    Abstract: The compound (E)-1-benzyl-4-benzylidenepyrrolidine-2,3-dione was synthetized using Ethyl 1-benzyl-4,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate, and benzaldehyde in Ethanol/HCl medium. The isolated compound was characterized by elemental analyses, 1H and 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Suitable crystal for X-ray diffraction was obtained from slow evaporation o... Show More

    Abstract: The study of the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) of liver cancer was carried out using a series of twenty-five (25) molecules derived from thioureas. The molecular descriptors were obtained after optimization of all these molecules at the B3LYP/6-31+ G (d, p) computational level. The multiple linear regression (MLR) method was u... Show More

    Abstract: The interactions between two flavanols (Catechin and Epicatechin) and (Ala) Alanine (aliphatic amino acid) are evaluated by theoretical chemistry methods. Calculations at the level DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G (d, p) determine their characteristics and those of the monomers. Geometric, energetic, and spectroscopic parameters in addition to QTAIM (Quantum Theor...
