AB  - The present study describes representative examples of supramolecular arrangement of 5-phenylhydantoins achieved through various N–H⋯O hydrogen-bonding patterns. Four derivatives, 5-ethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)hydantoin (1) and three 5-methyl-5-(3- or 4-substituted phenyl)hydantoins (2–4), were synthesized by the Bucherer–Bergs reaction and their crystal structures were determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. A racemate, racemic hydrate and conglomerate as outcomes of crystallization from racemic solutions were found here. The crystal structures were firstly subjected to Hirshfeld surfaces analysis. The development of hydrogen bonding driven two-dimensional assemblies such as tapes, ribbons and sheets was further analysed using DFT calculations in terms of contribution of dimeric motifs as building blocks, which are associated with the presence of intermolecular interactions. To explore qualitative correlations between intermolecular interactions determining the crystal structures of the investigated compounds and those underlying their biological activity, we performed a docking study on the neuronal voltage gated sodium channels, matrix metalloproteinase 12 and aldose reductase. The supramolecular profiles of the investigated compounds are also maintained in biological systems and as such are responsible for differences in their biological activities.

AB  - Non-covalent interactions have a significant role in supramolecular crystal packingsof the molecules. Halogen interactions provide weak but highly directed control of thepacking of molecules in the solid state. Introduction of F atom can leads to significantdifferences in 2D or 3D structures [1], higher structural stability of biomolecules [2] orimprove drug design [3]. In order to examine the substitution effect of H atom with Fatom, two hydantoin derivatives were synthesized and structurally characterized:C15H16N2O3 (1) i C15H15N2O3F (2) (Figure).Crystallographic analysis of 1 and 2 showed thatNH…O and CH…O hydrogen bonds are the most numerousin their crystal packings. Due to fluoridation in 2, the number of interactions among cyclohexyl (Ch) and phenyl ring(Ph) rings (CH…π interactions), as well as among two Phrings (π-π interactions) is increased. Quantum-chemicalcalculations on the model systems presented by dimmersof hydantoin derivatives and isolated cyclic compounds,verified that fluoridation caused the formation of strongerCH…π and π-π interactions. The F atom in 2 is involved inthree CH…F and one F…F interactions, which is in agreement with the results from the Cambridge Structural Database, which have shown that CH…F and F…F interactionsare the most numerous, and their strength reaches the valueof 2 kcal∙mol–1.Crystallographic data: 1, P–1, a = 6.3079(13),b = 10.573(2), c = 11.415(2) Å, α = 67.21(3), β = 78.84(3),γ = 76.16(3)°, R1 = 6.06%; 2, P–1, a = 5.9981(12),b = 11.148(2), c = 12.073(2) Å, α = 108.98(3), β = 101.57(3), γ = 105.27(3)°, R1 = 4.82%.

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).

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  - 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.

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  - This study represents an integrated approach towards understanding the vibrational, electronic, NMR, and structural aspects, and reactivity of 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-phenyl-succinimide (CPPS). A detailed interpretation of the FT-IR, UV and NMR spectra were reported. The equilibrium geometry, bonding features, and harmonic vibrational frequencies have been investigated with the help of density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method using 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The scaled theoretical wave-number showed very good agreement with the experimental values. The H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the molecule were calculated by the Gauge-Invariant Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method. Stability of the molecule, arising from hyperconjugative interactions and charge delocalization, has been analyzed using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis. The results show that ED in the sigma* and pi* antibonding orbitals and second order delocalization energies E(2) confirm the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) within the molecule. UV-Vis spectrum of the compound was recorded and the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, were calculated by Time-Dependent (TD-DFT) approach. To estimate chemical reactivity of the molecule, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface map is calculated for the optimized geometry of the molecule.

AB  - Two new series of hydantoin derivatives, 3-(4-substituted benzyl)-5,5-diphenyl- and 3-(4-substituted benzyl)-5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoins, were synthesized and their antiproliferative activity was tested against human colon cancer HCT-116 and breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The presence of different substituents on both hydantoin and benzyl moieties changed the antiproliferative activity of the investigated hydantoins, whereby most of the compounds showed superior antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 than against the HCT-116 cell line. The structure of three compounds was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The general structural characteristic is the presence of N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds in crystal packings. The molecular geometry and bonding features of the investigated hydantoins in the ground states were calculated using the density functional method. The relationship between structure and antiproliferative activity was discussed. The data presented in this investigation afford guidelines for the preparation of new hydantoin derivatives with greater antiproliferative activity.

AB  - Two series of 1-aryl-3-phenyl- and 1-aryl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones were synthesized and their solvatochromic properties were studied in a set of 15 solvents of different polarity. The effect of specific and non-specific solvent-solute interactions on the position of their absorption bands was evaluated by using the solvent parameter sets of Kamlet and Taft. The interpretation of the effect of different substituent patterns on the solvatochromic properties of the investigated compounds was based on quantum chemical calculations performed by the density functional theory (DFT)/CAM-B3LYP method using the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The theoretical absorption frequencies show very good agreement with the experimental values. The energy gaps between the HOMO and LUMO orbitals were also analyzed. It is demonstrated that different substituents change the conjugation effect and further determine the pathways of intramolecular charge transfer.

AB  - Background: A series of some novel arylazo pyridone dyes was synthesized from the corresponding diazonium salt and 6-hydroxy-4-phenyl-3-cyano-2-pyridone using a classical reaction for the synthesis of the azo compounds. Results: The structure of the dyes was confirmed by UV-vis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. The solvatochromic behavior of the dyes was evaluated with respect to their visible absorption properties in various solvents. Conclusions: The azo-hydrazone tautomeric equilibration was found to depend on the substituents as well as on the solvent. The geometry data of the investigated dyes were obtained using DFT quantum-chemical calculations. The obtained calculational results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.

AB  - A new procedure for the synthesis of known azo pyridone dyes is presented. A series of 5-(substituted arylazo)-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-cyano-2-pyridones were prepared from ethyl 3-oxo-2-(substituted phenylazo)butanoates and cyanoacetamide in acetone using potassium hydroxide as a catalyst by simple refluxing the reaction mixture. The structure of these dyes was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

AB  - A series of some new pyridone arylazo dyes was synthesized from the corresponding diazonium salts and 3-cyano-4,6-diphenyl-2-pyridone using the classical reaction for the synthesis of the azo compounds. The structures of these dyes were confirmed by UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopic techniques. The solvatochromism of the dyes was evaluated with respect to visible absorption properties in various solvents. The effects of solvent dipolarity/polarizability and solvent/solute hydrogen bonding interactions were analyzed by means of the linear solvation energy relationship concept proposed by Kamlet and Taft. The 2-pyridone/2-hydroxypiridine tautomeric equilibration was found to depend on the substituents as well as on the solvents.
AB  - Serija novih piridonskih arilazo boja je sintetisana reakcijom odgovarajućih diazonijum soli i 3-cijano-4,6-difenil-2-piridona primenom klasične sinteze azo jedinjenja. Struktura sintetisanih boja je potvrđena na osnovu podataka dobijenih iz UV, FT-IR i 1H-NMR spektara. Solvatohromna svojstva boja su procenjena u odnosu na njihovu apsorpciju u vidljivom delu spektra u različitim rastvračima. Efekti rastvarača, dipolarnost/polarizabilnost i vodonične interakcije rastvarač/rastvorak, su analizirane primenom linearne korelacije solvatohromnih efekata predložene od strane Kamlet-a i Taft-a. Tautomerna ravnoteža 2-piridon/2-hidroksipiridin zavisi kako od efekata supstituenta tako i od uticaja rastvarača.

AB  - The C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the C2 carbon atom in the heteroaromatic nuclei of seventeen 5-(3- and 4-substituted arylazo)-4,6-dimethyl-3-cyano-2-pyridones were determined in deuterated DMSO solution. For quantitative assessment of the substituent effects on the C-13 NMR chemical shifts simple and extended Hammett equations and Swain-Lupton equation were used. The mode of transmission of substituent effects have been discussed in a relation to the geometry of investigated molecules. The geometry data were obtained using semiempirical MNDO-PM6 energy calculations. The observed C-13 NMR substituent chemical shifts were correlated with literature C-13 NMR data for the corresponding 3- and 4-substituted- 2',6'-dimethylazobenzenes and 3- and 4-substituted azobenzenes. A good linear dependence obtained in this way, provided a basis to discuss the influence of the ortho-methyl groups on the degree of coplanarity of azobenzene and pyridone systems, and on the efficiency of transmission of electronic substituent effect from one ring to the other one.
