Vibrational spectroscopic interpretation, solvent effect and molecular docking studies of TAAR1 partial agonist RO5263397

Abstract

Density functional theory studies of TAAR1 (trace amine associated receptor 1) partial agonist RO5263397 carried out with precise and detailed spectroscopic investigation as well as validated experimentally. FT-IR, confocal Raman and UV–visible spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the compound and corresponding theoretical calculations were carried out using DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. Estimated and observed vibrational wavenumbers of the compound were assigned. UV–visible spectrum and FMOs (frontier molecular orbital) analysis reveals that the polarity affects the molecular reactivity and stability of the compound. Donor – acceptor interaction and second order perturbation energy have been explained using natural bond orbital analysis clarify the presence hydrogen bonds in the system. ELF and LOL studies visualises the localized and delocalized electrons in the title compound. RDG analysis evidences the various interactions present in the monomer and dimer of RO5263397. The structural importance of the compound were clearly examined using NMR spectral analysis. The existence of hydrogen bonding is validated by reactive site findings from Mulliken atomic charge distribution and molecule electrostatic potential surface studies. Information about distinct drug-receptor interactions obtained from molecular docking investigation offers the path of further study of molecular activity in various drug-receptor mechanism.
