Abstract

The title molecule (N-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutyryl)b-alanine), DDBBA and its derivatives were selected for theoretical investigations viz geometry optimization, ADME profiling, binding affinity using quantum-mechanical calculations and modelling simulation tools. Geometry optimization by Gaussian 09 program revealed the stability and electrophilic nature of the investigated molecules. In order to depict the charge density distributions that may be related to biological activity, the contour maps of HOMO-LUMO as well as the associated chemical descriptors such as chemical potential (µ), electronegativity (χ), electrophilicity (ω), hardness (η) and softness (σ) were explored. Utilizing molecular docking, the antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer activities was examined. The docked molecules showed strong propensity for binding to 2HQ6 cancer protein active sites. Vit B5-CH=CF2 and VitB5-CCl3 showed lowest binding energies (-5.861 and -5.478 kcal/mol) and low inhibition constant values (1.43 M). Studies on the (NBO) natural bond orbital, the Mulliken population, and the Fukui function were all analyzed. Further, the interactions between the derivatives and other molecules were studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
