Quantum Mechanical Calculations, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, Molecular Docking, ADME and Toxicology Studies of the Ethyl 4-chloro-2-[(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazono]-3-oxobutrate Compound

Abstract

The theoretical chemical activity parameters of the compound Ethyl 4-chloro-2-[(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazono]-3-oxobutrate, which had previously been synthesized and crystallographically studied, were determined using Density Functional Theory (DFT). With Hirshfeld surface analysis, the effects of molecular interactions on the surface were defined with surface maps and the percentage contribution of the interactions of atoms with each other was determined. In addition, second-order nonlinear optical properties (NLO) and thermodynamic parameters were examined at temperatures between 100 and 1000 K. In addition, molecular docking study was carried out by downloading structure of a B-DNA dodecamer (PDB ID: 1BNA) from PDB (Protein Data Bank). ADME and toxicology properties were examined using the complex, in-silico method and it was discussed whether it had drug properties.
