Abstract
The synthesis of two pyrazolone derivative compounds, PYR-I(4-Acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one) and PYR-II1-(4-Chlorophenyl))-3-isopropyl-5-oxo-4,5-5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, their characterization by FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis and GC-MS techniques, and the evaluation of the keto-enol tautomerization process of the structures along with the DFT approach and spectral data were reported in this paper. Spectral findings indicated that PYR-I was stable at the keto state. The IR spectrum recorded in solid form showed that the PYR-II structure was stable in the enol state, while the NMR spectrum in the solution medium showed that it was stable in the keto state. DFT-based analyses were realized with the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The modelled keto, transition and enol state molecular geometries of structures were optimized in the gas phase and different solvent media and the total energy and dipole moment values were investigated at the specified theoretical level. The possible keto-enol tautomerism mechanism of the structures was evaluated through some thermodynamic parameters such as the difference in free Gibbs energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and predictive tautomeric equilibrium constants (Keq), acidity constants (pKa) and percentages of tautomers at 298.15 K and 1 atm pressure. The results of these analyses based on the DFT approach indicated that the keto-enol tautomer equilibrium heavily favours the keto form for PYR-I and the enol form for PYR-II in all cases. Moreover, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed for the tautomers, and the chemical reactivity profiles of the most stable tautomers were examined with the values of frontier molecular orbital energy and some reactivity descriptors.

Formulation and evaluation of a smart drug delivery system of 5-fluorouracil for pH-sensitive chemotherapy. Heliyon 2022; 8:e09926.

Abstract
The conventional chemotherapeutic drugs have many side effects due to their non-selective tissue distribution, reduced drug concentration of the drug at the tumor site, and the drug resistance. To overcome these problems the chemotherapeutic agent should selectively accumulate the tumor site and stays there for a prolonged period of time releasing the payloads in a controlled manner. This can be achieved by the administration of a smart drug delivery system (SDDS) loaded with the active drug molecules. In this work, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is loaded into amine functionalised hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN-NH2) and then coated with a biocompatible polydopamine (PDA) to formulate SSDS for 5-FU for pH-sensitive drug release. The physiochemical properties were characterised; the structural morphology was observed by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, chemical interaction between the drug and excipients were characterised from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the entrapment efficiency of loaded drug and the pH-dependent drug release rate were evaluated using UV-visible spectroscopy. It was observed that, the drug is compatible with excipients by retaining all the characteristics peaks of 5-FU with negligible changes in the position in all physical mixtures. The PDA coated 5-FU loaded HMSN-NH2 also exhibits a nearly spherical and non-aggregated morphology. The release rate was showed to increase with increase in concentration of structure-directing agent (Triton X 100) in the rate of a maximum release at the end of 72 h in pH 4. The prepared novel PDA coated 5-FU HMSN-NH2 was found to be capable of delivering the anti-cancer drug 5-FU specifically at the tumor site in a pH-dependent stimuli-responsive manner. It also showed a controlled release for a period of 72 h. The enhanced cytotoxicity against HeLa cell line were found for the formulated SSD form.

Abstract
Erlotinib and gefitinib are quinazoline derivatives with antineoplastic properties. Usually, intake of antineoplastic agents results in much a greater degree of oxidative stress, i.e. the production of free radicals, than induced by cancer itself. Hence, anticancerous drugs must also exhibit antioxidant activity but this has not been studied thus far. In this study, the antioxidant activity of erlotinib and gefitinib was examined by experimental and computational studies. It was found that erlotinib and gefitinib exhibit good 2,2-dipheny l-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging (HRS) activities. In DPPH assay, the IC50 for erlotinib and gefitinib were 0.584 and 0.696 mM, respectively, while IC50 for HRS assay were 0.843 and 1.03 mM for erlotinib and gefitinib, respectively. Structural characteristics such as frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential maps (MESPs), and global descriptive parameters were calculated at DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) on the optimized geometries of erlotinib and gefitinib. UV-visible spectroscopy revealed the possible electronic transitions between the FMOs and their associated excitation energies of both drugs and found that erlotinib has π to π* transitions while gefitinib has π to π* and σ to π* transitions. To elucidate the antioxidant activity of erlotinib and gefitinib, three mechanisms namely hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer proton transfer (SETPT), and sequential proton-loss electron-transfer (SPLET) were employed and articulated the results in arithmetic parameters like bond dissociation energy (BDE), proton affinity (PA), ionization potential (IP), electron transfer enthalpy (ETE), and proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE). Further, molecular docking studies have been carried out to have a better understanding of binding sites and modes of interaction with a well-known antioxidant target protein monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) employing docking scores and types of interactions. All the calculated parameters point out that though gefitinib and erlotinib were interchangeable, erlotinib requires a lesser amount of energy for proton transfer and electron transfer, moreover it scavenges radicals easily.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerophilic gastric pathogen, responsible for the cause of peptic ulcer around half of the global population. Although several antibiotics and combination therapies have been employed for H. pylori-related gastric ulcer and cancer regiments, identifying potent inhibitors for specific targets of this bacterium will help assessing better treatment periodicity and methods to eradicate H. pylori. Herein, 1,000,000 natural compounds were virtually screened against Helicobacter pylori Peptide deformylase (HpPDF). Pharmacophore hypotheses were created using ligand and receptor-based pharmacophore modeling of GLIDE. Stringent HTVS and IFD docking protocol of GLIDE predicted leads with stable intermolecular bonds and scores. Molecular dynamics simulation of HpPDF was carried out for 100 ns using GROMACS. Hits ZINC00225109 and ZINC44896875 came up with a glide score of -9.967 kcal/mol and -12.114 kcal/mol whereas; reference compound actinonin produced a glide score of -9.730 kcal/mol. Binding energy values of these hits revealed the involvement of significant Van der Waals and Coulomb forces and the deduction of lipophilic forces that portray the deep hydrophobic residues in the S1pocket of H. pylori. The DFT analysis established the electron density-based features of the molecules and observed that the results correlate with intermolecular docking interactions. Analysis of the MD trajectories revealed the crucial residues involved in HpPDF - ligand binding and the conformational changes in the receptor. We have identified and deciphered the crucial features necessary for the potent ligand binding at catalytic site of HpPDF. The resulting ZINC natural compound hits from the study could be further employed for potent drug development.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Glipizide is a N-sulfonylurea compound used in the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, DFT-based computational methods and molecular docking studies have been performed to systematically evaluate the radical scavenger behavior of the title molecule. Structural characteristics such as molecular descriptors, frontier molecular orbitals, molecular potential mapping, and Mulliken charge population have been investigated. Thermodynamic parameters like proton affinity (PA), ionization potential (IP), bond dissociation energy (BDE), electron transfer enthalpy (ETE), and proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE) related to three antiradical mechanisms namely hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), sequential electron transfer proton transfer (SETPT) and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) have been studied. Also, molecular docking studies have been carried out to have a theoretical understanding of the molecular mechanism and for the elucidation of binding mode/modes of a compound targeted through non-covalent interactions. The obtained results are of great significance in better understanding the reaction mechanism of the title molecule and open new perspectives for the design of new potent antioxidant agents.

Abstract
Amlodipine besylate (AMB) is a synthetic dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker with antihypertensive and anti-anginal effects. Quantum computational investigations on AMB were done using DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) level of theory, to study the molecular structural properties, nonlinear properties and antioxidant properties of AMB. The electrophilic and nucleophilic sites along with complete NBO analysis helps to locate the intermolecular electronic interactions and their stabilization energies. Complete NBO analysis was additionally done to locate the intermolecular electronic interactions and their stabilization energies. Charge distributions of Mulliken population, NBO and MEP are correlated. Also, the antioxidant properties of AMB were assessed to check whether these antioxidant effects contribute to the effects of antioxidant therapy. Further, the molecular docking studies of these compounds demonstrated a good selectivity profile with Monoamine oxidase B with better binding affinity and confirms AMB is a potent antioxidant.

Abstract
In this paper, a stable amorphous solid dispersion of an antihypertensive drug, amlodipine besylate (AMB) was prepared by entrapping it in a polymer matrix, polyvinyl pyrrollidone, in different weight ratios (AMB/PVP 05:95, 10:90, 20:80, 30:70). The glass forming ability of all binary dispersions were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry and found good correlation between experimental Tg and Fox Flory's prediction. By considering the daily dosage limit of 5 mg, a weight ratio of 05:95 was further considered for the study. The structures of neat and binary of AMB were characterized by density functional theory, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. Further, detailed molecular dynamics of both pure and binary were investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy to judge the physical stability of the amorphous dispersions. Translation-rotation coupling of AMB possibly explains the dual conductivity and dipolar nature of the secondary relaxation in neat AMB. Thus, the binary dispersion of AMB with commercially acceptable weight ratio with strong glass forming behaviour and better shelf life was prepared and characterized for practical applications.

Abstract
We studied the conductivity relaxation originating from a glass-former composed of cations and anions, and the relation to the structural α-relaxation at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature. The material chosen was amorphous amlodipine besylate (AMB), which is also a pharmaceutical with a complex chemical structure. Measurements were made using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and X-ray diffraction, and the characterization was assisted using density functional theory (DFT). The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the amorphous nature of vitrified AMB. Both the ionic and dipolar aspects of the dynamics of AMB were examined using these measurements and were used to probe the nature of the secondary conductivity and dipolar relaxations and their relation to the conductivity α-relaxation and the structural α-relaxation. The coupling model predictions and quantum mechanical simulations were used side by side to reveal the properties and nature of the secondary conductivity relaxation and the secondary dipolar relaxation. Remarkably, the two secondary relaxations have the same relaxation times, and are one and the same process performing dual roles in conductivity and dipolar relaxations. This is caused by the translation–rotation coupling of the AMB molecule. Thus, AMB has both conductivity α- and β-relaxations, and application of the coupling model shows that these two relaxations are related in the same way as the structural α-relaxation and the Johari–Goldstein β-relaxation are. This important result has an impact on the fundamental understanding of the dynamics of ionic conductivity. We studied the conductivity relaxation originating from a glass-former composed of cations and anions, and the relation to the structural α-relaxation at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature.![]()
