ABSTRACT
Objective Two co-crystals of isonicotinic acid hydrazide(INH)-malonic acid and INH-glutaric acid were prepared.The formation mechanism and intermolecular interaction were studied. Methods Three-dimensional structure of 2 co-crystals were obtained though single crystal X-ray diffraction(SXRD), and intermolecular interaction was analyzed using Hirshfeld surface method. Results INH-malonic acid crystalized in stoichiometric ratio of 1:0.5,while INH-glutaric acid in 1:1.Two co-crystals maintain their stable arrangement in space by hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. Conclusion With the existence of pyridine ring and carbohydrazide group in INH,which mainter-molecular interaction in co-crystal can be directly and clearly revealed by Hirshfeld surface analysis.
ABSTRACT
Fluorinated compounds, which now make up 20%-25% of all marketed chemical drugs, are playing significant role and showing great potential in medicinal chemistry. Fluorine substitution is always utilized to change the physicochemical properties of the compounds to improve the ADME/T properties. In addition, fluorine substitution leads to improvement of the ligand binding affinity. With respect to molecular level, organofluorine can form various intermolecular interactions with the target proteins, e.g., hydrogen bond, halogen bond, C-F…π interaction, polar interaction and so on. These interactions display unique properties or nature due to the specificity of fluorine atom, which are at the center of attention. This paper reviews the related research background, followed by the research progress of hydrogen bond, halogen bond, C-F…π interaction, polar interaction and some other interactions involved organofluorine.
