Antioxidant Properties of Lapachol and Its Derivatives and Their Ability to Chelate Iron (II) Cation: DFT and QTAIM Studies.

ABSTRACT: The elucidation of the complexation of lapachol and its derivatives to Fe2+ cation has been done using the density functional theory (DFT). This complexation has been limited to bidentate and tridentate to Fe2+ cation. Geometry optimizations have been implemented in gas and solution phase (water, acetonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzene, and toluene) for ligands at B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) optimized data as starting point. But, the geometrical optimizations in solution phase of the 22 complexes analyzed of lapachol and its derivatives to Fe2+ cation were restricted to acetonitrile and benzene. The complexation energy and the metal ion affinity (MIA) have also been calculated using the B3LYP method. The results obtained indicated a proportionality between the MIA values and the retained charge on Fe2+ cation for k 2-(O1,O2) modes. But, an inverse proportionality has been yielded between these two parameters for k 3-(O2, C=C) tridentate modes. For k3-(O3,C=C) tridentate mode coordination, the higher stability has been obtained. In this latter tridentate coordination in gas phase, the topological analysis of complexes exhibits the fact that the electron density is concentrated between the O3 oxygen atom of the ligand attached to Fe2+ and this metal cation. Moreover, the hydrogen bond strength calculated for isolated ligands (situated between 23.92 and 30.15?kJ/mol) is in the range of normal HBs. Collectively, all the complexation processes have shown to be highly exothermic. Our results have also shown that the electron extraction from Fe 2+ ...La i complexes is more difficult compared to that from free ligands.

Project description:The anandamide is a relevant ligand due to its capacity of interacting with several proteins, including the T-type calcium channels, which play an important role in neuropathic pain and depression disorders. Hence, a detailed characterization of the chemical properties and conformational stability of anandamide may provide valuable information to understand its behavior in a biological context. Herein, conceptual DFT and QTAIM analyses were performed to theoretically characterize the chemical reactivity properties and the structural stability of conformations of anandamide, using the BP86/cc-pVTZ level of theory. Global reactivity description, based on conceptual DFT, indicates that the hardness increases and the electrophilicity index decreases for both, the hairpin and U-shape conformers relative to the extended conformers. Also, an increase in the chemical potential value and a decrease in the electronegativity and the electrophilicity index is observed in the ethanolamide open ring conformers in comparison with the corresponding closed ring structures. In addition, regarding the characterization of local reactivity descriptors, the maximum values of the Fukui and Parr functions indicate that the most probable location for a nucleophilic attack is either the hydroxyl oxygen located in the ethanolamide closed ring conformers or the carbonyl oxygen present in the open ring conformers. The most probable location for an electrophilic attack is in the alkyl double bond region in all anandamide conformers. According to the QTAIM results, the intramolecular hydrogen bond formation stabilizing the structure of anandamide has interaction energy values for the closed ring conformations of 12.33-12.46 kcal mol-1, indicating a strong interaction. Lastly, molecular docking calculations determined that a region in the pore, denominate as pore-blocking, is a probable site for the interaction of anandamide with the human Cav3.2 isoform of the T-type calcium channel family. The pore-blocking site contains hydrophobic residues where the non-polar part in the final alkyl region of anandamide established mainly alkyl-alkyl interactions, while the polar part (the ethanolamide group) interacts with the polar residue S900. The information based on conceptual DFT presented may aid in the design of drugs with similar chemical characteristics as those identified in anandamide so as to bind anandamide-interacting proteins, including the T-type calcium channels.
