Flavonoids are a group of polyphenolic compounds known to possess good radical scavenging activity. It was also shown that their anti/prooxidant properties strongly structure‐dependent and can be modified by metal ion binding. The structural parameters appear key factors during DNA‐binding abilities. This work deals with spectroscopic theoretical studies two flavonoids, baicalein scutellarein, alone, in the presence redox‐active Cu(II). Cu(II) is catalytic active Fenton‐like reactions...

Abstract New type of cytotoxicity descriptors based on Cu(II) coordination ability p ‐substituted phenols and subsequent O→Cu electron density transfer is introduced. Geometries their complexes are optimized at the DFT level theory. The amount evaluated using copper charge or Laplacian Cu−O bond critical point. Cu‐phenol interaction energy a measure phenol reactivity. Statistical parameters for linear dependence published data above predictors much better than classical ones.

Abstract The structures of camptothecin (CPT) lactone form and its complexes with Cu(II) were optimized at B3LYP/6-311G* level theory. Their electronic evaluated via QTAIM topological analysis electron density Mulliken population analysis. Stability, distribution geometrical factors the systems compared. Both CPT nitrogen atoms show lower affinity to compared oxygen ones. atom in ring one neighbouring carbonyl group highest stability Cu-CPT which indicates most probable reaction sites.

Abstract Here we present three distinct machine learning (ML) approaches (TensorFlow, XGBoost, and SchNetPack) for docking score prediction. AutoDock Vina is used to evaluate the inhibitory potential of ZINC15 in‐vivo in‐vitro‐only sets towards SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease. The set (59 884 compounds) ML training (max. 80%), validation (5%), testing (15%). (174 014 evaluation prediction capability trained models.

Options to improve the extrapolation power of neural network designed using SchNetPack package with respect top docking scores prediction are presented. It is shown that hyperparameter tuning atomistic model representation (in schnetpack.representation) improves scoring compounds, which have characteristically a low incidence in randomized data sets for training machine learning models. The robustness evaluated according mean square error (MSE) and entropy average loss landscape decrease....

Abstract Geometries of camptothecin, irinotecan, SN-38, and their hypothetical Cu(II) complexes were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G* level theory. Their electron structure, evaluated in terms Mulliken population analysis Quantum Theory Atoms-in-Molecule, was subsequently related to vitro cytotoxicity.

The structures of camptothecin (CPT) in neutral lactone (I), carboxyl (II) and anionic carboxylate (III) forms singlet ground states their complexes with Cu(II) doublet were optimized at B3LYP/6-311G* level theory. Metal ion affinities (MIA), Cu charges Laplacians Cu-ligand bond critical points possible CPT active sites evaluated. In most cases the electron density transfer from form III causes CO2 release thus its termination. MIA values indicate that this exhibits significantly higher...
