Synthesis, spectroscopy, solvation effect, topology and molecular docking studies on 2,2′-((1,2 phenylenebis (azaneylylidene)) bis (methaneylylidene)) bis(4-bromophenol)

Abstract

The 2,2′-((1,2 phenylenebis (azaneylylidene)) bis (methaneylylidene)) bis(4-bromophenol) (5BSOP) Schiff base was synthesized, characterized using different spectroscopic techniques, and the data are compared with predictions from DFT computations. The calculated energy values are -8.65 eV (HOMO) and -6.66 eV (LUMO), and the energy gap was found to be 1.99 eV. The reactive atom sites in the chemical are identified by MEP analysis. The locations of localized and delocalized orbitals are revealed through ELF and LOL surface maps. The sites of non-covalent interactions are exposed by RDG and NCI analysis. The possible inter and intra-molecular interactions were determined by NBO analysis and the highest stabilization energy observed was 40.07 kcal/mol. Biological performance as a HMGCS2 expression enhancer was predicted by Pass online studies. Molecular docking simulation with protein 706I having HMGCS2 expression inhibition characteristics revealed a stable receptor-ligand interaction pose at a binding energy of -4.74 kcal/mol. The interaction of the Phe61 amino acid chain of 706I with 5BSOP through conventional H-bond expressed a bond distance of 3.24 Å.
