The Crystal Structure and Intermolecular Interactions in Fenamic Acids-Acridine Complexes.

ABSTRACT: In order to improve pharmaceutical properties of drugs, complexes are synthesized as combinations with other chemical substances. The complexes of fenamic acid and its derivatives, such as mefenamic-, tolfenamic- and flufenamic acid, with acridine were obtained and the X-ray structures were discussed. Formation of the crystals is determined by the presence of the intermolecular O-H…N hydrogen bond that occur between fenamic acids and acridine. Intermolecular interactions stabilizing the crystals such as π…π stacking, C-H…X (X = O, Cl) intermolecular hydrogen bonds as well as C-H…π and other dispersive interactions were analyzed by theoretical methods: the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interaction (NCI) approaches.

Decomposition of Intermolecular Interactions in the Crystal Structure of Some Diacetyl Platinum(II) Complexes: Combined Hirshfeld, AIM, and NBO Analyses.

Project description:Intermolecular interactions play a vital role in crystal structures. Therefore, we conducted a topological study, using Hirshfeld surfaces and atom in molecules (AIM) analysis, to decompose and analyze, respectively, the different intermolecular interactions in six hydrazone-diacetyl platinum(II) complexes. Using AIM and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, we determined the type, nature, and strength of the interactions. All the studied complexes contain C-H⋯O interactions, and the presence of bond critical points along the intermolecular paths underlines their significance. The electron densities (ρ(r)) at the bond critical points (0.0031-0.0156 e/a₀³) fall within the typical range for H-bonding interactions. Also, the positive values of the Laplacian of the electron density (∇²ρ(r)) revealed the depletion of electronic charge on the interatomic path, another characteristic feature of closed-shell interactions. The ratios of the absolute potential energy density to the kinetic energy density (|V(r)|/G(r)) and ρ(r) are highest for the O2⋯H15-N3 interaction in [Pt(COMe)₂(2-pyCMe=NNH₂)] (1); hence, this interaction has the highest covalent character of all the O⋯H intermolecular interactions. Interestingly, in [Pt(COMe)₂(H₂NN=CMe-CMe=NNH₂)] (3), there are significant N-H⋯Pt interactions. Using the NBO method, the second-order interaction energies, E(2), of these interactions range from 3.894 to 4.061 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the hybrid Pt orbitals involved in these interactions are comprised of dxy, dxz, and s atomic orbitals.

Crystal Clear: Decoding Isocyanide Intermolecular Interactions through Crystallography.

Project description:The isocyanide group is the chameleon among the functional groups in organic chemistry. Unlike other multiatom functional groups, where the electrophilic and nucleophilic moieties are typically separated, isocyanides combine both functionalities in the terminal carbon. This unique feature can be rationalized using the frontier orbital concept and has significant implications for its intermolecular interactions and the reactivity of the functional group. In this study, we perform a Cambridge Crystallographic Database-supported analysis of isocyanide intramolecular interactions to investigate the intramolecular interactions of isocyanides in the solid state, excluding isocyanide-metal complexes. We discuss examples of different interaction classes, including the isocyanide as a hydrogen bond acceptor (RNC···HX), halogen bonding (RNC···X), and interactions involving the isocyanide and carbon atoms (RNC···C). The latter interaction serves as an intriguing illustration of a Bürgi-Dunitz trajectory and represents a crucial experimental detail in the well-known multicomponent reactions such as the Ugi- and Passerini-type mechanisms. Understanding the spectrum of intramolecular interactions that isocyanides can undergo holds significant implications in fields such as medicinal chemistry, materials science, and asymmetric catalysis.

Intermolecular Interactions in Crystal Structures of Imatinib-Containing Compounds.

Project description:Imatinib, one of the most used therapeutic agents to treat leukemia, is an inhibitor that specifically blocks the activity of tyrosine kinases. The molecule of imatinib is flexible and contains several functional groups able to take part in H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Analysis of molecular conformations for this drug was carried out using density functional theory calculations of rotation potentials along single bonds and by analyzing crystal structures of imatinib-containing compounds taken from the Cambridge Structural Database and the Protein Data Bank. Rotation along the N-C bond in the region of the amide group was found to be the reason for two relatively stable molecular conformations, an extended and a folded one. The role of various types of intermolecular interactions in stabilization of the particular molecular conformation was studied in terms of (i) the likelihood of H-bond formation, and (ii) their contribution to the Voronoi molecular surface. It is shown that experimentally observed hydrogen bonds are in accord with the likelihood of their formation. The number of H-bonds in ligand-receptor complexes surpasses that in imatinib salts due to the large number of donors and acceptors of H-bonding within the binding pocket of tyrosine kinases. Contribution of hydrophilic intermolecular interactions to the Voronoi molecular surface is similar for both conformations, while π...π stacking is more typical for the folded conformation of imatinib.

Mimicking Intermolecular Interactions of Tight Protein-Protein Complexes for Small-Molecule Antagonists.

Project description:Tight protein-protein interactions (Kd <100 nm) that occur over a large binding interface (>1000 Å2 ) are highly challenging to disrupt with small molecules. Historically, the design of small molecules to inhibit protein-protein interactions has focused on mimicking the position of interface protein ligand side chains. Here, we explore mimicry of the pairwise intermolecular interactions of the native protein ligand with residues of the protein receptor to enrich commercial libraries for small-molecule inhibitors of tight protein-protein interactions. We use the high-affinity interaction (Kd =1 nm) between the urokinase receptor (uPAR) and its ligand urokinase (uPA) to test our methods. We introduce three methods for rank-ordering small molecules docked to uPAR: 1) a new fingerprint approach that represents uPA's pairwise interaction energies with uPAR residues; 2) a pharmacophore approach to identify small molecules that mimic the position of uPA interface residues; and 3) a combined fingerprint and pharmacophore approach. Our work led to small molecules with novel chemotypes that inhibited a tight uPAR⋅uPA protein-protein interaction with single-digit micromolar IC50 values. We also report the extensive work that identified several of the hits as either lacking stability, thiol reactive, or redox active. This work suggests that mimicking the binding profile of the native ligand and the position of interface residues can be an effective strategy to enrich commercial libraries for small-molecule inhibitors of tight protein-protein interactions.

New polymorphic phase of arachidic acid crystal: structure, intermolecular interactions, low-temperature stability and Raman spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations.

Project description:Saturated monocarboxylic fatty acids with long carbon chains are organic compounds widely used in several applied fields, such as energy production, thermal energy storage, antibactericidal, antimicrobial, among others. In this research, a new polymorphic phase of arachidic acid (AA) crystal was synthesized and its structural and vibrational properties were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarized Raman scattering. The new structure of AA was solved at two different temperature conditions (100 and 300 K). XRD analysis indicated that this polymorph belongs to the monoclinic space group P21/c (C2h5), with four molecules per unit cell (Z = 4). All molecules in the crystal lattice adopt a gauche configuration, exhibiting a R22(8) hydrogen bond pattern. Consequently, this new polymorphic phase, labeled as B form, is a polytype belonging to the monoclinic symmetry, i.e., Bm form. Complementarily, Hirshfeld's surfaces were employed to analyze the intermolecular interactions within the crystal lattice of this polymorph at temperatures of 100 and 300 K. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to assign all intramolecular vibration modes related to experimental Raman-active bands, which were properly calculated using a dimer model, considering a pair of AA molecules in the gauche configuration, according to the solved-crystal structure.

Exploring weak intermolecular interactions in thiocyanate-bonded Zn(ii) and Cd(ii) complexes with methylimidazole: crystal structures, Hirshfeld surface analysis and luminescence properties.

Project description:Four new thiocyanate-Zn(ii) and -Cd(ii) complexes with 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) and 2-methylimidazole (2-MeIm), namely, Zn(1-MeIm)2(SCN)2 (1), Zn(2-MeIm)2(SCN)2 (2), Cd(1-MeIm)4(SCN)2 (3) and polymeric [Cd(2-MeIm)2(SCN)2] n (4), have been synthesized and characterized by IR, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The thermal behavior for all complexes was evaluated by thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. The crystal structures of complexes 1-4 were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. A study of intermolecular interactions in the solid state compounds revealed that molecules are linked by weak N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and also by C-H⋯π interaction in the case of structures 2-4, which are responsible for the formation and stability of the molecular assemblies. Hirshfeld surfaces and 2D-fingerprint plots allowed us to visualize the intermolecular contacts and their relative contributions to the total surface for each compound. A comparative analysis against similar halogen-bonded complexes was carried out to investigate the tendency of inter-molecular interactions to form contacts in crystals by using the enrichment ratio descriptor. The emission spectra of the free imidazole derivatives and their Zn(ii) and Cd(ii) complexes were recorded in acetonitrile solutions. The emissions observed in the spectra of complexes were ascribed to the intra-ligand transitions and ligand-to-metal charge transfer and we have observed an interesting correlation between the fluorescence intensities and C-H⋯π interactions.

Structure and Intermolecular Interactions between L-Type Straight Flagellar Filaments.

Project description:Bacterial mobility is powered by rotation of helical flagellar filaments driven by rotary motors. Flagellin isolated from the Salmonella Typhimurium SJW1660 strain, which differs by a point mutation from the wild-type strain, assembles into straight filaments in which flagellin monomers are arranged in a left-handed helix. Using small-angle x-ray scattering and osmotic stress methods, we investigated the structure of SJW1660 flagellar filaments as well as the intermolecular forces that govern their assembly into dense hexagonal bundles. The scattering data were fitted to models, which took into account the atomic structure of the flagellin subunits. The analysis revealed the exact helical arrangement and the super-helical twist of the flagellin subunits within the filaments. Under osmotic stress, the filaments formed two-dimensional hexagonal bundles. Monte Carlo simulations and continuum theories were used to analyze the scattering data from hexagonal arrays, revealing how the bundle bulk modulus and the deflection length of filaments in the bundles depend on the applied osmotic stress. Scattering data from aligned flagellar bundles confirmed the theoretically predicated structure-factor scattering peak line shape. Quantitative analysis of the measured equation of state of the bundles revealed the contributions of electrostatic, hydration, and elastic interactions to the intermolecular forces associated with bundling of straight semi-flexible flagellar filaments.

Structure and intermolecular interactions in spheroidal high-density lipoprotein subpopulations.

Project description:Human serum high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are a population of small, dense protein-lipid aggregates that are crucial for intravascular lipid trafficking and are protective against cardiovascular disease. The spheroidal HDL subfraction can be separated by size and density into five major subpopulations with distinct molecular compositions and unique biological functionalities: HDL3c, HDL3b, HDL3a, HDL2a and HDL2b. Representative molecular models of these five subpopulations were developed and characterised for the first time in the presence of multiple copies of its primary protein component apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Each HDL model exhibited size, morphological and compositional profiles consistent with experimental observables. With increasing particle size the separation of core and surface molecules became progressively more defined, resulting in enhanced core lipid mixing, reduced core lipid exposure at the surface, and the formation of an interstitial region between core and surface molecules in HDL2b. Cholesterol molecules tended to localise around the central helix-5 of apoA-I, whilst triglyceride molecules predominantly interacted with aromatic, hydrophobic residues located within the terminal helix-10 across all subpopulation models. The three intermediate HDL models exhibited similar surface profiles despite having distinct molecular compositions. ApoA-I in trefoil, quatrefoil and pentafoil arrangements across the surface of HDL particles exhibited significant warping and twisting, but largely retained intermolecular contacts between adjacent apoA-I chains. Representative HDL subpopulations differed in particle size, morphology, intermolecular interaction profiles and lipid and protein dynamics. These findings reveal how different HDL subpopulations might exhibit distinct functional associations depending on particle size, form and composition.

Aromatic Amino Acids-Guanidinium Complexes through Cation-π Interactions.

Project description:Continuing with our interest in the guanidinium group and the different interactions than can establish, we have carried out a theoretical study of the complexes formed by this cation and the aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, histidine, tryptophan and tyrosine) using DFT methods and PCM-water solvation. Both hydrogen bonds and cation-π interactions have been found upon complexation. These interactions have been characterized by means of the analysis of the molecular electron density using the Atoms-in-Molecules approach as well as the orbital interactions using the Natural Bond Orbital methodology. Finally, the effect that the cation-π and hydrogen bond interactions exert on the aromaticity of the corresponding amino acids has been evaluated by calculating the theoretical NICS values, finding that the aromatic character was not heavily modified upon complexation.
