Theoretical B3LYP Study on Electronic Structure of Contrast Agent Iopamidol

Abstract

Nonionic low-osmolar contrast agents are thought about safe for intravenous or intra-arterial administration. Iopamidol is one of the contrast agents used for diagnostic clinical computed tomography (CT) protocols last four decades years. The molecular structure of Iopamidol was calculated by the B3LYP density functional model with the LANL2DZ basis set by the Gaussian program. The natural bond orbital analysis in terms of the hybridization of atoms and the electronic structure of the title molecule have been analyzed by using the data obtained from the quantum chemical results. First-order hyperpolarizability (βtot), the dipole moment (μ) and polarizability (α) and anisotropic polarizability (Δα) of the molecule have been reported. HOMO and LUMO energies and parameters related to energies, and dipole moment, polarizability and hyperpolarizability show minor dependences on the solvent polarity. The hardness of Iopamidol decreases with increasing solvent polarity. The stability of the Iopamidol contrast agent with the hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital analysis. In addition, thermodynamic properties were obtained in the range of 200–1000 K.

Quantum Chemical Benchmark Study on Valdecoxib, a Potent and Selective Inhibitor of COX-2, and its Hydroxylated Derivative

“…As the synthesis and bioactivity screenings of new drug candidates have increased significantly, the demands for the early determination of ADMET properties are also increasing. On the other hand, today, computer-aided quantum chemical calculations are frequently used to predict the values of interest for a particular molecule without performing experimental studies [14,15]. Therefore, the use of quantum chemical computational methods is very advantageous both to save time and to focus on the most promising drug candidates.…”

Effect of the Al Doping on the Sensing Behaviour of Carbon Nanotubes Toward Carbazochrome: a Computational Study

“…CNTs have been recognized as promising delivery vectors for cancer diagnosis and chemotherapies due to their unique properties such as pH-dependent therapeutic unloading and long circulation time, as well as high loading capacity, efficient membrane transport, and chemotherapies . The use of density functional theory (DFT) has become widespread over the years in many branches of chemistry, in the study of the reaction mechanism, in the calculation of the electronic properties of different solvents, The relationship between the structures and photophysical properties of complexes (Odame 2018, Genç et al 2021, Zheng et al 2019. Because experimental methods are more expensive and time consuming, computational methods can fill an important gap in this field and provide significant details about host-guest interactions between Carbon nanotubes and drug molecules.…”
