Molecular structural analysis, conformers and spectral (FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Visible), Importance of solvent role in molecular, ADME and molecular docking investigation on alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid

Abstract

The primary objective of research to reveals the effective drug treatment for corona virus disease (COVID-19). The current study on alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (ACHC), the theoretical predictions were done by using Gaussian 09 W software on the basis of DFT/ TDFT/B3LYP methods with basis set of 6–311++G (d, p). The vibrational wavenumbers were obtained from the observed FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and these vibrations were assigned on the basis of their potential energy distribution (PED) contribution. 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift of the molecule were computed by using Gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. In UV-Visible analysis the electronic transition was predicted by Time-dependent self-consistent field (TD-SCF)/DFT method. NBO analysis was done to understand the possible the intermolecular interaction, electron transition within the donor and acceptor orbitals of the molecule. The HOMO and LUMO indicates the prominent charge transfer possibilities and its energy gap shows stability of the molecule. A molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) image shows the electrophilic and nucleophilic sites of the molecule. Molecular docking analysis was carried out against Agaricus bisporus tyrosinase (2Y9X) and severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (6LZG).
