Molecular Structures, Vibrational Spectra, Electronic Properties, and Molecular Docking of Two Pyrazoline Derivatives Containing 1-Carboxamide and 1-Carbothioamide: A Comparative Study.

Pyrazolines derivatives are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, which exhibit the broad spectrum of biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and anti-inflammatory. The optimized geometry, frequency, and intensity of vibrational bands of these compounds are obtained by the density function theory (DFT) using 6–31+G(d,p) basis set. The scaled harmonic vibrational frequencies have been compared with experimental Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) values and found to be in good agreement. The electronic properties of these molecules are discussed with the help of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) surfaces, and a number of electronic and thermodynamic parameters are calculated, which are closely related to their chemical reactivity and reaction path. We also notice that pyrazoline derivatives show biological activity for preventing dyskinesia. This study may provide a further investigation on pyrazolines derivatives for pharmacological importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
