Multispectral and Molecular Docking Studies Reveal Potential Effectiveness of Antidepressant Fluoxetine by Forming π-Acceptor Complexes. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27185883. [PMID: 36144618 PMCID: PMC9505585 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27185883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Poor mood, lack of pleasure, reduced focus, remorse, unpleasant thoughts, and sleep difficulties are all symptoms of depression. The only approved treatment for children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) is fluoxetine hydrochloride (FXN), a serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor antidepressant. MDD is the most common cause of disability worldwide. In the present research, picric acid (PA); dinitrobenzene; p-nitro benzoic acid; 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide; 2,6-dibromoquinone-4-chloroimide; and 7,7′,8,8′-tetracyanoquinodimethane were used to make 1:1 FXN charge-transfer compounds in solid and liquid forms. The isolated complexes were then characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, infrared, Raman, and 1H-NMR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. Additionally, a molecular docking investigation was conducted on the donor moiety using FXN alone and the resulting charge transfer complex [(FXN)(PA)] as an acceptor to examine the interactions against two protein receptors (serotonin or dopamine). Interestingly, the [(FXN)(PA)] complex binds to both serotonin and dopamine more effectively than the FXN drug alone. Furthermore, [(FXN)(PA)]–serotonin had a greater binding energy than [FXN]–serotonin. Theoretical data were also generated by density functional theory simulations, which aided the molecular geometry investigation and could be beneficial to researchers in the future.

Preparation, spectroscopic, characterizations and biological studies of new charge transfer complexes formed between fluconazole drug with various acceptors. Bioorg Chem 2021; 115:105190. [PMID: 34371376 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Charge transfer complexes developed during the interaction of Fluconazole drug (FLU) as an electron donor with different types of electron acceptors, including σ-type as iodine (I2), and π-types as 2,3-dinitrosalsylic acid (HDNS), Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The formed complexes were characterized using various techniques as UV-Vis spectra, Thermal analyses, spectrophotometric measurements, 1H NMR and FTIR Spectroscopy. It was found that the stoichiometry of all developed complexes was a 1:1 M ratio between fluconazole and acceptors (I2, HDNS, TCNE and DDQ). The characteristic physical parameters data such as ionization potential (ID), The oscillator strength (ƒ), formation constant (KCT), transition dipole moment (μ), free energy (ΔG), and energy of interaction (ECT) of the formed CT-complexes have also been reported. Eventually, the synthesized complexes were screened for their microbial and antioxidant activities.
