Accelerated Stability Assessment of Extemporaneously Compounded Amiloride Nasal Spray.

Amiloride is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved diuretic agent used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure.

The effects of conformation and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the structure and IR spectra of flutamide; a study based on the matrix isolation technique, ab initio and DFT calculations.

In this study, stable conformers of flutamide referred to as an anticancer drug were searched through a relaxed potential energy surface scan carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. This was followed by geometry optimization and thermochemistry calculations performed with the HF-SCF, MP2, B3LYP methods and the 6-31G(d), 6-311++G(d,p), aug-cc-pvTZ basis sets for each of the determined minimum energy conformers. The results revealed that flutamide has at least five stable conformers and two of them provide the major contribution to the observed matrix isolation infrared (IR) spectra of the molecule.
