Synthesis, crystal structure, HF and DFT calculations of 1-(2-chlorobenzyl)-N-(1-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine

The titled compound (1), has been synthesized and characterized by IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H…π and aromatic π-π interactions. There are also intramolecular N-H…N and C-H…N hydrogen bonds in the molecule. The use of quantum chemical calculations to characterise and optimise the choice of material is illustrated by ab initio treatments. Vibrational frequencies and LUMO-HOMO energy difference of 1 have also been investigated by Density functional theory (DFT) and Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. Calculated frequencies are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data.

How to improve antifungal bioactivity: POM and DFT study of some chiral amides derivatives of diacetyl-L-tartaric acid and amines

A computational Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration and Density Functional Theory based model has been developed for the identification of physic–chemical parameters governing the bioactivity of chiral amides derivatives of diacetyl-L-tartaric acid and aromatic amines 4–9 containing combined antifungal pharmacophore sites. The six compounds 4–9 analyzed here were previously experimentally and now virtually screened for their antibacterial/antifungal activity. The highest antifungal activity was obtained for compound 6, which exhibited excellent % inhibition, comparable to Terbinafine. Compound 5, represents increased activity as compared to its isomer 6. The increase of bioactivity from 5 to 6 could be attributed to the existence of pi-charge transfer from para-Bromo-phenyl to its amid group (COδ−--NHδ+), which plays a crucial template role in the organization of antifungal O,O-phramacophore sites. Moreover, it is cheap, has fewer side effects, and its possible inclusions in selective fungal/viral media such as Fusarium, HIV, and Hepatitis B/C have to be questioned.

Theoretical calculations, cytotoxic evaluation, and molecular docking studies of 4-(1-adamantyl)-5-[2-(3-hydroxynapthyl)]-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione as a novel chemotherapeutic agent

In this work, we report combined experimental and theoretical studies on molecular structure, vibrational spectra, and NBO analysis of 4-(1-adamantyl)-5-[2-(3-hydroxynapthyl)]-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione. The density functional theoretical computations were performed at B3LYP/6-311G+(d,p) levels to derive the optimized geometry, vibrational wavenumbers with FT-IR intensity, HOMO–LUMO energies, and several thermodynamic properties in ground state. 1H-NMR chemical shifts were also studied using gauge-including atomic orbital approach, which were found in good agreement with the experimental values. The delocalization of electron density various constituents of the molecule has been discussed with the aid of natural bond orbital analysis and the calculated HOMO–LUMO energies show that the charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Finally, the title compound was also evaluated for its in vitro anticancer activity against MCF-7 cancer line and inhibition activity of new 1,2,4-triazole with the protein BRCA2, is simulated by using AutoDock Vina software. Docking of synthesized compound against BRCA2, forget enzyme for MCF-7 cancer cell agent was achieved to explore the interactions of discovered hits within the amino acid residues of enzyme binding pocket.

Antimicrobial/antioxidant activity and POM analyses of novel 7-o-β-d-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones

A series of 7-o-β-d-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 4 were synthesized and tested for in vitro antibacterial/antifungal and antioxidant activity. The synthesized compounds o-β-d-glucoside of 7-hydroxyl-3-imidazolyl-4H-chromen-4-ones showed good antibacterial/antifungal activity as well as antioxidant activity. The results suggest that aglycone as well as their o-glucosides could be promising candidates for new combined antifungal/antibacterial as well as antioxidant agents (3 in 1). Experimental data and Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration (POM) analyses, respectively, show high bioactivity against various microorganisms at a very low concentration without any side effect, suggesting that series 2–4 is a potential antimicrobial inhibitor and further it deserves to be validated for in vivo studies.Graphical Abstract7-Hydroxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones and their o-β-d-glucosides were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The compounds were also subjected to high-throughput POM bioinformatics to study the bioavailability.

Preparation and investigations of thermal properties of copper oxide, aluminium oxide and graphite based on new organic phase change material for thermal energy storage

The effects of copper oxide, aluminium oxide and graphite on the thermal and structural properties of the organic phase change material (PCM) were investigated. Ethyl 2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)acetate was selected as the pure PCM. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to determine the chemical structure, crystalloid phase, chemical composition and microstructure of the composites, respectively. The thermal properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyzer. The FT-IR analyses indicated that there was no chemical interaction between the pure PCM and the supporting materials such as copper oxide, aluminium oxide and graphite. The X-ray diffractograms of the samples were nearly the same, but the peak intensities changed according to the supporting materials. The SEM results showed that the C, N and O elements were well adsorbed into the porous network of the graphite, Al2O3 and CuO. According to the supporting materials, the graphite had the minimum porosity and the maximum crystallite size.

Synthesis and Antitumor, Antioxidant Effects Studies of N-Ethylpiperazine Substitute Thiourea Ligands and Their Copper(II) Complexes

ABSTRACT A series of N-ethylpiperazine substitute thioureas [C6N2H13NHCSNHR], where R = -C3H5 (L 1 ), -C10H7 (L 2 ), and -C7H7 (L 3 ), and their copper (II) complexes have been synthesized. These ligands and complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C-NMR spectra, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetrical analyses, and MALDI-TOF MS. In vitro antitumor activity of ligands and their complexes has been screened toward several tumor cell lines. The effects on these complexes of the growth of L1210 and MCF7 were studied comparatively with that of free ligands. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of synthesized compounds were determined by various in vitro assays including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radicals (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radicals (ABTS+), and ferrous ion (Fe2+) chelating activities. Moreover, these activities were compared to synthetic and standard antioxidant trolox. The results showed that the synthesized compounds had effective antioxidant power.
