Structural Properties of Bioactive Molecule Naphthalene 2-Sulfonic Acid

International audienceNaphthalene 2-sulfonic acid (NSA) and its derivatives are the most important class of organic compounds and are important products of industrial chemical processes.. Bioactive molecule NSA was performed by means of Density Functional Theoretical (DFT) method using standard B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis set implemented with Gaussian'09 software package. NBO analysis were performed to provide valuable information about various intermolecular interactions. Optical properties of the NSA molecule were studied using UV-Vis spectral analysis. In addition, Molecular docking was performed for the different receptors for calculating binding affinities and predicting binding sites

Bioactive Small Molecule, Piperazinium Bis(4-Hydroxybenzenesulphonate) upon Spectral Investigation, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, Molecular Docking and ADMET Prediction: A Complement DFT Calculations

Piperazinium bis (4-hydroxybenzenesulphonate) (P4HBS) was studied using FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV spectra, and quantum chemical calculations. To obtain the geometry of the molecule, computational methods were used with the Gaussian’09w package and B3LYP/cc-pVTZ as the basis set. The stretching wave number of hydrogen bond donor NH2+ and hydrogen bond acceptor SO3− is red shifted due to protonation, according to vibrational analysis. Frontier molecular orbital analysis was used to confirm the molecule’s molecular reactivity and kinetic stability. The electronic transition observed in the UV-visible spectrum, which was measured experimentally, was identified using TD-DFT. MEP plot, Fukui function. Natural population analysis confirm that OH groups and SO3 groups are electrophilic attack sites, while hydrogen atoms in the Piperazinium ring are nucleophilic attack sites. The Independent Gradient Model (IGM) and Hirshfeld surface analysis were used to determine the weak van der Waals and strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, respectively. The antifungal activity against the fungus Candida albicans and Aspergillus flaves was determined by the disk diffusion technique. Through binding energy, molecular docking studies were performed to identify the effective lead compound against the C. albicans fungal pathogen. ADMET properties with improved pharmacokinetic properties were predicted.</p
