Sahoo L, Pradhan RK, Mohapatra M, Singh S. Studies on solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions of quercetin and 7-hydroxy flavone with nicotinamide in hydro-ethanolic mixed solvents: bioflavonoid-HBD interactions by volumetric and acoustic analysis. BMC Chem 2025; 19:111. [PMID: 40287770 PMCID: PMC12034188 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-025-01463-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2025] [Indexed: 04/29/2025] Open
Abstract
The interaction between quercetin (QUE) / 7-hydroxy flavone (7-HF) and nicotinamide (NAM) in drug formulations is an intriguing area of research due to their complementary biological effects. When used together, their combined actions can potentially offer synergistic therapeutic benefits. The objective of the present study is to analyze and interpret the types of interactions among various polar, non-polar, hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of quaternary systems (QUE + water + ethanol + NAM) and (7-HF + water + ethanol + NAM) by volumetric and acoustic approach. The positive values of V ϕ 0 exhibit an increasing trend with temperature, indicating that there is a significant solute-solvent interaction in the investigated solutions. Positive partial molar expansibilities demonstrate that QUE/7-HF promotes solute-solvent interactions in the system and functions as a structure former in aqueous solutions. The partial isentropic compressibility, K s 0 values are higher in 7-HF than in QUE showing greater extent of molecular interactions in 7-HF. From the derived data, the types of solute-solvent and solute-solute interactions and the structural modifications of water molecules were interpreted as a result of the inclusion of QUE/7-HF (solute) and NAM (co-solute) in the solvation shells. This study may provide a better understanding regarding the stronger solute-solvent interactions and structure-building ability of QUE/7-HF + NAM in a hydro-ethanolic medium, which may further help develop a pharmaceutical formulation of their mixture.

Computational Insights into the Antioxidant Activity of Luteolin: Density Functional Theory Analysis and Docking in Cytochrome P450 17A1. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2025; 18:410. [PMID: 40143186 PMCID: PMC11944526 DOI: 10.3390/ph18030410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2025] [Revised: 03/09/2025] [Accepted: 03/12/2025] [Indexed: 03/28/2025] Open
Abstract
Background: Luteolin, a flavonoid with well-documented antioxidant properties, has garnered significant attention for its potential therapeutic effects. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the antioxidant properties of luteolin under the influence of solvents, utilizing computational techniques to elucidate its interactions and its potential role as a modulator of enzymatic activities, particularly with Cytochrome 17A1. Methods: Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were employed to determine luteolin's electronic and structural characteristics. Key aspects analyzed included electron density distribution and the energies of the frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO). Free radical scavenging mechanisms were explored by comparing the dissociation enthalpy of the O-H bond in the absence and presence of water molecules. Additionally, molecular docking simulations were performed to assess the interactions of luteolin with Cytochrome 17A1, identifying preferred binding sites and interaction energies. Results: The findings indicate that luteolin possesses distinct structural and electronic features that contribute to its effectiveness in protecting against oxidative stress. However, hydrogen bonding interactions with water molecules were found to influence the dissociation enthalpy of the O-H bond. Docking simulations revealed significant interaction profiles between luteolin and Cytochrome 17A1, suggesting its potential role as a modulator of this protein. Conclusions: This study underscores the therapeutic potential of luteolin and highlights the importance of computational techniques in predicting and understanding the molecular interactions of bioactive compounds with biological targets. The results provide valuable insights that may aid in developing new therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and favipiravir (FPV) are known to be effective antivirals, and there are reports about their use to fight the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) despite that these are not conclusive. The use of combined drugs is common in drug discovery, and thus, we investigated HCQ and FPV as a combined drug. The density functional theory method was used for the optimization of geometries, spectroscopic analysis and calculation of reactivity parameters. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules was applied to explain the nature of the hydrogen bonds and confirm the higher stability of the combined drug. We also evaluated the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) parameters to assess their drug actions jointly using SwissADME. The preliminary findings of our theoretical study are promising for further investigations of more potent and selective antiviral drugs.

Elucidating the Aromatic Properties of Covalent Organic Frameworks Surface for Enhanced Polar Solvent Adsorption. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13111861.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have a distinguished surface as they are mostly made by boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Many applications of COFs rely on polarity, size, charge, stability and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of their surface. In this study, two frequently used COFs sheets, COF-1 and covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTF-1), are studied. In addition, a theoretical porous graphene (TPG) was included for comparison purposes. The three solid sheets were investigated for aromaticity and stability using quantum mechanics calculations and their ability for water and ethanol adsorption using molecular dynamics simulations. COF-1 demonstrated the poorest aromatic character due to the highest energy delocalization interaction between B–O bonding orbital of sigma type and unfilled valence-shell nonbonding of boron. CTF-1 was identified as the least kinetically stable and the most chemically reactive. Both COF-1 and CTF-1 showed good surface properties for selective adsorption of water via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Among the three sheets, TPG’s surface was mostly affected by aromatic currents and localized π electrons on the phenyl rings which in turn made it the best platform for selective adsorption of ethanol via van der Waals interactions. These results can serve as guidelines for future studies on solvent adsorption for COFs materials.

Abstract
Aim This research aimed to investigate the differences in the sealing capability of propolis extracts and Ca(OH)2 on dentin surfaces. Materials and Methods Eighteen mandible incisors of Wistar rats were prepared at a depth of 0.5 mm after which they were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6) including control (C), pulp-capped with Ca(OH)2 group (P1), and indirect pulp-capped with propolis extract group (P2). All the cavities were sealed with glass ionomer restorative cement. Moreover, the sections of the teeth were obtained after six Wistar Rats from each group were sacrificed on the second day after treatment. The rats’ incisors were cleaved transversally to the area where Ca(OH)2 and propolis extract bonded with dentin for the SEM (scanning electron microscope) analysis and examined using microphotographs test with 5000x magnification. All the samples were measured and examined with spectrophotometry test to determine the bonding distance between Ca(OH)2 and dentin, as well as propolis extract and dentin. The result from the two tests was analyzed with SPSS using an independent t-test at p <0.05. Results There were significant differences between the calcium hydroxide and propolis extract groups (p<0.05) based on the results obtained in the form of spectrums chemical functional groups of spectrophotometry examination. No new chemical bonding or compound was also observed to have been formed between propolis extract with dentin as well as calcium hydroxide with dentin. Conclusion The adaptation or sealing capability of propolis extract was found to be better than calcium hydroxide to the dentin surface.

Abstract
![]()
As
a field, computational toxicology is concerned with using in silico models to predict and understand the origins of
toxicity. It is fast, relatively inexpensive, and avoids the ethical
conundrum of using animals in scientific experimentation. In this
perspective, we discuss the importance of computational models in
toxicology, with a specific focus on the different model types that
can be used in predictive toxicological approaches toward mutagenicity
(SARs and QSARs). We then focus on how quantum chemical methods, such
as density functional theory (DFT), have previously been used in the
prediction of mutagenicity. It is then discussed how DFT allows for
the development of new chemical descriptors that focus on capturing
the steric and energetic effects that influence toxicological reactions.
We hope to demonstrate the role that DFT plays in understanding the
fundamental, intrinsic chemistry of toxicological reactions in predictive
toxicology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Novel particle engineering approach was used in this study to generate high dose inhalable effervescent particles with synergistic effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. METHODS Spray dried co-amorphous salt of ciprofloxacin (CFX) and tartaric acid (TA) was prepared and coated with external layer of sodium bicarbonate and silica coated silver nanobeads. Design of experiments (DOE) was used to optimize physicochemical properties of particles for enhanced lung deposition. RESULTS Generated particles were co-amorphous CFX/TA showing that CFX lost its zwitterionic form and exhibiting distinct properties to CFX/HCl as assessed by FTIR and thermal analysis. Particles exhibited mass mean aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 3.3 μm, emitted dose of 78% and fine particle dose of 85%. Particles were further evaluated via antimicrobial assessment of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC). MIC and MBEC results showed that the hybrid particles were around 3-5 times more effective when compared to CFX signifying that synergistic effect was achieved. Diffusing wave spectroscopy results showed that the silver containing particles had a disruptive effect on rheological properties as opposed to silver free particles. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these results showed the potential to use particle engineering to generate particles that are highly disruptive of bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficiency of amphiphilic methotrexate-camptothecin (MTX-CPT) prodrug compared to free drug mixture (MTX/CPT) has been investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics simulation and first principles density functional theory calculations. This comparison revealed that MTX-CPT prodrug tends to form spherical self-assembled nanoparticle (NP), while free MTX/CPT mixture forms rod-shape NP. These observations are attributed to a structural defect in the MTX-CPT prodrug and solvation free energies of MTX, CPT and MTX-CPT molecules. The results provided evidence that noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the pharmaceutical drugs play a very important role in anticancer agents aggregation process, leading to enhanced stability of the self-assembled NPs. It is found that the stability of MTX-CPT self-assembled NP is greater than the MTX/CPT NP due to the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding between monomers and solvent (water). Moreover, the noncatalyzed as well as catalyzed hydrolysis reactions of MTX-CPT prodrug are theoretically studied at the PCM(water)//M06-2X/6-31G(d,p) computational level to shed additional light on the role of acidic condition in tumor tissues. We found that the ester hydrolysis in mild acidic solutions is a concerted reaction. In an agreement between theory and experiment, we also confirmed that the activation energies of the catalyzed-hydrolysis steps are much lower than the activation energies of the corresponding steps in the noncatalyzed reaction. Thus, the MTX-CPT prodrug reveals very promising properties as a pH-controlled drug delivery system.

Abstract
Presented here are the synthesis, characterization and study (using single crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, quantum mechanics calculations) of the structures of a series of biphenyls substituted in positions 3, 3', 4 and 4' with a variety of R (R = methyl, acetyl, hexyl) groups connected to the biphenyl core through oxygen atoms. The molecular conformation, particularly the torsion angle between aromatic rings has been extensively studied both in the solid as well as in the liquid state. The results show that the compounds appearing as rigorously planar in the solid present instead a twisted conformation in the melt. The solid versus melt issue strongly suggests that the reasons for planarity are to be found in the packing restraints. A `rule of thumb' is suggested for the design of biphenyls with different molecular conformations, based on the selection of the OR substituent.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at probing the hydrogen bonding interaction between epinephrine and uracil by means of density functional theory calculations concerning their complexation's geometries, interaction energies, and vibrational frequencies. Geometry optimization was carried out giving 19 stable geometries of epinephrine-uracil complex with interaction energies in a range of - 21.51 to - 62.37 kJ mol-1 using the basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. The analysis of structure and vibration shows that the hydrogen bonding elongates the length of corresponding bond O(N)-H and decreases the symmetric stretching vibrational frequency, which indicates red-shifted H-bonding interactions in all the geometries. Additionally, the analysis with theories of natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecules (AIM), and the reduced density gradient (RDG) of hydrogen bonding properties and characteristics of the 19 geometries suggests that the hydrogen bonding in all the optimized structures of epinephrine-uracil complex is kind of a closed-shell interaction and mainly electrostatic dominant.

Abstract
The interaction between three widely used antimalarial drugs chloroquine, primaquine and amodiaquine with acrylamide dimer and trimer as a hydrogel model, were studied by means of density functional theory calculation in both vacuum and water environments, using the functional wb97xd with 6-31++G(d,p) basis set and polarizable continuum model (C-PCM) of solvent. According to binding energy, around −3.15 to −11.91 kJ/mol, the interaction between antimalarial compounds and hydrogel model are exothermic in nature. The extent of interaction found is primaquine > amodiaquine > chloroquine. The natural bond orbital (NBO) calculation and application of second-order perturbation theory show strong charge transfer between the antimalarial and hydrogel model. In addition, the results suggest these interactions are polar in nature, where hydrogen bonds play a principal role in stabilization of the complex. Comparing with the gas-phase, the complexes in the water environment are also stable, with suitable values of Log P (Partition coefficient), and dipolar momentum. Consequently, these results encourage to test acrylamide hydrogels as antimalarial delivery systems.

Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C17H12N2O3·H2O comprises two mol-ecules of (E)-3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and a water mol-ecule. The main mol-ecule adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the C=O and C=C bonds. The dihedral angle between the indole ring system and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 37.64 (16)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O--H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. In addition, weak C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions further link the structure into a three-dimensional network. The optimized structure was generated theoretically via a density functional theory (DFT) approach at the B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis level and the HOMO-LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. The obtained values of 2.70 eV (experimental) and 2.80 eV (DFT) are desirable for optoelectronic applications. The inter-molecular inter-actions were qu-anti-fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Abstract
We developed a set of conformationally locked molecules each of which makes a single CHO H-bond/short contact and has different electron density at the acceptor oxygen atom. The downfield shift of the 1H NMR signals due to the hydrogen involved in the CHO H-bond varied from 0.93-1.6 ppm, and the magnitude of Δδ is in correlation with the hybridization state of the acceptor oxygen and with the CHO H-bond strengths quantified using a computational method.

The interaction strengths and spectroscopy parameters of the C 2H 2∙∙∙HX and HCN∙∙∙HX complexes (X = F, Cl, CN, and CCH) and related ternary systems valued by fluxes of charge densities: QTAIM, CCFO, and NBO calculations. J Mol Model 2017; 23:110. [PMID: 28285444 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-017-3270-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2016] [Accepted: 01/31/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
This theoretical work exhibits a new systematic study of structural parameters, electronic properties, infrared vibration modes, and molecular topography of hydrogen complexes, namely linear-type HCN⋯HX and T-type C2H2⋯HX (X = F, Cl, CN, and CCH). Ideally, the knowledge of the ternary systems of C2H2⋯HCN⋯HF and HCN⋯HCN⋯HF whose subparts integrate the linear and T-shaped complexes were used to give support in this current research. By means of computational calculations carried out in both levels B3LYP and MP2, the variations of the HX bond lengths are clearly overestimated in the HCN⋯HX linear complexes. In agreement with the analyses of the electrostatic potentials, the higher intermolecular energies of these complexes agree with the larger red-shifts in the stretch frequencies in HX. Also, the QTAIM descriptors and NBO calculations were used to inspect the interaction strength as well as to confirm the π cloud as a proton accepting center. By taking into account the absorption intensity ratio as a standard parameter to predict the interaction strength and intermolecular characterization, the formalism of the charge-charge flux-overlap modified (CCFO) was applied.
