A drug design for safer phenylbutazone was been explored by reactivity and docking studies involving single electron transfer mechanism, as well as toxicological predictions. Several approaches about its structural properties were performed through quantum chemistry calculations at the B3LYP level of theory, together with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis sets. Molecular orbital and ionization potential were associated to electron donation capacity. The spin densities contribution showed a preferential hydroxylation at the para-positions of phenyl ring when compared to other positions. In addition, on electron abstractions the aromatic hydroxylation has more impact than alkyl hydroxylation. Docking studies indicate that six structures 1, 7, 8 and 13–15 have potential for inhibiting human as well as murine COX-2, due to regions showing similar intermolecular interactions to the observed for the control compounds (indomethacin and refecoxib). Toxicity can be related to aromatic hydroxylation. In accordance to our calculations, the derivatives here proposed are potentially more active as well safer than phenylbutazone and only structures 8 and 13–15 were the most promising. Such results can explain the biological properties of phenylbutazone and support the design of potentially safer candidates.

Amidoxime derivatives have practically valuable biological properties. We have previously obtained new spiropyrazolinium compounds by arylsulfo-chlorination of β-aminopropioamidoximes, but in case of β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pro-pioamidoxime we have obtained O-substitution product – 3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-N'-(tosyloxy)pro-panimidamide. The aim of the work is predicting of structural parameters (bond lengths, bond angles), vibrational frequencies and NMR spectra of 3-(1H-benzo-[d]imidazol-1-yl)-N'-(tosyloxy)propanimidamide. The calculations were performed using Gaussian 09 package. Structural parameters and vibrational frequencies was calculated using DFT (B3LYP/B3PW91/WB97XD)/6-31G(d,p). 1H and 13C NMR was predicted using DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)-GIAO in DMSO. All calculated values are in good agreement with experimental data. The calculated bond lengths and bond angles were compared with results of X-ray structural analysis. The best correlation coefficient was 0.981 (calcu-lations with B3LYP level). For bond angles, the best result was obtained with B3LYP level (0.990). For vibrational frequencies correlation coefficients between the calculated and experimental values were 0.997 (B3LYP), 0.996 (B3PW91) and 0.995 (WB97XD). The most accurate method was used for predic-ting NMR spectrum. The correlation coefficients between the experimental and calculated 1H and 13C chemical shifts were 0.949 and 0.999 respectively.

The effects of polarization function on the spin contamination and distribution in β'-Me4P[Pd(dmit)2]2 were studied using the DFT cluster method. Two basis sets, SV and SVP were considered in the calculations, where B3LYP functional was employed in the doublet state of the one-fragment and dimer clusters. The values of <S2> before annihilation for both SV and SVP basis sets are excellent and very close to the perfect theoretical eigenvalue of 0.75. The values of the spin densities at thiolate and thione calculated using SVP were found to be smaller than the ones using SV. The difference, however, is less than eight percent. In contrast, the difference in the spin density at Pd atoms in both monomers is significantly larger for the SVP, being about 21%. The inclusion of polarization function resulted in the shifting of electron density from the sulfur atoms to the central Pd atoms. The calculated spin densities revealed the inhomogeneous distribution of the electron spin in the dimer that leads to the existence of electron-rich and electron-poor regions.

Two known tin-based polymers of formula {[R3Sn(CH3COO)]n} where R = n-Bu– (1) and R = Ph– (2),were evaluated for their in vitro biological properties. The compounds were characterized via their physical properties and FT-IR, 119Sn Mössbauer, and 1H NMR spectroscopic data. The molecular structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction crystallography. The geometry around the tin(IV) ion is trigonal bi-pyramidal. Variations in O–Sn–O···Sn′ torsion angles lead to zig-zag and helical supramolecular assemblies for 1 and 2, respectively. The in vitro cell viability against human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell lines: MCF-7 positive to estrogens receptors (ERs) and MDA-MB-231 negative to ERs upon their incubation with 1 and 2 was investigated. Their toxicity has been studied against normal human fetal lung fibroblast cells (MRC-5). Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit 134 and 223-fold respectively stronger antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 than cisplatin. The type of the cell death caused by 1 or 2 was also determined using flow cytometry assay. The binding affinity of 1 and 2 towards the CT-DNA was suspected from the differentiation of the viscosity which occurred in the solution containing increasing amounts of 1 and 2. Changes in fluorescent emission light of Ethidium bromide (EB) in the presence of DNA confirmed the intercalation mode of interactions into DNA of both complexes 1 and 2 which have been ascertained from viscosity measurements. The corresponding apparent binding constants (Kapp) of 1 and 2 towards CT-DNA calculated through fluorescence spectra are 4.9 × 104 (1) and 7.3 × 104 (2) M−1 respectively. Finally, the type of DNA binding interactions with 1 and 2 was confirmed by docking studies.

First Order Perturbation

In the present paper, we theoretically reinvestigate structural properties, and photo-physical and chemical characteristics and electronic absorption spectra of three kinds of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes [Ru(tpy)[Formula: see text], [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(H2O)][Formula: see text], and [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(Cl)][Formula: see text] complexes in acetone (tpy[Formula: see text]2,2[Formula: see text],2[Formula: see text]-terpyridine and bpy[Formula: see text]2,2[Formula: see text]-bipyridine). In particular, the experimental absorption spectra of these complexes are revisited theoretically in detail and are simulated using the first-order perturbation theory based on time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) where the first-order perturbation term is the spin–orbit (SO) coupling Hamiltonian, and quantum chemistry calculations based on various functionals and basis sets. It was found that in general the theory including SO coupling can reproduce experimental data better than the simple quantum chemistry calculation neglecting SO coupling, which indicates that SO coupling is very important to understand the optical features of these complexes and that therefore the mixing between singlet and triplet states is strong due to the large SO coupling constant of Ru atom involved in these complexes. This suggests the fact that the disagreement between the experimental and calculated absorption spectra was found in TDB3LYP/(SDD with triple-[Formula: see text] for Ru and 6-31G* for others) [Jakubikova EJ et al., Inorg Chem 48:10720, 2009] can be tracked down to the neglect of SO couplings. It was also found that the choice of the DFT functionals and basis sets is crucial for a good theoretical reproduction of experimental data.
