AB  - In this work, the electrooxidation ability of nine pyridones was evaluated using cyclic
(CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) in Britton–Robinson (BR) aqueous buffer solutions on a
glassy carbon electrode (GC). The dependence of electrochemical activity on pyridone structure was
elucidated by means of experimentally obtained spectra and quantum chemical calculations. Firstly, it
was shown that electrochemical activity is determined by the –OH group as a substituent in position
6 of the pyridone ring. By coupling the experimentally obtained UV-Vis spectra and DFT calculations,
the most stable forms, both protonated and deprotonated, were defined. The calculated values are
consistent with the electrochemical behavior observed, indicating that the deprotonated anionic form
was the most electrochemically active. Moreover, the impact of the substituent in position 3 of the
pyridone scaffold was discussed

AB  - Five novel D-π-A structured pyridinium based compounds, bearing different electron-donating units were synthesized, minutely characterized, and their solvatochromic and electronic properties were investigated. Subsequently, these compounds were added to a liquid electrolyte in order to enhance the photovoltaic performance of the N719-sensitized solar cell. It was demonstrated that the utilization of all compounds improved the conversion efficiency, compared to the reference solar cell comprised of plain liquid electrolyte. The photovoltaic performance of the fabricated DSSC depended of the electron-donating moiety of the synthesized compound. The highest photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 4.11% was obtained for DSSC with the compound bearing the 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl group.

AB  - In order to improve the performance of theoretical UV–Vis spectra predictions, a theoretical and experimental study of solvatochromic properties of ten azo pyridone dyes has been performed. For quantitative estimation of intermolecular solvent–solute interactions, a concept of the linear solvation energy relationships has been applied using Kamlet-Taft and Catalán models. Theoretical UV–Vis spectra for all dyes have been calculated using four TD-DFT methods in nine different solvents with the aim to define the most reliable model. Finally, new polylinear equations for more accurate theoretical prediction of UV–Vis maxima are developed using empirical Kamlet-Taft and Catalán solvent parameters as additive corrections for specific and nonspecific solvent–solute interactions.

AB  - Seven novel azo dyes with 2-pyridone and dihydropyrimidinone moieties have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The azo-hydrazone tautomerism 		has been investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches. The optimizations of geometries have been performed with density functional theory (DFT). 		The vibrational and NMR spectra were calculated and correlated with experimental ones. Furthermore, quantum chemical descriptors were calculated and MEP 		maps were plotted to determine biological reactivity of dyes. The antioxidant assay evinced that 5, 6 and 7 are promising antioxidant candidates. In vitro 			cytotoxic activity was studied against three malignant cell lines: prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3), lung carcinoma (A549) and chronic myelogenous leukemia 			(K562), as well as against human normal lung fibroblasts (MRC-5), using MTT assay. Examination of cytotoxic effects on human cancer cell lines showed the 		concentration dependent cytotoxicity of all investigated compounds. The K562 cells were the most sensitive to the cytotoxicity of the compounds 3, 5 and 6, 		wherein compound 5 was particularly prominent and selective in cytotoxic action between K562 (24.97 μM) and PC-3 (48.98 μM) cancer cells, and normal 			MRC-5 (91.11 μM) cells. Moreover, the cell cycle analysis of compound 5 was examined in K562 cells, by flow cytometry, to study its mechanism 				of anticancer action. Finally, in silico evaluation of physicochemical parameters, druglikeness and ADME properties showed that investigated compounds are 		orally bioavailable with no permeation to the blood brain barrier.

AB  - Two pyridone derivatives, bearing the pyridinium moiety (1), or dimethylpyridinium moiety (2), have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined. The compounds crystalize in hydrated zwitterionic forms with either two (1•2H2O) or four (2•4H2O) water molecules. The zwitterionic networks contain different types of water clusters, generated into channels, incorporating them into the network by sandwiching. The type of channel depends on the crystal lattice and the nature of non-covalent interactions established between zwitterions as well as the number of water molecules incorporated into the architecture. 1 affords tubes filled in with water channels formed by water tetramers, contrary to 2, which affords a layered network altering the zwitterionic layer and the layer formed by water tetramers and hexamers. A detailed study of intermolecular interactions of both crystal structures and a quantification of interaction energies has been performed using PIXEL lattice energy calculations, giving an insight to a quantitative evaluation of interactions through Coulombic, disperse, repulsion and polarization energies. The strongest pairwise, in both structures, is found to be a dipole–dipole interaction between oppositely charged heterocyclic rings. The differences in the crystal packings of these hydrates have been elucidated by the fingerplot analysis. The comparative studies between experimental and calculated (DFT) data of molecules 1•H2O and 2•4H2O for systems of different complexity are performed. Furthermore, correlations of experimental and calculated bond lengths and the simulation of compound solvation with the CPCM model are done.

The type of channel depends on the crystal lattice and the nature of non-covalent interactions established between zwitterions as well as the number of water molecules incorporated into the architecture. 1 affords tubes filled in with water channels formed by water tetramers, contrary to 2, which affords a layered network altering the zwitterionic layer and the layer formed by water tetramers and hexamers. A detailed study of intermolecular interactions of both crystal structures and a quantification of interaction energies has been performed using PIXEL lattice energy calculations, giving an insight to a quantitative evaluation of interactions through Coulombic, disperse, repulsion and polarization energies. The strongest pairwise, in both structures, is found to be a dipole–dipole interaction between oppositely charged heterocyclic rings. The differences in the crystal packings of these hydrates have been elucidated by the fingerplot analysis. The comparative studies between experimental and calculated (DFT) data of molecules 1•H2O and 2•4H2O for systems of different complexity are performed. Furthermore, correlations of experimental and calculated bond lengths and the simulation of compound solvation with the CPCM model are done.

AB  - Patients with triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs)—highly aggressive tumors that do not express estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptors—have limited treatment options. Fewer than 30% of women with metastatic TNBC survive five years after their diagnosis, with a mortality rate within three months after a recurrence of 75%. Although TNBCs show a higher response to platinum therapy compared to other breast cancers, drug resistance remains a major obstacle; thus, platinum drugs with novel mechanisms are urgently needed. Arsenoplatins (APs) represent a novel class of anticancer agents designed to contain the pharmacophores of the two FDA approved drugs cisplatin and arsenic trioxide (As2O3) as one molecular entity. Here, we present the syntheses, crystal structures, DFT calculations, and antiproliferative activity of iodide analogs of AP-1 and AP-2, i.e., AP-5 and AP-4, respectively. Antiproliferative studies in TNBC cell lines reveal that all AP family members are more potent than cisplatin and As2O3 alone. DFT calculations demonstrate there is a low energy barrier for hydrolysis of the platinum-halide bonds in arsenoplatins, possibly contributing to their higher cytotoxicities compared to cisplatin.

AB  - A series of nine 5-(4-substituted phenylazo)-3-amido-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones were synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis, and PL spectroscopy. Photophysical properties of the dyes were examined in solvents of various polarities and at different pH values. The solvent effects on the absorbance and emission spectral shift were analyzed using Lippert–Mataga, Reichardt–Dimroth and Kamlet-Taft equations. Moreover, UV–Vis absorption and emission frequencies were correlated with Hammett substituent constants applying the linear free energy relationships. DFT calculations of the investigated dyes were accomplished to determine their structural and electronic properties.

AB  - Two series of cycloalkanespiro-5-hydantoins, namely cyclohexanespiro-5-hydantoins and cycloheptanespiro-5-hydantoins with a 4-substituted benzyl or a 2-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-oxoethyl group at N3 position, were synthesized and their effects on proliferation of human colon (HCT-116), leukemia (K562) and breast (MDA-MB-231) cancer cell lines were tested. For comparison, we also described the 5,5-diphenylhydantoin analogues. The structural features of the investigated compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Regarding their structure–activity relationships, it was shown that the substitution on the benzyl moiety with the methoxy, chloro or bromo group potentiated the antiproliferative activity relative to the parent compounds, while an increase in the size of the cycloalkyl group resulted mostly in a decrease of the antiproliferative activity. The single crystal X-ray analysis revealed the existence of dimers and chains formed by the N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The analysis of the molecular descriptors of Lipinski demonstrated that all investigated compounds obeyed the rule of five. To further understand their geometry and electronic structure, DFT calculations with B3LYP method using 6-311++G(d,p) basic set were performed. In this context, the UV–Vis spectra of the investigated compounds were analyzed in detail, whereby the predicted absorption spectra from DFT calculation matched the experimentally obtained ones, with a good correlation. The interesting physico-chemical and pharmacologically relevant properties of the investigated compounds warrant their further investigation.

AB  - In the present study, twelve new 1-aryl-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones were synthesized and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In the final step of synthetic rout, condensation between corresponding succinic acid and substituted anilines has been improved using the microwave irradiation. Significantly higher yields compared to conventional condensation have been observed. The preliminary biological results indicated that some of the synthesized compounds showed promising in vitro antifungal activities towards several test fungi. 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8) exhibited significant in vitro inhibitory activities against broad spectra of fungus, and on the basis of obtained data, the investigated bromo derivative has to be observed as novel potential fungicide. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed in order to study the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the investigated molecules. In order to prediction of the chemical activity of the molecule, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map was analyzed for the optimized geometry of 1-phenyl-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (4) and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8).

abstract = "In the present study, twelve new 1-aryl-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones were synthesized and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In the final step of synthetic rout, condensation between corresponding succinic acid and substituted anilines has been improved using the microwave irradiation. Significantly higher yields compared to conventional condensation have been observed. The preliminary biological results indicated that some of the synthesized compounds showed promising in vitro antifungal activities towards several test fungi. 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8) exhibited significant in vitro inhibitory activities against broad spectra of fungus, and on the basis of obtained data, the investigated bromo derivative has to be observed as novel potential fungicide. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed in order to study the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the investigated molecules. In order to prediction of the chemical activity of the molecule, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map was analyzed for the optimized geometry of 1-phenyl-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (4) and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-ethyl-3-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8).",

AB  - Two series of cycloalkanespiro-5-hydantoins, namely cyclohexanespiro-5-hydantoins and cycloheptanespiro-5-hydantoins with a 4-substituted benzyl or a 2-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-oxoethyl group at N3 position, were synthesized and their effects on proliferation of human colon (HCT-116), leukemia (K562) and breast (MDA-MB-231) cancer cell lines were tested. For comparison, we also described the 5,5-diphenylhydantoin analogues. The structural features of the investigated compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Regarding their structure–activity relationships, it was shown that the substitution on the benzyl moiety with the methoxy, chloro or bromo group potentiated the antiproliferative activity relative to the parent compounds, while an increase in the size of the cycloalkyl group resulted mostly in a decrease of the antiproliferative activity. The single crystal X-ray analysis revealed the existence of dimers and chains formed by the N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The analysis of the molecular descriptors of Lipinski demonstrated that all investigated compounds obeyed the rule of five. To further understand their geometry and electronic structure, DFT calculations with B3LYP method using 6-311++G(d,p) basic set were performed. In this context, the UV–Vis spectra of the investigated compounds were analyzed in detail, whereby the predicted absorption spectra from DFT calculation matched the experimentally obtained ones, with a good correlation. The interesting physico-chemical and pharmacologically relevant properties of the investigated compounds warrant their further investigation.

AB  - Novel succinimide derivatives were synthesized from 3-methyl-3-phenylsuccinic acid and substituted anilines under solvent-free conditions by using microwave irradiation. All obtained compounds were characterized by ultraviolet (UV), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H and 13С nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as well as by elemental analysis. The influence of the substituent electronic effects on spectroscopic data was analyzed by applying the Hammett equation. Moreover, a detailed interpretation and comparison of experimentally obtained and theoretically calculated FT-IR, UV and NMR spectra was performed. Density functional theory (DFT) calculated data of the investigated succinimides were obtained and analyzed in order to determine their structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties. Furthermore, ADMET factor profiling and in-silico prediction of potential biological activities of novel succinimide derivatives have been performed.

AB  - pKa values of five β-hydroxy-β-arylalkanoic acids and ibuprofen were determined using the RP-HPLC method. Stationary phase was octadecyl modified (C-18) silica gel, and mobile phase was a mixture of methanol and one of nine different buffers (60:40, v/v). wspH values were measured after mixing methanol with an appropriate buffer. The mean retention time of each compound was plotted against wspH of each mobile phase. The inflection point of each sigmoidal curve represented wspK a of the compound. Using wspK a in already known equations for the specific methanol/buffer mixture, wwpK a values were calculated. Obtained pKa values for synthesized compounds were in a narrow range from 3.34-3.81 and pKa for ibuprofen was 4.45. Predicted pKa values for these compounds in SPARC software showed good correlation with experimental pKa values (R2=0.8048).

AB  - A series of succinimide derivatives were studied using the cyclic and square wave voltammetry. Density function theory was used in order to determinate which of the structural parameters influence the electrochemical activity. The quantum chemical calculations of the investigated succinimides were linked with the experimental electrochemical data and used to propose the oxidation mechanism. The most active among studied succinimides is 1,3-diphenylsuccinimide. The results obtained from the cyclic and square wave voltammetry and quantum chemical calculations indicate that the investigated compounds undergo oxidation by irreversible, diffusion controlled process including transfer of 1e(-) and 1 proton. The voltammetric and DFT results signify that the mechanism of electrochemical oxidation of all compounds involve the conversion of carbonyl-methyne-phenyl segment or methylene group in free radical. This conversion proceeds by the loss of one proton one electron process.

AB  - Ten 5-(substituted phenylazo)-3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones were studied (five new compounds) to provide insight into the electronic effects of diverse substituents located at different positions in their phenyl moieties. The structural features of these dyes were examined by combining experimental and theoretical approaches. The crystal structures of two derivatives were revealed by X-ray crystallography and diverse packing modes owing to different intermolecular interactions (- stacking and lone pair- interactions, as well as hydrogen bonds) were found. A study on lattice energy and energy related to the molecular pairs obtained from their crystal packing was performed. The tautomerism and ionisation of the dyes in ethanol or N,N -dimethylformamide solution were rationalised in terms of diazo component substitution pattern.

AB  - Disazo pyridone dye, 4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-5-(2-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl)hydrazono)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile, is synthesised and thoroughly characterised by a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Fourier Transform-infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra prove the existence of the hydrazone form in the solid state and in dimethyl sulphoxide, which is also supported by vibrational and NMR theoretical studies. Ultraviolet (UV) spectral properties, as well as solvatochromism in 19 solvents of different polarity, are investigated. In most of the solvents, the dye is solely present in the hydrazone form, whereas in certain solvents, an acid–base equilibrium exists. Excellent agreement between computational and experimental UV–visible data was established. Frontier Molecular Orbital analysis was performed and proved the existence of intramolecular charge transfer through the dye molecule. A molecular electrostatic potential surface was plotted over the optimised geometry to lighten the reactivity of the investigated molecule.

AB  - In this paper, spectroscopic and quantum mechanical investigation of nine 4-aryl-5-arylazo-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-2-pyridone dyes was performed, and obtained density functional theory (DFT) results were compared with experimental data. The structural and spectroscopic properties of azo-2-pyridone dyes were studied by DFT using B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, and M06-2X methods with a 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Comparison of results reveals that the scaled theoretical vibrational frequencies of azo dyes are in good agreement with experimental data. The time-dependent DFT calculated and experimental ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra are also in good agreement. The effect of electron-donating -OCH3 and electron-withdrawing -NO2 groups on the structural parameters, vibrational frequencies, UV-vis absorption, and natural bond orbital (NBO) atomic charges were thoroughly analysed. Vibrational, UV-vis, and NBO analyses confirm that investigated dyes exist in the hydrazo tautomeric form in the solid state and ethanol solution. These analyses signify the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer in these azo-pyridone dyes.

AB  - A series of ten 1-aryl-3-methylsuccinimides was synthesized and their solvatochromic properties were studied in a set of fifteen binary solvent mixtures. The solute-solvent interactions were analyzed on the basis of the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) concept proposed by Kamlet and Taft. The electronic effect of the substituents on the UV-Vis absorption and NMR spectra was analyzed using the simple Hammett equation. Moreover, the B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, and M06-2X functionals using the 6-311G(d,p) basic set have been assessed in light of the position of experimental absorption maxima obtained for these compounds. The integration grid effects have also been evaluated. An interpretation of the substituent-effect transmission through the molecular skeleton and the nature of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals based on quantum-chemical calculations is given. The values of partial atomic charges from the atomic polar tenzors (APT), natural population analysis (NBO), and charges fit to the electrostatic potential using the B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, and M06-2X methods are produced and correlated with different experimental properties. In order to estimate the chemical activity of the molecule, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface map is calculated for the optimized geometry of 1-phenyl-3-methylsuccinimide.

AB  - The structure-property relationship of newly synthesized 3-(4-substituted benzyl)-1,3-diazaspiro [4.4] nonane-2,4-diones was studied by experimental and calculated methods. The prepared compounds were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The crystal structure was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 3-benzy1-1,3-diazaspiro[4.41nonane-2,4-dione crystallizes in triclinic P-1 space group, with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Cyclopentane ring adopts an envelope conformation. A three-dimensional crystal packing is governed by hydrogen N-H center dot center dot center dot O bonds, numerous C-H center dot center dot center dot O/N and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions between neighboring molecules. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with B3LYP and M06-2X methods using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set were performed to provide structural and spectroscopic information. Comparisons between experimental and calculated UV-Vis spectral properties suggest that the monomeric form of the investigated spirohydantoins is dominant in all used solvents. The effects of substituents on the absorption spectra of spirohydantoins are interpreted by correlation of absorption frequencies with Hammett equation. The lipophilicities of the investigated molecules were estimated by calculation of their log P values. Some of the spirohydantoins synthesized in this work, exhibit the lipophilicities comparable to the standard medicine anticonvulsant drug Phenytoin. The results obtained in this investigation afford guidelines for the preparation of new derivatives of spirohydantoin as potential anticonvulsant agents and for better understanding the structure-activity relationship.

AB  - A series of cycloalkane-5-spirohydantoins bearing a halogeno substituted benzyl group (X = Cl and Br) in position 3 has been synthesized and their structures (1-6) have been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction method. These compounds have multiple functional groups, which allow greater competition and/ or cooperation among the different intermolecular interactions in the formation of their crystal structures. The molecules are linked together by paired N-H... O hydrogen bonds in R22(8) rings, while the CH. O interactions lead to their further association into double chains. The contribution of the cycloalkyl ring depends on its conformational flexibility and the multiple C-H donor implications. In the case of compounds 1-4 bearing the cyclopentyl or the cyclohexyl ring, halogen bonding (X...O) interactions give rise to a supramolecular pseudo-hexagonal network. In addition, the C-H... X interactions with a higher degree of multifurcation at the halogen acceptor have an important role in the formation of the crystal structure. Regarding compounds 5 and 6 with the cycloheptane ring, the X. O interaction is absent, and along with the C-H. X interactions, these compounds realize an alternative crystal structure with an emphasis on the X. p interactions. The lattice energies of all these crystal structures, as well as the intermolecular pair energies, have been calculated using PIXEL and further partitioned into coulombic, dispersive, polarization and repulsive factors. The crystal structures have also been subjected to Hirshfeld surface analysis which reveals that approximately 75% of the close contacts correspond to relatively weak interactions. The application of both concepts has provided a new insight into the relationship between the molecular interactions and crystal structures of the hydantoin derivatives.

AB  - A series of cycloalkane-5-spirohydantoins bearing a halogeno substituted benzyl group (X = Cl and Br) in position 3 has been synthesized and their structures (1-6) have been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction method. These compounds have multiple functional groups, which allow greater competition and/ or cooperation among the different intermolecular interactions in the formation of their crystal structures. The molecules are linked together by paired N-H... O hydrogen bonds in R22(8) rings, while the CH. O interactions lead to their further association into double chains. The contribution of the cycloalkyl ring depends on its conformational flexibility and the multiple C-H donor implications. In the case of compounds 1-4 bearing the cyclopentyl or the cyclohexyl ring, halogen bonding (X...O) interactions give rise to a supramolecular pseudo-hexagonal network. In addition, the C-H... X interactions with a higher degree of multifurcation at the halogen acceptor have an important role in the formation of the crystal structure. Regarding compounds 5 and 6 with the cycloheptane ring, the X. O interaction is absent, and along with the C-H. X interactions, these compounds realize an alternative crystal structure with an emphasis on the X. p interactions. The lattice energies of all these crystal structures, as well as the intermolecular pair energies, have been calculated using PIXEL and further partitioned into coulombic, dispersive, polarization and repulsive factors. The crystal structures have also been subjected to Hirshfeld surface analysis which reveals that approximately 75% of the close contacts correspond to relatively weak interactions. The application of both concepts has provided a new insight into the relationship between the molecular interactions and crystal structures of the hydantoin derivatives.
