Abstract
In this study, the effect of non-covalent interactions on the para-aminosalicylic acid complex is explored using density functional theory (DFT) in the gas phase and the solution. Our findings exhibit that the achieved binding energies considerably change on going from the gas phase to the solution. Based on the obtained results, the absolute value of the binding energy of the complex in the polar solvents is lower than the non-polar ones while in the gas phase it is higher than the solution. The atoms in molecules (AIM) and the natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses are applied to estimate the topological properties and the charge transfer during complexation, respectively. The results indicate that the presence of the cation-π interaction increases the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the studied complex. Finally, the various electronic descriptors such as energy gap, hardness, softness, and electronic chemical potential are investigated to gain further insight into these interactions. According to the achieved results, the high energy gap of the complex in the water solvent indicates high chemical stability and low reactivity compared to the others. On the other hand, the most reactive as well as the softest complex belongs to the gas phase.

Abstract
The kidneys are a pair of important organs that excretes endogenous waste and exogenous biological agents from the body. Numerous transporters are involved in the excretion process. The levels of these transporters could affect the pharmacokinetics of many drugs, such as organic anion drugs, organic cationic drugs, and peptide drugs. Eleven drug transporters in the kidney (OAT1, OAT3, OATP4C1, OCT2, MDR1, BCRP, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT4, MRP2, and MRP4) have become necessary research items in the development of innovative drugs. However, the levels of these transporters vary between different species, sex-genders, ages, and disease statuses, which may lead to different pharmacokinetics of drugs. Here, we review the differences of the important transports in the mentioned conditions, in order to help clinicians to improve clinical prescriptions for patients. To predict drug-drug interactions (DDIs) caused by renal drug transporters, the molecular docking method is used for rapid screening of substrates or inhibitors of the drug transporters. Here, we review a large number of natural products that represent potential substrates and/or inhibitors of transporters by the molecular docking method.
