High Dielectric

It has been previously suggested that the high dielectric absorption of certain crystalline forms of long-chain alcohols is associated with hydrogen-bonding of the hydroxyl groups. This theory is supported by the results given in the present paper, which show that with other alcohols, in which the hydroxyl groups are sterically hindered, the loss is almost completely eliminated. The smallest losses are obtained with triphenylcarbinol and cholesterol which both possess hydroxyl groups embedded in a bulky molecular structure. For the former compound, infra-red data from the literature indicate the absence of any appreciable amount of hydrogen-bonding and are thus in agreement with the evidence from dielectric measurements. High frequency absorption observed in these compounds is considered to be associated with dipole orientation resulting from hindered rotation of the free hydroxyl groups. The effects of steric hindrance of the hydroxyl group are also observed in tert.-butanol.

Jahn Teller Distortion

Using semiempirical CNDO-UHF method the adiabatic potential surface of 2[Cu(OH)6]4- complexes is investigated. The values of vibration and vibronic constants for Eg - (a1g + eg) vibronic interaction attain extremal values for the optimal O-H distance. The Jahn-Teller distortion decreases with increasing O-H distance. The discrepancy between experimentally observed elongated bipyramid of [Cu(OH)6]4- in Ba2[Cu(OH)6] and the compressed one obtained by quantum-chemical calculation is explainable by hydrogen bonding of the axial hydroxyl group.

Catechol Moiety

Flavonoids are known for their antiradical capacity, and this ability is strongly structure-dependent. In this research, the activity of flavones and flavonols in a water solvent was studied with the density functional theory methods. These included examination of flavonoids’ molecular and radical structures with natural bonding orbitals analysis, spin density analysis and frontier molecular orbitals theory. Calculations of determinants were performed: specific, for the three possible mechanisms of action—hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), electron transfer–proton transfer (ETPT) and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET); and the unspecific—reorganization enthalpy (RE) and hydrogen abstraction enthalpy (HAE). Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, catechol moiety activity and the probability of electron density swap between rings were all established. Hydrogen bonding seems to be much more important than the conjugation effect, because some structures tends to form more intramolecular hydrogen bonds instead of being completely planar. The very first hydrogen abstraction mechanism in a water solvent is SPLET, and the most privileged abstraction site, indicated by HAE, can be associated with the C3 hydroxyl group of flavonols and C4’ hydroxyl group of flavones. For the catechol moiety, an intramolecular reorganization to an o-benzoquinone-like structure occurs, and the ETPT is favored as the second abstraction mechanism.

Azadirachtin A

Azadirachtin-H, isolated from the seed kernels of Azadirachta indica (neem), crystallizes in space group I4, Z = 8, with disordered ethyl acetate solvent filling channels along the fourfold rotation axes. The crystal structure determination showed that the previously reported molecular structure deduced from NMR studies was correct except for the stereochemistry at C(11). Azadirachtin-H, which belongs to a group of C-seco-tetranortriterpenoids (C-seco-limonoids) of great interest for their insect antifeedant and ecdysis-inhibiting activity, has some unusual features: the absence of a carbomethoxy group at C(11); the presence of a cyclic hemiacetal function at C(11); the α-orientation of the hydroxyl group on C(11), opposite to that in all other known azadirachtins with a hydroxyl group on C(11), except azadirachtin-I. There is no intramolecular hydrogen bonding. In this crystal the rotation of the two major moieties of the azadirachtin-H molecule about the single connecting C(8)—C(14) bond is quite different from that in azadirachtin-A, whose crystal structure has recently been determined.

The preparation and physical properties of 27 compounds in the title series are described. Tautomerism, syn-anti isomerism, N.M.R. parameters, and the mechanism of isomerization are discussed. In this series of derivatives, the tautomeric equilibrium in dioxan solutions lies heavily towards the oxime form unless intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the substituent at C2 (or C6) and the phenolic hydroxyl group of the nitroso form is possible. The substituents at C2 (and C6) influence the position of the syn-anti equilibrium in the quinone monoxime forms through electronic effects.

The Stability

The stability and lyophilization of core–shell PCL-PEG-PCL micelles were investigated by fluorescence spectra, DLS, DSC, WAXD, and FT-IR. The prepared micelles were not stable when they were stored in aqueous dispersion under different condition. Their size increased in the first 20 days and decreased gradually when the storage period was extended. Lyophilization experiment showed that the cryoprotective agent (glucose) was an essential additive to protect the micelles from aggregating during the lyophilization process. After lyophilizing and re-dispersion, the PCL-PEG-PCL micelles became larger in size compared to as-prepared ones. DSC, WAXD, and IR measurements indicated the hydrogen bonding was formed between the hydroxyl group in glucose and the carbonyl group in PCL-PEG-PCL micelles. The effect of added glucose on protection of micelles from aggregation can be explained by the formation of hydrogen bonding with PCL-PEG-PCL micelles and the formation of solid glucose matrix.

Drug Molecules

The flavonoids are a structurally diverse class of natural products that exhibit a broad spectrum of biochemical activities. The flavones are one of the most studied flavonoid subclasses due to their presence in dietary plants and their potential to protect human cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Several flavone compounds also mediate beneficial actions by direct binding to protein receptors and regulatory enzymes. There is current interest in using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSARs) to guide drug development based on flavone lead structures. This approach is most informative when it involves the use of accurate physical descriptors. The Abraham summation solute hydrogen bonding acidity ( A) is a descriptor in the general solvation equation. It defines the tendency of a molecule to act as a hydrogen bond donor, or acid, when surrounded by solvent molecules that are hydrogen bonding acceptors, or bases. As a linear free energy relationship, it is useful for predicting the absorption and uptake of drug molecules. A previously published method, involving nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, was used to evaluate A for the monohydroxyflavones (MHFs). Values of A ranged from 0.02, for 5-hydroxyflavone, to 0.69 for 4′-hydroxyflavone. The ability to examine separate NMR signals for individual hydroxyl groups allowed the investigation of intramolecular interactions between functional groups. The value of A for the position 7 hydroxyl group of 7-hydroxyflavone was 0.67. The addition of a position 5 hydroxyl group (in 5,7-dihydroxyflavone) increased the value of A for the position 7 hydroxyl group to 0.76. Values of A for MHFs were also calculated by the program ACD-Absolve and these agreed well with values measured by NMR. These results should facilitate more accurate estimation of the values of A for structurally complex flavones with pharmacological activities.

Rapid Spread

The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has created a severe global health crisis. In this paper, we used docking and simulation methods to identify potential targets and the mechanism of action of chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) against SARS-CoV-2. Our results showed that both CQ and HCQ influenced the functionality of the envelope (E) protein, necessary in the maturation processes of the virus, due to interactions that modify the flexibility of the protein structure. Furthermore, CQ and HCQ also influenced the proofreading and capping of viral RNA in SARS-CoV-2, performed by nsp10/nsp14 and nsp10/nsp16. In particular, HCQ demonstrated a better energy binding with the examined targets compared to CQ, probably due to the hydrogen bonding of the hydroxyl group of HCQ with polar amino acid residues.

The homo and heteroassociation patterns of lupinine and epilupinine in different solvents and at various concentrations have been studied. In n-hexane, n-heptane, CCl4, and C2H4Cl2 solvents, lupinine monomers with an intramolecular OH … N hydrogen bond dominate over homoassociates with an OH … O′ intermolecular hydrogen bond even in concentrated solutions. Homoassociation of lupinine by intermolecular OH … N′ hydrogen bonding is observed only in saturated solutions. In chloroform solution any intermolecular homoassociation is effectively blocked because of significant affinity of chloroform molecules acting as a weak acid toward the free electron pairs of the oxygen atom from the hydroxyl group that would be otherwise engaged in intramolecular OH … N hydrogen bonding. Epilupinine in n-hexane, n-heptane, CCl4, C2H4Cl2, and chloroform solutions forms possible homoassociates both by OH … N′ and OH … O′ intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In dioxane-d8, DMSO, and D2O solvents both lupinine and epilupinine form heteroassociates with solvent molecules.

The crystal structure of L-galactonic acid hemihydrate was determined using data obtained from an imaging plate detector (Stoe IPDS), whereas a conventional scintillation counter was used for the elucidation of the crystal structure of anhydrous D-galactonic acid. The H atom of the terminal hydroxyl group of the water-free sugar participates only in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the preterminal O atom. This hydrogen bond is part of an antidromic hydrogen-bonding cycle. The hydrogen-bonding scheme of the hemihydrate is very intricate due to the occurrence of two independent molecules and the incorporated water, whose coordination shell can be described by a distorted tetrahedron. One of the hydrogen-bond chains observed in the structure of the hemihydrate is infinite, forming a spiral running in the a direction. The crystal packing of both compounds displays a herringbone arrangement. However, the tilt angle between molecules in different herringbone halves is by far smaller in the structure of the hydrated sugar than in the water-free compound (~ 60 versus 96°).
