Crystal structures of N-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-2-[(4,6-di-amino-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acetamide and N-(3-chloro-phen-yl)-2-[(4,6-di-amino-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acetamide

Quantum chemical insight into molecular structure, NBO analysis of the hydrogen-bonded interactions, spectroscopic (FT-IR, FT-Raman), drug likeness and molecular docking of the novel anti COVID-19 molecule 2-[(4,6-diaminopyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-N-(4-fluorophenyl)acetamide - dimer

Novel antiviral active molecule 2- [(4,6-diaminopyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-N-(4-fluoro- phenyl)acetamide has been synthesised and characterized by FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The equilibrium geometry, natural bond orbital calculations and vibrational assignments have been carried out using density functional B3LYP method with the 6-311G++(d,p) basis set. The complete vibrational assignments for all the vibrational modes have been supported by normal coordinate analysis, force constants and potential energy distributions. A detailed analysis of the intermolecular interactions has been performed based on the Hirshfeld surfaces. Drug likeness has been carried out based on Lipinski's rule and the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity of the title molecule has been calculated. Antiviral potency of 2- [(4,6-diaminopyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-N-(4-fluoro-phenyl) acetamide has been investigated by docking against SARS-CoV-2 protein. The optimized geometry shows near-planarity between the phenyl ring and the pyrimidine ring. Differences in the geometries due to the substitution of the most electronegative fluorine atom and intermolecular contacts due to amino pyrimidine were analyzed. NBO analysis reveals the formation of two strong stable hydrogen bonded N-H···N intermolecular interactions and weak intramolecular interactions C-H···O and N-H···O. The Hirshfeld surfaces and consequently the 2D-fingerprint confirm the nature of intermolecular interactions and their quantitative contributions towards the crystal packing. The red shift in N-H stretching frequency exposed from IR substantiate the formation of N-H···N intermolecular hydrogen bond. Drug likeness and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties analysis gives an idea about the pharmacokinetic properties of the title molecule. The binding energy -8.7 kcal/mol of the nonbonding interaction present a clear view that 2- [(4,6-diaminopyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-N-(4-fluoro- phenyl) acetamide can irreversibly interact with SARS-CoV-2 protease.

Crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of 2-[(4,6-di-amino-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfan-yl]-N-(pyridin-2-yl)acetamide and 2-[(4,6-di-amino-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfan-yl]-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide

In the title compounds, C11H12N6OS (I) and C10H11N7OS (II), the di-amino-pyrimidine ring makes dihedral angles of 71.10 (9)° with the pyridine ring in (I) and 62.93 (15)° with the pyrazine ring in (II). The ethanamine group, -CH2-C(=O)-NH- lies in the plane of the pyridine and pyrazine rings in compounds (I) and (II), respectively. In both compounds, there is an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(7) ring motif and a short C-H⋯O inter-action forming an S(6) loop. In the crystals of both compounds, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with R22(8) ring motifs. In (I), the dimers are linked by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (1[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]). The layers are linked by offset π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.777 (1) Å], forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. In (II), the dimers are linked by N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, also forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
