Abstract
Two polyphenols-hyperoside (HYP) and protocatechuic acid (PCA) were reported to exert antidepressant activity in rodents after acute treatment. Our previous study also showed that this activity might have been influenced by the monoaminergic system and the upregulation of the brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) level. A very long-term pharmacological therapy is required for the treatment of a patient with depression. The repetitive use of antidepressants is recognized to impact the brain structures responsible for regulating both emotional and cognitive behaviors. Thus, we investigated the antidepressant, anxiolytic, and procognitive effects of HYP and PCA in mice after acute and prolonged treatment (14 days). Both polyphenols induced an anxiogenic-like effect after acute treatment, whereas an anxiolytic effect occurred after repetitive administration. PCA and HYP showed procognitive effects when they were administered acutely and chronically, but it seems that their influence on long-term memory was stronger than on short-term memory. In addition, the preset study showed that the dose of 7.5 mg/kg of PCA and HYP was effective in counteracting the effects of co-administered scopolamine in the long-term memory impairment model induced by scopolamine. Our experiments revealed the compounds have no affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, whereas a significant increase in serum serotonin level after prolonged administration of PCA and HYP at a dose of 3.75 mg/kg was observed. Thus, it supports the involvement of the serotonergic system in the polyphenol mechanisms. These findings led us to hypothesize that the polyphenols isolated from Impatiens glandulifera can hold promise in treating mental disorders with cognitive dysfunction. Consequently, extended studies are necessary to delve into their pharmacological profile.

Abstract
The activity of several halogenated copper (II) complexes of 4-chloro-3-nitrophenylthiourea derivatives has been tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and strains of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. The compounds were 2-16 times more potent than current TB-drugs against multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis 210. The 3,4-dichlorophenylthiourea complex (5) was equipotent to ethambutol (EMB) towards M. tuberculosis H37Rv and 192 strains. All derivatives acted 2-8 times stronger than isoniazid (INH) against nontuberculous isolates. In the presence of chosen coordinates, the 2-64 times reduction of MIC values of standard drugs was denoted. The synergistic interaction was found between the complex 4 and rifampicin (RMP), and additivity of 1-5, 8 in pairs with EMB and/or streptomycin (SM) against M. tuberculosis 800 was established. All coordination compounds in combination with at least one drug showed additive activity towards both H37Rv and 192 isolates. In 67% incidences of indifference, the individual MIC of a drug decreased 2-16-fold. One can conclude that the novel thiourea chelates described here are potent hits for further developments of new agents against tuberculosis.

Abstract
New halogenated thiourea derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of substituted phenylisothiocyanates with aromatic amines. Their cytotoxic activity was examined in in vitro studies against solid tumors (SW480, SW620, PC3), a hematological malignance (K-562), and normal keratinocytes (HaCaT). Most of the compounds were more effective against SW480 (1a, 3a, 3b, 5j), K-562 (2b, 3a, 4a), or PC3 (5d) cells than cisplatin, with favorable selectivity. Their anticancer mechanisms were studied by Annexin V-fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate apoptosis, caspase-3/caspase-7 assessment, cell cycle analysis, interleukin-6 (IL-6) release inhibition, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation assay. Thioureas 1a, 2b, 3a, and 4a were the most potent activators of early apoptosis in K-562 cells, and substances 1a, 3b, 5j triggered late-apoptosis or necrosis in SW480 cells. This proapoptotic effect was proved by the significant increase of caspase-3/caspase-7 activation. Cell cycle analysis revealed that derivatives 1a, 3a, 5j increased the number of SW480 and K-562 cells in the sub-G1 and/or G0/G1 phases, and one evoked cycle arrest at the G2 phase. The most potent thioureas inhibited IL-6 cytokine secretion from PC3 cells and both colon cancer cell lines. Apoptosis-inducing compounds also increased ROS production in all tumor cell cultures, which may enhance their anticancer properties.

Abstract
A novel series of N-acylated ciprofloxacin (CP) conjugates 1-21 were synthesized and screened as potential antimicrobial agents. Conjugates 1 and 2 were 1.25-10-fold more potent than CP toward all Staphylococci (minimal inhibitory concentration 0.05-0.4 μg/mL). Most of the chloro- (3-7), bromo- (8-11), and CF3-alkanoyl (14-16) derivatives expressed higher or comparable activity to CP against selected Gram-positive strains. A few CP analogues (5, 10, and 11) were also more effective toward the chosen clinical Gram-negative rods. Conjugates 5, 10, and 11 considerably influenced the phases of the bacterial growth cycle over 18 h. Additionally, compounds 2, 4-7, 9-12, and 21 exerted stronger tuberculostatic action against three Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates than the first-line antitubercular drugs. Amides 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, and 11 targeted gyrase and topoisomerase IV at 2.7-10.0 μg/mL, which suggests a mechanism of antibacterial action related to CP. These findings were confirmed by molecular docking studies. In addition, compounds 3 and 15 showed high antiproliferative activities against prostate PC3 cells (IC50 2.02-4.8 μM), up to 6.5-2.75 stronger than cisplatin. They almost completely reduced the growth and proliferation rates in these cells, without a cytotoxic action against normal HaCaT cell lines. Furthermore, derivatives 3 and 21 induced apoptosis/necrosis in PC3 cells, probably by increasing the intracellular ROS amount, as well as they diminished the IL-6 level in tumor cells.

Abstract
Copper complexes with 1,3-disubstituted thiourea derivatives, all containing 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl tail and 1-alkyl/halogen-phenyl substituent, were synthesized. The experimental spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculation revealed that two ligands coordinate to Cu(II) in a bidentate fashion via thiocarbonyl S and deprotonated N atoms of thiourea moiety. Such monomers are characteristic of alkylphenylthiourea complexes, whereas the formation of a sandwich-type dimer is observed for halogeno derivatives. For the first time, the structural identifications of CuN2S2-based complexes using experimental and theoretical X-ray absorption near edge structure are demonstrated. The dimeric halogeno derivatives showed higher antimicrobial activity in comparison with alkylphenylthiourea complexes. The Cu(II) complex of 1-(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiourea was active against 19 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MIC = 2 µg/mL). This derivative acted as a dual inhibitor of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV isolated from Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, complexes of halogenphenylthiourea strongly inhibited the growth of mycobacteria isolated from tuberculosis patients, even fourfold stronger than the reference isoniazid. The complexes exerted weak to moderate antitumor activity (towards SW480, SW620, and PC3) being non-toxic towards normal HaCaT cells.

Abstract
Novel conjugates (CP) of moxifloxacin (MXF) with fatty acids (1m–16m) were synthesized with good yields utilizing amides chemistry. They exhibit a more pronounced cytotoxic potential than the parent drug. They were the most effective for prostate cancer cells with an IC50 below 5 µM for respective conjugates with sorbic (2m), oleic (4m), 6-heptenoic (10m), linoleic (11m), caprylic (15m), and stearic (16m) acids. All derivatives were evaluated against a panel of standard and clinical bacterial strains, as well as towards mycobacteria. The highest activity towards standard isolates was observed for the acetic acid derivative 14m, followed by conjugates of unsaturated crotonic (1m) and sorbic (2m) acids. The activity of conjugates tested against an expanded panel of clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci showed that the compound (14m) was recognized as a leading structure with an MIC of 0.5 μg/mL denoted for all quinolone-susceptible isolates. In the group of CP derivatives, sorbic (2) and geranic (3) acid amides exhibited the highest bactericidal potential against clinical strains. The M. tuberculosis Spec. 210 strain was the most sensitive to sorbic (2m) conjugate and to conjugates with medium- and long-chain polyunsaturated acids. To establish the mechanism of antibacterial action, selected CP and MXF conjugates were examined in both topoisomerase IV decatenation assay and the DNA gyrase supercoiling assay, followed by suitable molecular docking studies.

Abstract
Substituted thiourea derivatives possess confirmed cytotoxic activity towards cancer but also normal cells. To develop new selective antitumor agents, a series of 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylthiourea analogs were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro against the cell line panel. Compounds 1-5, 8, and 9 were highly cytotoxic against human colon (SW480, SW620) and prostate (PC3) cancer cells, and leukemia K-562 cell lines (IC50 ≤ 10 µM), with favorable selectivity over normal HaCaT cells. The derivatives exerted better growth inhibitory profiles towards selected tumor cells than the reference cisplatin. Compounds incorporating 3,4-dichloro- (2) and 4-CF3-phenyl (8) substituents displayed the highest activity (IC50 from 1.5 to 8.9 µM). The mechanisms of cytotoxic action of the most effective thioureas 1-3, 8, and 9 were studied, including the trypan blue exclusion test of cell viability, interleukin-6, and apoptosis assessments. Compounds reduced all cancerous cell numbers (especially SW480 and SW620) by 20-93%. Derivatives 2 and 8 diminished the viability of SW620 cells by 45-58%. Thioureas 1, 2, and 8 exerted strong pro-apoptotic activity. Compound 2 induced late apoptosis in both colon cancer cell lines (95-99%) and in K-562 cells (73%). All derivatives acted as inhibitors of IL-6 levels in both SW480 and SW620 cells, decreasing its secretion by 23-63%.

Abstract
Spectroscopic analysis of 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiourea (FPTT) is reported. Experimental and theoretical analyses of FPTT, with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, are reported for finding different parameters like identification of suitable excipients, interactions with water, and sensitivity towards autoxidation. Molecular dynamics and docking show that FPTT can act as a potential inhibitor for new drug. Additionally, local reactivity, interactivity with water, and compatibility of FPTT molecule with frequently used excipients have been studied by combined application of density functional theory (DFT) and MD simulations. Analysis of local reactivity has been performed based on selected fundamental quantum-molecular descriptors, while interactivity with water was studied by calculations of radial distribution functions (RDFs). Compatibility with excipients has been assessed through calculations of solubility parameters, applying MD simulations. Graphical abstract Reactive sites identified.

Abstract
A new series of norbornene and exo-N-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide derivatives was prepared, and their affinities to the 5-HT1A , 5-HT2A , and 5-HT2C receptors were evaluated and compared with a previously synthesized series of derivatives characterized by the same nuclei, to identify selective ligands for the subtype receptors. Arylpiperazines represent one of the most important classes of 5-HT1A R ligands, and the research of new derivatives has been focused on the modification of one or more portions of this pharmacophore. The combination of structural elements (heterocyclic nucleus, hydroxyalkyl chain, and 4-substituted piperazine), known to be critical for the affinity to 5-HT1A receptors, and the proper selection of substituents resulted in compounds with high specificity and affinity toward serotoninergic receptors. The most active compounds were selected for further in vivo assays to determine their functional activity. Finally, to rationalize the obtained results, molecular docking studies were performed. The results of the pharmacological studies showed that 3e, 4j, and 4n were the most active and promising derivatives for the serotonin receptor considered in this study.

Abstract
Opioids are the gold standard drugs for the treatment of acute and chronic severe pain, although their serious side effects constitute a big limitation. In the search for new and safer drugs, 5-HT1AR agonists are emerging as potential candidates in pain relief therapy. In this work, we evaluated the affinity and activity of enantiomers of the two newly synthesized, potent 5-HT1AR agonists N-[(2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]-2-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)phenoxy]ethan-1-ammonium hydrogenoxalate (rac-1) and N-((2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-2-(2-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)phenoxy)ethan-1-ammonium hydrogenoxalate (rac-2) in vitro and in vivo. The role of chirality in the interaction with 5-HT1AR was evaluated by molecular docking. The activity of the rac-1 was tested in mouse models of acute pain (hot plate) and severe tonic nociceptive stimulation (intraplantar formalin test). Rac-1 was active in the formalin test with a reduction in paw licking in both phases at 10 mg/kg, and its effect was abolished by the selective 5-HT1AR antagonist, WAY-100635. The eutomer (S)-1, but not the racemate, was active during the hot plate test at 10 and 20 mg/kg, and this effect was abolished by 30 min treatment with WAY-100635 at 30 min. Similarly to 8-OH-DPAT, (S)-1 evoked a slow outward current and depressed spontaneous glutamatergic transmission in superficial dorsal horn neurons, more effectively than rac-1. The eutomer (S)-1 showed promising developability properties, such as high selectivity over 5-HT subtypes, no interaction with the μ receptors, and low hepato- and cardiotoxicity. Therefore, (S)-1 may represent a potential candidate for the treatment of acute and chronic pain without having the adverse effects that are commonly associated with the classic opioid drugs.

Abstract
Seven novel derivatives of bis(2-aminoethyl)amine were synthesized. For compounds 1 and 7 single crystals were isolated and X-ray diffraction experiments were done. Lipophilicity and drug likeness were calculated in the initial stage of research. All compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines, which is contrary to normal (HaCaT) cell lines, by using the MTT method. Studies were followed by lactate dehydrogenase assay, apoptotic activity, and interleukin-6 assay. Within the studied group, compound 6 showed the most promising results in all biological studies. The strongest influence in A549 cells was denoted for derivative 4, which inhibited interleukin release almost tenfold, as compared to the control.

Abstract
Four 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylthiourea derivatives were prepared by condensation of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine with the corresponding aryl/alkylisothiocyanates in a medium-polarity solvent. Their structures were confirmed by spectral techniques, and the molecular structure of 3 was determined by X-ray crystal analysis. For all derivatives, the binding affinities at the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, as well as their functional activities at the 5-HT1A and D2 receptors, were determined. The arylthioureas 1 and 4 were the most active at the 5-HT1A receptor, showing, at the same time, significant selectivity over the studied 5-HT2 and D2 receptor subtypes. The compounds were tested for their pharmacological activities within the central nervous system in relevant mouse models. The involvement of the serotonergic system in the activity of 1 and 4 was indicated. The antinociceptive action of 4 was linked to its anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
4-Chloro-3-nitrophenylthioureas 1–30 were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Compounds exhibited high to moderate antistaphylococcal activity against both standard and clinical strains (MIC values 2–64 μg/mL). Among them derivatives with electron-donating alkyl substituents at the phenyl ring were the most promising. Moreover, compounds 1–6 and 8–19 were cytotoxic against MT-4 cells and various other cell lines derived from human hematological tumors (CC50 ≤ 10 μM). The influence of derivatives 11, 13 and 25 on viability, mortality and the growth rate of immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) was observed.

Abstract
A total of 14 of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives were prepared by reacting appropriate thiourea and sodium azide in the presence of mercury (II) chloride and triethylamine. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial activity. Derivatives 10 and 11 showed the highest inhibition against Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains (standard and hospital strains). The observed minimal inhibitory concentrations values were in the range of 1-208 μM (0.25-64 μg/ml). Inhibitory activity of 1,5-tetrazole derivatives 10 and 11 against gyrase and topoisomerase IV isolated from S. aureus was studied. Evaluation was supported by molecular docking studies for all synthesized derivatives and reference ciprofloxacin. Moreover, selected tetrazoles (2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity. All tested compounds are non-cytotoxic against HaCaT and A549 cells (CC50 ≤ 60 μM).

Abstract
On the basis of recently reported biologically active 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylthioureas, a series of diaryl derivatives incorporating 1H-tetrazol-5-yl (1a-11a, 1a'-11a') and 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (1b-11b) scaffolds were synthesized. The synthesis pathway was confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic studies of 3a', 6a, 8a, 6b and 8b. The cytotoxicity against MT-4 cells and anti-HIV properties of new derivatives were evaluated. As compared to initial thiourea connections, the cyclisation reduced the cytotoxicity of compounds by 2-15 times. The most promising N-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-amine 7a was found to be more active than the origin thiourea. Its cytotoxicity was evaluated on A549, HTB-140 and HaCaT cell lines using MTT assay. The compound shows significant influence on cancer, but not on normal cells. Obtained results can provide some constructive data for further designing of novel family of potentially bioactive analogs.

Abstract
A set of 21 thiourea derivatives were prepared through reacting 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole with the commercial aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates. The aliphatic isothiocyanate was used as reagent leading to substitution on NH atom of 3-aminotriazole ring, whereas the triazole amino group was substituted when isothiocyanate group was bonded to the Csp2 hybridized atom, e.g. an aryl or C=O fragment. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for the antimicrobial activity. The derivatives 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 12 showed the highest inhibition against Gram-positive cocci (S. aureus and S. epidermidis). The observed MIC values were in the range of 4-32 μg/mL. Compounds were also tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against the hospital methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus. The observed MIC values varied from 4 to 64 μg/mL. The products 4 and 10 effectively inhibited the formation of biofilms of the methicillin-resistant and standard strains of S. epidermidis. The compound 10 was found to be more promising with IC50 values of 2-6 μg/mL as compared to the control. Moreover, the cytotoxicity against the MT-4 cells of all studied thioureas was evaluated. The compound 18 was significantly cytotoxic (CC50 = 8 μM).

Abstract
Thiourea derivatives have been reported to possess many biological activities, among them antiviral and antitumoral properties. As part of our continuing effort to develop new active compounds, we report the synthesis and the evaluation of new fifteen thiourea derivatives with 1,3-benzothiazole-2-yl moiety, among them a group of biologically active (1-7) also underwent cyclization to 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones. Molecular structure of four compounds (4, 13, 15 and 3a) was determined by an X-ray crystallography. We here report the evaluation of their cytotoxicity against human leukaemia/lymphoma- and solid tumour-derived cell lines and of their antiviral activity against HIV-1 and representatives of ssRNA and dsDNA viruses. Derivative 5 showed an interesting activity against HIV-1 wild type and against variants carrying clinically relevant mutations. A colorimetric enzyme immunoassay clarified its mode of action as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the reverse transcriptase.

Abstract
Five of thiourea derivatives were prepared using as a starting compound 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline, 1,3-thiazol-2-amine, 2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and commercial isothiocyanates. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activity. Derivatives 2 and 3 showed the highest inhibition against Gram-positive cocci (standard and hospital strains). The observed MIC values were in the range of 0.5–8 μg/ml. The products effectively inhibited the formation of biofilms of methicillin-resistant and standard strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Inhibitory activity of thioureas 2 and 3 against Staphylococcus aureus topoisomerase IV was studied. The examined compounds were nongenotoxic.

Abstract
A series of halogeno derivatives of thiourea bearing a polycyclic imide core has been efficiently synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial activity. The structures of the compounds were established by 1H and 13C NMR and MS methods. The molecular structure of 4Clc was determined by an X-ray crystallography. Compounds containing 3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl substituent (3Cl4Fb, 3Cl4Fd) were found to be the most promising against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC values ranged from 8 to 32 pg/mL for standard and 32 - 64 µg/mL for hospital strains). The in vitro cytotoxicity against MT-4 cells of all compounds was evaluated.

Abstract
A series of novel 4-chloro-3-nitrophenylthiourea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial, antibiofilm and tuberculostatic activities. Most of compounds exhibited high antibacterial activity against both standard and hospital strains (MIC values 0.5-2 μg/mL), as compared to Ciprofloxacin. Derivatives with 3,4-dichlorophenyl (11) and 3-chloro-4-methylphenyl (13) substituents were the most promising towards Gram-positive pathogens. Both of them exhibited antibiofilm potency and effectively inhibited the formation of biofilms of methicillin-resistant and standard strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Two N-alkylthioureas (20, 21) showed twofold to fourfold increase in in vitro potency against isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as compared to Isoniazid. An action of 7, 10, 11, 13, 20 and 21 against activity of topoisomerases isolated from Staphylococcus aureus was studied. Synthesized compounds were found as non-genotoxic.

Abstract
Isonicotinamide derivatives, linked to an arylpiperazine moiety, were prepared and their affinity to 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors were evaluated. The combination of structural elements (heterocyclic nucleus, alkyl chain and 4-substituted piperazine) known to play critical roles in affinity for serotoninergic receptors and the proper selection of substituents led to compounds with high specificity and affinity towards serotoninergic receptors. In binding studies, several molecules showed high affinity in nanomolar and subnanomolar range at 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors and moderate or no affinity for other relevant receptors (D1, D2, α1 and α2). N-(3-(4-(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)isonicotinamide (4s) with Ki = 0.130 nM, was the most active and selective derivative for the 5-HT1A receptor compared to other serotoninergic, dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors. Compound 4o, instead, showed 5-HT2A affinity values in subnamolar range. Moreover, the compounds having better affinity and selectivity binding profile towards 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors were selected in order to be tested by in vitro and in vivo assays to determine their functional activity.

Abstract
A series of new thiourea derivatives of 1,3-thiazole have been synthesized. All obtained compounds were tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms, including Gram-positive cocci, Gram-negative rods and Candida albicans. Compounds were also tested for their in vitro tuberculostatic activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain, as well as two 'wild' strains isolated from tuberculosis patients. Compounds 3 and 9 showed significant inhibition against Gram-positive cocci (standard strains and hospital strain). The range of MIC values is 2-32 µg/mL. Products 3 and 9 effectively inhibited the biofilm formation of both methicillin-resistant and standard strains of S. epidermidis. The halogen atom, especially at the 3rd position of the phenyl group, is significantly important for this antimicrobial activity. Moreover, all obtained compounds resulted in cytotoxicity and antiviral activity on a large set of DNA and RNA viruses, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other several important human pathogens. Compound 4 showed activity against HIV-1 and Coxsackievirus type B5. Seven compounds resulted in cytotoxicity against MT-4 cells (CC50<10 µM).

Abstract
A set of 13 alkyl derivatives of 3-phenylpiperidine-2,6-dione were synthesized. Newly obtained compounds were investigated in vitro against HIV-1 and other selected viruses. The benzyl 3f and fluorophenyl 3g derivatives showed moderate protection against CVB-2 and the compound 3g also against HSV-1. Derivatives were tested also for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. The molecular structures of 3a and 3d were determined by an X-ray analysis.

Abstract
Fourier-transform (FT)-Raman and FT-infrared spectrum of 4-(3-bromopropyl)-4-azatricyclo [5.2.2.0(2,6)]undecane-3,5,8-trione were recorded and analyzed. The vibrational wavenumbers were examined theoretically using the Gaussian03 set of quantum chemistry codes, and the normal modes were assigned by potential energy distribution (PED) calculations. The first hyperpolarizability, predicted infrared intensities and Raman activities are reported. The calculated first hyperpolarizability is comparable with reported values of similar structures which makes this compound an attractive object for future studies of nonlinear optics. The calculated first hyperpolarizability was found to be very high and it is due to the pi-electron cloud movement from donor to acceptor which makes the molecule highly polarized and the intermolecular charge transfer interaction which is justified by the FT-IR spectrum due to the presence of strong broad bands in the region 2873-2000cm(-1). Optimized geometrical parameters of the compound are in agreement with similar reported structures.

Fourier-transform-Raman and infrared spectrum of 4-azatricyclo [5.2.2.0(2,6)] undecane-3,5,8-trione were recorded and analyzed. The vibrational wavenumbers were examined theoretically using the Gaussian03 set of quantum chemistry codes, and the normal modes were assigned by potential energy distribution (PED) calculations. The first hyperpolarizability, predicted infrared intensities and Raman activities are reported. The calculated first hyperpolarizability is comparable with reported values of similar structures which makes this compound an attractive object for future studies of nonlinear optics. Optimized geometrical parameters of the compound are in agreement with similar reported structures. The red shift of the NH stretching wavenumber in the infrared spectrum from the computational wavenumber indicates the weakening of NH bond.
