Chemical reactivities and molecular docking studies of parthenolide with the main protease of HEP-G2 and SARS-CoV-2.

We have used bioinformatics to identify drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, using drugs already being tested for the treatment as benchmarks like Remdesivir and Chloroquine. Our findings provide further support for drugs that are already being explored as therapeutic agents for the treatment of COVID-19 and identify promising new targets that merit further investigation. In addition, the epoxidation of Parthenolide using peracids, has been scrutinized within the MEDT at the B3LYP/6-311(d,p) computational level.

Synthesis of 4-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-3-(4-methyl-phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-one and 4-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-3-(4-methyl-phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5(4H)-thione and solvent effects on their infrared spectra in organic solvents.

In the present study novel 4-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-3-(4-methyl-phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-one (compound (4)) and 4-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-3-(4-methyl-phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5(4H)-thione (compound (5)) were synthesized. These oxadiazole ring derivatives were characterized by IR, H NMR, C NMR and HRMS analyses. The solvent effects on CO, CN and CS stretching vibrational frequencies (ν(CO), ν(CN) and ν(CS)) of synthesized compounds were investigated experimentally using attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spectroscopy and compared with the theoretical results assigned using the potential energy distribution (PED) contributions.

Divulging the various chemical reactivity of trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene as well as methyl-4-vinyl-benzene in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions.

In the present paper, an investigation about the [3 + 2]cycloaddition (32 C A) reactions of benzonitrile oxide with 1-trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene, and with 1-methyl-4-vinyl-benzene, using the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) through DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p), is performed. A deep mechanistic study beside an accurate electronic description of different stationary points along the IRC paths of the two 32 C A reactions have performed by examining the two competitive regioisomericortho/metareaction pathways, and providing the mechanism associated with them. The presence of the CF group reduces the activation energy, which makes it possible to increase the experimental yield of the reaction in good agreement with the experimental results.

Molecular structures, spectroscopic (FT-IR, NMR, UV) studies, NBO analysis and NLO properties for tautomeric forms of 1,3-dimethyl-5-(phenylazo)-6-aminouracil by density functional method.

The equilibrium geometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV-Vis analysis, and vibrational frequencies for the azo and hydrazone isomers of 1,3-dimethyl-5-(phenylazo)-6-aminouracil have been performed using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311G(d,p) basis set. A detailed interpretation of the vibrational spectra has been made on the basis of the calculated potential energy distribution (PED) obtained from the Vibrational Energy Distribution Analysis (VEDA4) program. The H NMR chemical shifts with respect to TMS were calculated by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with the experimental data.

Theoretical and vibrational studies of 4,5-diphenyl-2-2 oxazole propionic acid (oxaprozin).

The molecular structure, linear and nonlinear optical properties, and electronic properties of 4,5-diphenyl-2-2 oxazole propionic acid (oxaprozin) as a monomer were investigated by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations that used 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The first-order hyperpolarizability of oxaprozin (OXA) was found to be 1.117 x 10(-30) esu.
