Molecular geometry and biological activity of 2-(4-substituted-phenylimino)thiazolidin- 4-one compounds

Abstract

ABSTRACT. A series of 2-(4-substituted-phenylimino)thiazolidin-4-one compounds was synthesized via heterocyclizing the corresponding N-aryl-2-chloroacetamides with ammonium thiocyanate. Their chemical structures were elucidated based on an extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data, including infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass analyses. The possible tautomeric forms of synthesized thiazolidine-4-ones were studied. The tautomerization equilibrium parameters, ΔH, ΔG, and Keq were calculated using the DFT/B3LYP methodology, where it has been indicated that the tautomeric form, phenylimino, is more favourable than the phenylamino form. The antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the synthesized thiazolidin-4-ones were investigated. 2-(Chlorophenyl-imino)thiazolidin-4-one displayed potent antibacterial activity against E. coli (88.46%) and S. aureus (91.66%), and highest percent of inhibition (81.8%, ABTS assay).

Geometry optimization and energy parameter calculations using density-functional theory method and molecular docking of anticonvulsant therapeutic metal complexes of gabapentin

“…Utilizing the DMOL 3 program from the Materials Studio package [23], computational studies were carried out [24][25][26]. Double numerical basis sets and polarization functional (DNP) were used in the computations of DFT semi-core pseudopods (dspp) [27].…”

“…Gpn) moiety is slightly altered; the most substantial change is triggered in C(7)-N(8), N(8)-H(25), N(8)-H(26), C(10)-O(12), O(9)-C(10) and O(9)-H(27) bond lengths which, as a result of bonding, are either decreased or increased upon complexation[34]. (ii) The bond angles in [Ni(L)(H2O)3Cl] and [Mn(L)(H2O)3Cl] complexes are close to octahedral geometry, which predicts sp 3 d 2 or d 2 sp 3 hybridization.…”
