Abstract
Structural analysis of dexrazoxane, as a cardioprotective agent, was done in this work by exploring formations of tautomeric conformations and investigating the corresponding effects. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to optimize the structures to evaluate their molecular and atomic descriptors. In addition to the original structure of dexrazoxane, eight tautomers were obtained with lower stability than the original compound. Movements of two hydrogen atoms in between nitrogen and oxygen atoms of heterocyclic ring put such significant effects. Moreover, electronic molecular orbital features showed effects of such tautomerism processes on distribution patterns and surfaces, in which evaluating the quadrupole coupling constants helped to show the role of atomic sites for resulting the features. As a consequence, the results indicated that the tautomeric formations could significantly change the features of dexrazoxane reminding the importance of carful medication of this drug for patients.
