: Leflunomide (LFM) and its active metabolite, teriflunomide (TFM), have drawn a lot of attention for their anticancer activities, treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and malaria due to their capability to inhibit dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) enzyme. In this investigation, the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) in five analogs of TFM (ATFM) has been analyzed employing density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) level and molecular orbital analysis in the gas phase and water solution. A detailed electronic structure study has been performed using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and the hydrogen bond energies (EHB) of stable conformer obtained in the range of 76-97 kJ/mol, as a medium hydrogen bond. The effect of substitution on the IHB nature has been studied by natural bond orbital analysis (NBO). 1H NMR calculations show an upward trend in the proton chemical shift of the enolic proton in the chelated ring (14.5 to 15.7ppm) by increasing the IHB strength. All the calculations confirmed the strongest IHB in 5-F-ATFM and the weakest IHB in 2-F-ATFM. Molecular orbital analysis, including the HOMO-LUMO gap and chemical hardness, was performed to compare the reactivity of inhibitors. Finally, molecular docking analysis was carried out to identify the potency of inhibition of these compounds against PfDHODH enzyme.

ABSTRACTBuckmisterfullerene, C60, has attracted great interest because of its carbon-cage structure and potential applications in the field of superconductivity when doped with alkali metals. The icosahedral framework of C60 has been confirmed by X-ray analysis of an osmylated C60, called ‘Bunnyball’. Little theoretical work has been done to understand the electronic mechanism of C60 and substituted C60. This work has focused on electronic properties of C60 and the bunnyball with hypothetical analogs metal substitutions to understand the electronic effects of adducts on the bunnyball. In this analysis, the osmylated C60and hypothetical analogs were studied by extended Hückel methods. Molecular orbital(MO) interaction diagrams constructed from Density of States (DOS) analysis of the bunnyballs are presented. The results suggest electronic effects induced by substitution /adduct strongly affect electronic population in the C60 unit.
