Abstract

This study combines experimental and computational approaches to investigate the molecular geometry and physicochemical properties of vildagliptin (VILD). Using methods such as UV-Vis, spectrofluorimetry, FTIR/Raman, and circular dichroism alongside DFT, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations, a reliable molecular model was obtained that aligns closely with X-ray crystallographic data. This model enabled accurate predictions of vibrational frequencies and systematic assignments of vibrational modes. Analyses, including Hirshfeld surface mapping, molecular electrostatic potential, HOMO-LUMO energetics, Fukui indices, and natural population analysis, provided clear insights into VILD's reactivity, while NBO and TD-DFT studies elucidated key stabilizing interactions and high-energy electronic transitions. NTO visualization further clarified orbital dynamics, and circular dichroism measurements explained the molecular basis of the Cotton effect. Additionally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the formation of stable complexes with EGFR, VEGFR2, and HER2 receptor proteins, suggesting potential anticancer activity. The main purpose of this publication is to fill existing gaps in our understanding of VILD's molecular behavior and offer a robust foundation for rational drug design and improved therapeutic strategies.

摘要

本研究结合实验和计算方法,研究维格列汀(VILD)的分子几何结构和物理化学性质。通过紫外可见光谱、荧光光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱/拉曼光谱、圆二色光谱等方法,结合密度泛函理论(DFT)、分子对接和动力学模拟,获得了一个与X射线晶体学数据高度吻合的可靠分子模型。该模型能够准确预测振动频率并对振动模式进行系统归属。包括 Hirshfeld 表面映射、分子静电势、最高占据分子轨道-最低未占据分子轨道能量学、福井指数和自然布居分析在内的分析,为维格列汀的反应活性提供了清晰的见解,而自然键轨道(NBO)和含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)研究阐明了关键的稳定相互作用和高能电子跃迁。自然跃迁轨道(NTO)可视化进一步阐明了轨道动力学,圆二色光谱测量解释了科顿效应的分子基础。此外,分子对接和分子动力学模拟证实了维格列汀与表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)、血管内皮生长因子受体2(VEGFR2)和人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)受体蛋白形成稳定复合物,表明其具有潜在的抗癌活性。本出版物的主要目的是填补我们对维格列汀分子行为理解上的现有空白,并为合理药物设计和改进治疗策略提供坚实基础。
