Synthesis, characterization and identification of inhibitory activity on the main protease of COVID-19 by molecular docking strategy of (4-oxo-piperidinium ethylene acetal) trioxonitrate.

In this investigation a single crystal of (4-oxo-piperidinium ethylene acetal) trioxonitrate (4-OPEAN) was synthesized by modifying the mechanism of gradual evaporation at ambient temperature. The operational groupings are found in the complex material in the elaborate substance, according to the infrared spectrum. Single crystal X-ray diffraction suggests, (4-OPEAN) with the chemical formula (C7H12NO2)NO3 belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pnma and is centrosymmetric in three dimensions with the aforementioned network configurations, a = 11.7185(8) Å, b = 7.2729(6) Å, c = 11.0163(8) Å, Z = 4, V = 938.89(12) Å3, R = 0.0725 and wR = 0.1762. Many N-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bridges, both bifurcated and non-bifurcated, link the 4-oxo-piperidinium ethylene acetal cations to the trigonal (NO3-) anions. Molecular geometry and optimal parameters of (4-OPEAN) have been determined via DFT computations at the theory-level B3LYP/6-311 ++ G(d, p), these have been contrasted with the X-ray data already available. Hirshfeld surface analysis has made it possible for the visualization and quantification of relationships between molecules in the crystal composition. Quantum theory atoms in molecules, electron location function, decreased density gradient, and localized orbital locator research have all been used to explore non-covalent interactions in crystal structure. In order to pinpoint both the nucleophilic and electrophilic locations that support hydrogen bond formation, the molecule electrostatic potential was determined. The greatest and lowest energies of occupied and unfilled molecular orbitals, together with additional derived atomic characteristics, show the material to be extremely stable and hard. According to a molecular docking study, 4-OPEAN may exhibit inhibiting effects on the 6Y84 and 7EJY virus proteins from corona (COVID-19).

Synthesis, Empirical and Theoretical Investigations on New Histaminium Bis(Trioxonitrate) Compound.

In this paper, a novel hybrid material, entitled histaminium bis(trioxonitrate), with the general chemical formula (C5H11N3)(NO3)2, denoted by HTN was presented. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine the structural characteristics of this compound after it was made using a slow evaporation method at room temperature. This compound was elaborated and crystallized to the monoclinic system with space group P21/c, and the lattice parameters obtained were: a = 10.4807 (16)Å, b = 11.8747 (15)Å, c = 16.194 (2)Å, ß = 95.095 (6)°, V = 2007.4 (5)Å3 and Z = 8. The title compound's atomic structure couldbe modeled as a three-dimensional network. Organic cations and nitrate anions were connected via N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds in the HTN structure. The intermolecular interactions responsible for the formation of crystal packing were evaluated using Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The compound's infrared spectrum, which ranged from 4000 to 400 cm-1, confirmed the presence of the principal bands attributed to the internal modes of the organic cation and nitrate anions. Additionally, spectrofluorimetry and the ultraviolet-visible spectrum was used to investigate this compound. DFT calculations were used to evaluate the composition and properties of HTN. The energy gap, chemical reactivity and crystal stability of HTN were quantified by performing HOMO-LUMO frontier orbitals analysis. Topological analysis (AIM), Reduced Density Gradient (RDG), molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPS) and Mulliken population were processed to determine the types of non-covalent interactions, atomic charges and molecular polarity in detail.

Impact of non-covalent interactions on FT-IR spectrum and properties of 4-methylbenzylammonium nitrate. A DFT and molecular docking study.

In this research, the impact of non-covalent interactions on the FT-IR spectrum and structural, electronic, topological and vibrational properties of hybrid 4-methylbenzylammonium nitrate (4MBN) have been studied combining B3LYP/CC-PVTZ calculations with molecular docking. 4MBN was synthesized and characterized by using the FT-IR spectrum while the optimized structures in gas phase and in ethanol and aqueous solutions have evidenced monodentate coordination between the nitrate and methylbenzylammonium groups, in agreement with that experimental determined for this species by X-ray diffraction. Here, non-covalent interactions were deeply analyzed in terms of topological parameters (AIM), electron localization function (ELF), localized orbital locator (LOL), Hirshfeld surface and reduced density gradient (RDG) method. Weak interactions such as H-bonds, VDW and steric effect in 4MBN were visualized and quantified by the independent gradient density (IGM) based on the promolecular density. The hyper-conjugative and the delocalization of charge in 4MBN have been elucidated by natural bonding orbital (NBO) while its chemical reactivity was studied and discussed by using molecular electrostatic potential surface (MESP), frontier molecular orbital (FMOs), density of state (DOS) and partial density of state (PDOS). The complete vibrational assignments of 69 vibration modes expected for 4MBN are reported together with the scaled force constants while the electronic transitions were evaluated by TD-DFT calculations in ethanol solution. Thermal analysis (DTA and DSC) was also determined. Molecular docking calculations have suggested that 4MBN presents biological activity and could act as a good inhibitor against schizophrenia disease.
