Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) is one of the most powerful techniques to assess the stereochemistry of chiral molecules in solution state. The need for quantum chemical calculations to interpret experimental data, however, has precluded its widespread use by non-experts. Herein, we propose the search and validation of IR and VCD spectral markers to circumvent the requirement of DFT calculations allowing for absolute configuration assignments even in complex mixtures. To that end, a combination of visual inspection and machine learning based methods is used. Monoterpene mixtures are selected for this proof-of-concept study.

Abstract
The combination of computational methods and experimental data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a considerably valuable tool in the elucidation of new natural product structures and, also, in the structural revision of previously reported compounds. Until recently, only classical statistical parameters were used, for example, linear correlation coefficient (R2 ), mean absolute error (MAE), or root mean square deviation (RMSD), as a way to statistically "validate" the structure pointed out by experimental NMR spectra. Regarding the resolution of the relative configuration of organic molecules, novel tools were available in the last few years to assist in the NMR elucidation process. The most relevant are DP4+, which is based on a Bayesian probability, and ANN-PRA, which is based on artificial neural networks. The combined application of these tools has become the most accurate and important alternative to solve structural and stereochemical problems in natural product chemistry. Therefore, herein, in this case study, we intended to promote these novel tools, exploring the strengths and limitations of each approach in resolving the relative configuration of the sesquiterpene alpha-bisabol. We also highlighted the advantages of the complementary use of H- and C-DP4+ to obtain optimal results in the differentiation of the stereoisomers, validating the proposal with ANN-PRA method.

Abstract
Recently, structural elucidation of natural products has undergone a revolution. The combined use of different modern spectroscopic methods has allowed obtaining a complete structural assignment of natural products using small amounts of sample. However, despite the extraordinary ongoing advances in spectroscopy, the mischaracterization of natural products has been and remains a recurrent problem, especially when the substance presents several stereogenic centers. The misinterpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data has resulted in frequent reports addressing structural reassignment. In this context, a great effort has been devoted to developing quantum chemical calculations that simulate NMR parameters accurately, allowing to achieve a more precise spectral interpretation. In this work, we employed a protocol for theoretical calculations of 1 H NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants using density functional theory (DFT), followed by the application of the DP4+ method to revisit the structure of Heliannuol L, a member of the Heliannuol class, isolated from Helianthus annuus. Our results indicate that the originally proposed structure of Heliannuol L needs a stereochemical reassignment, placing the hydroxyl bonded to C10 in the opposite side of the methyl and hydroxyl groups bonded to C7 and C8, respectively.

Abstract
A primary goal of metabolomics studies is to fully characterize the small-molecule composition of complex biological and environmental samples. However, despite advances in analytical technologies over the past two decades, the majority of small molecules in complex samples are not readily identifiable due to the immense structural and chemical diversity present within the metabolome. Current gold-standard identification methods rely on reference libraries built using authentic chemical materials ("standards"), which are not available for most molecules. Computational quantum chemistry methods, which can be used to calculate chemical properties that are then measured by analytical platforms, offer an alternative route for building reference libraries, i.e., in silico libraries for "standards-free" identification. In this review, we cover the major roadblocks currently facing metabolomics and discuss applications where quantum chemistry calculations offer a solution. Several successful examples for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ion mobility spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry methods are reviewed. Finally, we consider current best practices, sources of error, and provide an outlook for quantum chemistry calculations in metabolomics studies. We expect this review will inspire researchers in the field of small-molecule identification to accelerate adoption of in silico methods for generation of reference libraries and to add quantum chemistry calculations as another tool at their disposal to characterize complex samples.

New Techniques of Structure Elucidation for Sesquiterpenes. PROGRESS IN THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC NATURAL PRODUCTS 2021; 114:253-311.

Abstract
The most significant new techniques that have been used in the twenty-first century for the structure elucidation of sesquiterpenes and some derivatives are reviewed in this chapter. A distinctive feature of these methodologies is the combination of accurate experimental measurements with theoretical data obtained by molecular modeling calculations that allow to visualize, understand, and quantify many structural characteristics. This has been the case for NMR spectroscopy, which has expanded its potential for solving complex structural problems by means of comparison with quantum mechanical molecular models. Ab initio and density functional theory calculations of chemical shifts, coupling constants, and residual chemical shift anisotropies have played important roles in the solution of many structures of sesquiterpenes. The assignments of their absolute configurations by evaluation of calculated and experimental chiroptical properties as electronic and vibrational circular dichroism are also reviewed. This chapter also includes the use of X-ray diffraction analysis with emphasis on calculations of the Flack and Hooft parameters, which are applicable to all molecules that crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups. The accurate molecular models of sesquiterpenes, validated by concordance with their experimental properties, are nowadays essential for the interpretation of the effects of these natural products on biological systems.

Abstract
Although demonstrated in 1975, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) finally started to popularize during this century as a reliable tool to determine the absolute configuration (AC) of organic molecules. This research field continues to be a very dynamic one, in particular for the study of natural products which are a unlimited source of chiral molecules. It therefore turns of interest to summarize the accomplishments published in recent years and to comment on some eventual difficulties that emerged in rare cases to complete the AC determination task. Therefore the aim of this review is to update VCD results for the AC assignment of natural products published from 2015 to 2019, a period in which VCD was reported in some 126 publications involving almost 300 molecules. They are organized according the type of studied metabolite allowing an easily search. The molecules correspond to 28 monoterpenes concerning 17 papers, to 42 sesquiterpenes in 14 papers, to 51 diterpenes in 19 publications, to 5 other terpenoids in three papers, to 48 aromatic molecules in 15 reports, to 20 polyketides in 10 publications, to 27 miscellaneous formulas also in 10 papers, and to 76 nitrogen containing compounds, which include alkaloids and their synthetic analogs, in 38 articles. The landscape of reviewed molecules is quite wide as it goes from simple monoterpenes, like borneol or camphor, to very relevant biological molecules like the alkaloid cocaine or tadalafil samples to distinguish genuine and counterfeit Cialis®. In addition, 5 natural products and a simple derivative published outside the reviewed period, were used to illustrate some aspects of density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
The molecular structures of three parthenolide analogues, (-)-goyazensolide (1), (-)-15-deoxygoyazensolide (2), and (-)-ereglomerulide (3), isolated from the leaves of Piptocoma rufescens in a previous study were determined by X-ray analysis, and the absolute configuration of (-)-goyazensolide (1) was confirmed crystallographically using Cu Kα radiation at low temperature. Compounds 1-3, (+)-rufesolide A (4), and commercial parthenolide were found to be growth inhibitory toward MOLM-13 and EOL-1 human acute myeloid leukemia cells using PKC412 (midostaurin) as the positive control, with 1-3 being more active than parthenolide. Also, compounds 1-4 exhibited synergistic effects when tested with PKC412, but parthenolide did not show this type of activity. At a concentration lower than 2.0 μM, both 1 and 2 induced approximately 50% of the cells to become apoptotic at a late stage of the cell cycle, but no similar apoptotic effects were observed for 3, 4, or parthenolide. Leukemia cell apoptosis was induced by these compounds through the activation of caspase-3 and the inhibition of NF-κB, as indicated by immunoblotting analysis, and compounds 1 and 2 seem to be promising leads for development as potential antileukemic agents.

Abstract
The production and distribution of counterfeit pharmaceuticals present a serious problem worldwide. This is true especially in case of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for treating erectile dysfunction, where consumers often prefer buying them anonymously from unverified sources. In this study, genuine and counterfeit Cialis® 20 mg tablets were analyzed by electronic circular dichroism, vibrational circular dichroism, and infrared spectroscopy. The characteristic spectral patterns were identified by comparison with the spectra of tadalafil standard as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, and its presence was confirmed in all samples. The amount of tadalafil, however, was markedly lower in the case of counterfeit tablet as the observed band intensities were considerably lower. No other significant differences between the genuine and counterfeit tablets were revealed. Ab initio density functional theory calculations provided a detailed description of the stable conformers of tadalafil in a solution and enabled thorough interpretation of the experimental spectra.

Covington CL, Polavarapu PL. CDSpecTech: A single software suite for multiple chiroptical spectroscopic analyses. Chirality 2017; 29:178-192. [PMID: 28403537 DOI: 10.1002/chir.22691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2016] [Revised: 12/15/2016] [Accepted: 12/19/2016] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
The program CDSpecTech was developed to facilitate the analysis of chiroptical spectra, which include the following: vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and corresponding vibrational absorption (VA) spectra; vibrational Raman optical activity (VROA) and corresponding vibrational Raman spectra; electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and corresponding electronic absorption (EA) spectra. In addition, the program allows for generating optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) as the Kramers-Kronig transform of ECD spectra. The simulation of theoretical spectra from transition strengths can be achieved using different bandshape profiles. The experimental and simulated theoretical spectra can be visually compared by displaying them together. A unique feature of CDSpecTech is performing spectral analysis using the ratio spectra; i.e., the dimensionless dissymmetry factor (DF) spectrum, which is the ratio of CD to absorption spectra, and the dimensionless circular intensity difference (CID) spectrum, which is the ratio of VROA to vibrational Raman spectra. The quantitative agreement between experimental and simulated theoretical spectra can also be assessed from the numerical similarity overlap between them. Two different similarity overlap methods are available. The program uses a graphical user interface which allows for ease of use and facilitates the analysis. All these features make CDSpecTech a valuable tool for the analysis of chiroptical spectra. The program is freely available on the World Wide Web.

Abstract
A dichlomethane extract of Anthemis nobilis flower cones showed promising in vitro antiprotozoal activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Leishmania donovani, with IC50 values of 1.43 ± 0.50 and 1.40 ± 0.07 μg/mL, respectively. A comprehensive profiling of the most active fractions afforded 19 sesquiterpene lactones, including 15 germacranolides, two seco-sesquiterpenes, one guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone, and one cadinane acid. Of these, 13 compounds were found to be new natural products. The compounds were characterized by extensive spectroscopic data analysis (1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, circular dichroism) and computational methods, and their in vitro antiprotozoal activity was evaluated. The furanoheliangolide derivative 15 showed high potency and selectivity in vitro against T. b. rhodesiense bloodstream forms (IC50 0.08 ± 0.01 μM; SI 63). In silico calculations were consistent with the drug-like properties of 15.

Abstract
The first natural occurrence in optically active form of the dimeric flavonoid agathisflavone and definition of its axial chirality using chiroptical spectroscopic methods are described. The experimental electronic circular dichroism, electronic dissymmetry factor, optical rotatory dispersion, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and vibrational dissymmetry factor spectra of agathisflavone are presented and analyzed with their corresponding quantum chemical predictions to definitively assign the axial chirality of (-)-agathisflavone as (aS).

Abstract
Chiroptical spectroscopy has emerged as a promising tool for the determination of absolute configurations and predominant conformations of chiral molecules in academic laboratories. This promise has led to the adaption of chiroptical spectroscopic methods as valuable tools in chiral drug discovery research programs of the pharmaceutical industry. Most major pharmaceutical companies have invested in in-house chiroptical spectroscopy applications and reported successful outcomes. In the context of continuously increasing applications of chiroptical spectroscopy for chiral molecular structure determination, a review of recent developments and applications for chiral drugs is presented in this manuscript.
