Experimental, quantum chemical and NBO/NLMO investigations of pantoprazole

Structural, vibrational spectroscopy, molecular docking, DFT studies and antibacterial activity of (E)-N1-(3-chlorobenzylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine

In this work, (E)-N1-(3-chlorobenzylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine (CBD) compound was synthesized with good yield. The spectral studies were recorded by FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Vis to determine structural parameters. The geometrical parameters were optimized using DFT calculations at 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The calculated structural parameters of the molecule were in line with the experimental data. The molecular orbitals of the compound were investigated through highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) analysis. The hyper conjugative interaction energy E(2) along with donor, acceptor electron densities (EDs) were determined by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), mulliken atomic charges, non-linear optical (NLO) properties and potential energy surface (PES) scan were also calculated. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts calculated using Gauge invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method were compared with the experimental NMR chemical shifts. Thermogravimetry (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were carried out to characterise the thermal behaviour and stability of CBD molecule. In addition, PreADMET tool was also used to estimate ADME and Toxicity of CBD compound. The compound screened against four pathogens two gram positive and two gram negative had shown good anti-bacterial behaviour. The molecular docking studies executed against anti-bacterial target topoisomerase DNA gyrase enzyme (2XCT) emphasized good binding behaviour over the standard drug.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Correlated studies of photoluminescence, vibrational spectroscopy and mass spectrometry concerning the pantoprazole sodium photodegradation

In this work, new optical evidences concerning the changes induced of the UV light on pantoprazole sodium (PS), in solid state and as aqueous solution, are reported by UV-VIS spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), Raman scattering and FTIR spectroscopy. New evidences concerning the products of the PS photodegradation pathways are reported by the correlated studies of thermogravimetry and mass spectrometry. The influence of the excipients and alkaline medium on the PS photodegradation is also studied. New aspects regarding the chemical mechanism of the PS photodegradation in the presence of the water vapor and oxygen form air and the alkaline medium are shown. Our results confirm that the PS photodegradation induced of the water vapors and oxygen from air leads to the generation of 5-difluoromethoxy-3H-benzimidazole-2-thione sodium, 5-difluoromethoxy-3H-benzimidazole sodium, 2-thiol methyl-3, 4-dimethoxypyridine and 2-hydroxymethyl-3, 4-dimethoxypyridine, while in the alkaline medium, compounds of the type of the 2-oxymethyl-3,4-dimethoxypyridine sodium salts are resulted.
