Resistance to existing treatments is the basis for the search for new treatments. Some molecules such as Manzamenones have shown important antimalarial properties. These molecules belong to the family of atypical fatty acid derivatives. This work presents the relative stabilities, some reactivity properties and the privileged sites of interaction by hydrogen bond of fourteen Manzamenones and two antimalarial drugs: quinine and Artemisinin. These analyses were performed using quantum chemical calculations. We employed the two-layer ONIOM calculation method;namely ONIOM (B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p): AM1) for the fourteen Manzamenones. The geometries of the two antimalarials are calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p). The electrostatic potential (ESP) calculation of all molecules is done at the B3LYP/6-31++G (d, p) level. The formation processes of the molecules are discussed from the thermodynamic quantities we have calculated. The relative stabilities, the energies of the frontier orbitals, the energy gaps, the dipole moment, etc., are evaluated and discussed. The electrostatic potential at the molecular surface has been used to identify the sites favorable to the formation of hydrogen bonds.展开更多

For their use in the treatment of malaria, the results of these molecules are compared to those of Artemisinin and Quinine. Manzamenones are a class of atypical fatty acids. They are isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Plakortis kenyensis. The analysis of intramolecular interactions compares the results of each molecule (Manzamenones, Artemisinin and Quinine) in the non-complexed state with those of its complex with a water molecule. Thus, for the same electron donors (i) and associated acceptors (j), the electron density (ED), stabilization energy E<sup>2</sup> related to the delocalization of i to j, the energies of the NBO orbitals ε<sub>i</sub> and ε<sub>j</sub> of the donor and acceptor, respectively, and element of the Fock matrix F<sub>i,j</sub> are determined and compared. The change in E<sup>2</sup> is used to deduce whether or not the molecule is stabilized after complex formation. These analyses allowed to match each Manzamenone to one of the two antimalarials. The intermolecular interactions were analyzed, for each molecule (Manzamenones, Artemisinin and Quinine), in two complexes. These complexes are obtained with a water molecule on the one hand and with an alanine molecule on the other hand. For these interactions, the electron donor and its electron density, the electron acceptor and its electron density as well as the donor—acceptor stabilization energy have been calculated. The ONIOM 2 method is used to study Manzamenones. Theoretical calculations were done using density functional theory (B3LYP) by combining one of the two function bases 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-31+G(d,p).展开更多
