A Theoretical Study of the Relationships between Electronic Structure and Inhibitory Effects of Caffeine Derivatives on Neoplastic Transformation
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
A DFT study of the relationships between electronic structure and inhibitory effects of caffeine derivatives on neoplastic transformation was carried out. We obtain one statistically significant equation (R=0.97, R²= 0.94, adjusted R²= 0.92, F(7,34) =71.40 (p<0.00001), SD=0.14), relating the variation of the biological activity with the variation of the values of a definite set of local atomic reactivity indices. Based on the analysis of the results, a partial pharmacophore was built that can be employed as a tool for the development of more active molecules. Calculations have been performed by DFT/B3LYP method in the 6-31G orbital basis set.

Study on the Application of Beckmann Rearrangement in the Synthesis of Amides from Oximes
In order to prepare amides under moderate and environment-friendly conditions using Beckmann rearrangement, we replaced traditional liquid-acid catalysts with Nafion perfluorinated sulphonic acid resins. We used diphenyl...

A Comparative Study of Two Different Media Effect on the Electropolymerization of 2-(9-ethylcarbazol-3-yliminomethyl)phenol by Cyclic Voltammetry, Impedance Spectroscopy, XPS, UV-visible Measurements and DFT Calculation
A carbazole-based monomer, 2-(9-ethylcarbazol-3-yliminomethyl)phenol (SIC), was first synthesized and characterized. It was afterward polymerized by potentiostatic methods. Oxidative polymerization of SIC was carried out...
Conductometric Study of the Interaction of Insecticide Profenofos with Cationic and Anionic Surfactants in Aqueous Medium
This work aims is to find means to improve the solubility of the not very water soluble organic pollutants. For that, we made a study of solubilization of a not very water soluble organophosphorus insecticide, and in wea...
