Spectroscopic (FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV–vis), quantum calculation, molecular structure, solvent interaction, ADME and molecular docking investigation on 4-oxo-4h-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid

Abstract

The present work, spectroscopic and quantum computational study has been carried out for the molecule 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid. The stable conformer of the title molecule was identified using Potential Energy Surface (PES) scan. The structural and geometrical parameters of the stable conformer of the molecule were determined by Density Functional Theory (DFT) using B3LYP method along with the basis set 6-311++G(d,p) through Gaussian 09 W software. The theoretical and experimental investigations such as Vibrational (FT-IR and FT-Raman), UV–visible and NMR analysis were done. The FT-IR were recorded in the region of (4000–400 cm−1) and FT-Raman in the region of (4000–100 cm−1), and the vibrational bands were compared with the theoretical values. Carbon NMR and Proton NMR spectra have been analyzed in DMSO solution. The theoretical chemical shift values were determined using Gauge Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method. The intermolecular and intra-molecular bonding of orbitals and transfer of charge were studied using the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis. The respective transitional study was done through UV–vis's spectra and theoretical values predicted using TD-DFT (Time Dependent – DFT) method for both gas and solvent (ethanol) state. HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) – LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) energy gap results prove the exchange of charges inside the molecule. Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) is used to identify the nucleophilic and electrophilic sites of the molecule. To check the bioactive nature of the title molecule the drug-likeness was determined. Molecular docking is used to analyze the biological activity of the title molecule. The distribution of torsional angles in a protein structure is viewed by the Ramachandran plots of the molecules.
