    Notes: In this work, we evaluated structural and electronic similarities between a new class of acylhydrazones, recently presented as effective inhibitors of a Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease, and a series of pyrazole arylacylhydrazones with analgesic and antiaggregating (antithrombotic) properties, using AM1. The calculated results suggest that at least one of the pyrazole compounds is similar enough to the active compounds to be considered as a candidate for a future antimalarial series. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is an autacoid derived from cellular membrane phospholipids in response to chemical or physical stimuli. It has been identified as 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphocholine; the alkyl group is composed of 16 or 18 carbon atoms in human cells. PAF can cause a series of pathophysiological effects, related to inflammatory and allergic diseases such as asthma, gastric ulcerations, transplant rejections, psoriasis, cerebral, renal, and myocardial ischemia. As PAF biological action is a result of interactions with specific receptors on target cells, several specific PAF receptor antagonists have been proposed for therapeutic control of the pathological states in which PAF is implicated. In this work we have calculated at AM1 level 16 conformations of a model (alkyl = octyl) of (R)-PAF. We have used these conformations and calculated structures of two hetrazepines (WEB 2086 and E 6123), FR 128998 and RP 59227, known antagonists of PAF activity currently under development, to test a recently proposed pharmacophore map. Our results suggest that the model is too rigid. Having this in mind, we used the pharmacophore model to evaluate the potential activity of a new series of proposed PAF receptor antagonists based on bicyclo[3.3.0]-2-oxaoctane. The results were used to decide which compounds should receive priority in synthesis. The synthetic results and pharmacological profiles of the new derivatives will be published elsewhere. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The electronic structure and bonding of UF6 and UF6- are studied within a relativistic framework using the MOLFDIR program package. A stronger bonding but more ionic molecule is found if one compares the relativistic with the nonrelativistic results. The first peak in the photoelectron spectrum of Karlsson et al. is assigned to the 12γ8u component of the 4t1u orbital, in agreement with other theoretical and experimental results. Good agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical 5f spectrum UF6-. Some properties, like the dissociation energy and electron affinity, are calculated and the necessity of a fully relativistic framework is shown. The Breit interaction has an effect on the core spinors and the spin-orbit splitting of these spinors but the influence on the valence spectrum is negligible. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Quantum chemical and molecular modeling computations on large molecular systems are defined for the computational facilities assumed to be available from now to the next 4 years. We considered a few topics which are requiring much attention. The correlation energy is discussed in some detail and we have presented two new functionals, called the J-functional and the K-functional, which make use of Coulomb or exchange-type integrals. In addition, we report new computational results for the Coulomb-Hole-Hartree-Fock approximation. Very brief summaries on new developments in relativistic Dirac-Fock computation and in density functional theory, on the advantages gained by using different basis sets in the same computation, and on the promises of parallel computing conclude the article. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The Coulomb-Hole-Hartree-Fock method introduced by E. Clementi in the early 1960s and reparametrized more recently by S. Chakraworty and E. Clementi to compute the correlated electronic energy in atomic systems, is here extended to compute molecules. The new parametrization is obtained empirically by fitting first and second atomic ionization potentials from He to Ca and a few diatomic molecules. The present formulation makes use of either one or more determinants in order to ensure proper dissociation products, following the early proposal of G.C. Lie and E. Clementi in the context of density functional computations for molecular systems. The new formulation is tested against the dissociation energies of a large number of molecules and it is found satisfactory. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effects of atomic and molecular electron correlation and Gaunt interaction on the transition energies between the 5D0 and 7F1,2 levels, arising from the 4f6 state of the europium ion, have been studied for the ion and for the [EuO6]9- cluster as it is found in the Ba2GdNbO6 crystal. The calculations were performed using the MOLFDIR program package. The results are compared to work previously done by Visser et al. in which correlation effects had not been taken into account. The effect of the Gaunt interaction is found to be small. An important contribution to the correlation energy emerges from the configuration represented by the double excitations from 4d to 4f. This in agreement with work performed by Jankowski and Sokolowski on Pr3+. The results are now in better agreement with experiment but are still not satisfactory. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We report quantum chemical semi-empirical calculations of the geometries and the electronic structures (at AM1 and INDO/s levels) of three nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), namely, benoxaprofen, chlorpromazine and piroxicam, and a piroxicam metabolite, that have undesirable phototoxic effects. Our calculated electronic spectra in gas phase and in water fit reasonably well the observed spectral data. The wavelength of the absorption maxima are not significantly affected by changing from gas phase to water (at the SCRF level). We were able to assign the observed bands to the calculated transitions. We found also that the spectrum of the piroxicam metabolite actually responsible for the phototoxicity cannot be understood on the sole basis of one of the tautomers. We hope that these finding will be useful for the understanding of the photochemical events that lead ultimately to the biological effects. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Leukotrienes and thromboxane A 2 are autacoids derived from arachidonic acid (5, 8, 11, 14-icosatretraenoic acid). They are synthesized in cells by 5-lipoxygenase and thromboxane synthase, respectively. Leukotrienes are related to inflammatory and allergic diseases, while thromboxane A2 is a potent platelet aggregating and vasoconstrictor agent involved in cardiovascular pathologies. In this article we have calculated partial potential energy surfaces at the AM1 level for some 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, thromboxane synthase inhibitors, thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists, and a dual blocker which inhibits thromboxane synthase and antagonizes thromboxane A2 receptor. Our objective was to identify stereoelectronic properties and topographical requirements for these compounds that could be related to their biological activities. Based on our results and on molecular mechanisms of pharmacological action, we were able to propose new potential 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors and dual blockers derived from pyrazole, pyrrole, 1, 2, 3-triazole, and 1, 2, 4-triazole. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Three specific model systems, HCo(CO)4, Na · NH3, and NO/Pt(111), are used to extend the strategy of vibrationally mediated photodissociations of organometallics, via small clusters of metal atoms and small molecules, to photodesorption of small molecules from metal surfaces. All systems and strategies are similar with respect to breaking metal-ligand bonds by means of infrared IR and visible or ultraviolet UV photons. Specific properties of the systems call, however, for different implementations of the overall tools. In the case of HCo(CO)4, traditional continuous wave (CW) IR + UV 2-photon excitations enhance the rates of HCo bond homolysis. A detailed analysis discovers three effects which result from Franck-Condon transitions in the domains of vibrationally excited wave functions: (i) ultrafast (≈ 20 fs) bond rupture starting from the steeply repulsive wall of the potential energy surface of the excited singlet state; (ii) efficient fast (≈ 200 fs) predissociation via tunneling through neighboring potential barriers; and (iii) decreasing contributions from indirect dissociations via slow (≈ 46 ps) intersystem crossing induced by spin-orbit coupling. In the case of Na · NH3, we suggest a vibrationally mediated pump-and-dump scheme, similar to the strategy of Tannor, Rice, and Kosloff, with proper control of the delay (ca. 70 fs) between ultrashort (ca. 30 fs) pump-and-dump laser pulses. Ultimately, this strategy shifts specific lobes of the vibrationally excited wave packets into a steeply repulsive wall of the potential energy surface of the electronic ground state, with subsequent fast (ca. 100 fs) ruptures of the NA(SINGLEBOND)NH3 bond, similar to effect (i) for HCo(CO)4. Finally, we show that a similar, vibrationally mediated pump-and-dump scheme may also support photodesorption of NO from Pt(111), with an intrinsic relaxation step for the electronically excited system NO/Pt(111) instead of active pump-and-dump control for Na · NH3. All strategies are simulated by fast Fourier transform propagations of representative wave packets on two potential energy surfaces. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The reaction mechanism of the α, α and α, β elimination of hydrogen fluorides from alkyl fluorides has been studied theoretically. For fluoroethane as a reactant, the transition state (TS) optimized at the level of the 6-31G** basis set shows that the α, β elimination proceeds via a four membered-ring TS with a barrier height 64.6 kcal/mol, while the α, α elimination, via a three-membered ring TS with a 83.7 kcal/mol barrier. Four substituents, CH3, CN, F, and NH2, were used to investigate the substituent effect of elimination by using the 3-21G basis set. The calculated barriers show that NH2-substituted alkyl fluorides favor both the α, α and α, β elimination and these two reactions would be expected to proceed simultaneously. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
