Synthesis, Characterizations, and Quantum Chemical Investigations on Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-Schiff Base Derivative: (E)-2-Phenyl-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3-amine

In this study, (E)-2-phenyl-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3-amine (3) is synthesized, and detailed spectral characterizations using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were performed. The optimized geometry was computed using the density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The theoretical FT-IR and NMR (1H and 13C) analysis are agreed to validate the structural assignment made for (3). Frontier molecular orbitals, molecular electrostatic potential, Mulliken atomic charge, electron localization function, localized orbital locator, natural bond orbital, nonlinear optical, Fukui functions, and quantum theory of atoms in molecules analyses are undertaken and meticulously interpreted, providing profound insights into the molecular nature and behaviors. In addition, ADMET and drug-likeness studies were carried out and investigated. Furthermore, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations have been studied, indicating that this is an ideal molecule to develop as a potential vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor.

Exploration of spectroscopic, computational, fluorescence turn-off mechanism, molecular docking and in silico studies of pyridine derivative

The present work reports pyridine-based chalones using spectroscopic techniques to use pyridine derivative analysis. The solvatochromic behavior of 3DPP in non-polar, polar protic and aprotic solvents has been investigated experimentally. The photophysical property of the compound in diverse solvents is attributed to the intra-molecular charge transfer interactions. The dipole moment of 3DPP is estimated theoretically and experimentally using various solvatochromic methods. It is observed that there is a bathochromic shift in the emission spectra of 3DPP, which confirms the π → π* transition. Fluorescence quenching of 3DPP is studied. The type of fluorescence quenching mechanism is found to be collisional quenching. A study of FRET theory on 3DPP was carried out with metal ions. There is a considerable energy transfer between 3DPP and metal ions. NLO behaviors of the compound have been revealed with the help of Kurtz-Perry powder technique. Additionally, the title molecule is docked, carried ADMET studies and drug-like activity using in silico tools. It is probed for antifungal activity through bioinformatics kit which showed potential information.
