V = 1658.70(12) Å³. The structure of the compound consists of four adeninium, (C₅H₅N₂)⁺, cations, and two dichromate dianions with all the atoms situated in general positions. Each dichromate anion is formed by two tetrahedral CrO₄ joined through shared O atoms and are linked to the cations with several weak hydrogen bonding interactions resulting in an extended network. 3-D Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2-D fingerprint plots indicate that the packing is dominated by H?O/O?H and H?N/N?H contacts.
