Abstract:U.S. FDA approved anti-cancer drugs, namely ribociclib and copanlisib used for treating breast cancer and follicular lymphoma, respectively, were chosen for computational study. Quantum chemical calculations via DFT and MP2 were used for energy optimization of the drugs. Chemical descriptor parameters were compared between DFT and MP2 values for each atom, and the most reactive and stable atoms were reported. To describe the reactivity and stability of the drug molecules, Fukui functions were calculated. Molec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
