Conformational Properties and Putative Bioactive Targets for Novel Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: The structure assignment and conformational analysis of the thiosemicarbazones, DKI21 and DKI24, were performed through homonuclear and heteronuclear 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (2D-COSY, 2D-NOESY, 2D-ROESY, 2D-HSQC, and 2D-HMBC) and quantum mechanics (QM) calculations, using Functional Density Theory (DFT). In addition, utilizing a combination of 2D-NOESY and 2D-ROESY spectra an exo structure was established for both of the analogs. This experimental results were confirmed by theoretical mechanistic studies, as the lowest minima conformations derived through DFT calculations were compatible with the spatial correlations observed in the 2D-NOESY and 2D-ROESY spectra. Finally, molecular binding experiments were performed to detect the potential targ
