Abstract
En 中文
A comprehensive MD + QC methodology was developed and applied to evaluate various aspects of Arbidol interactions with functional amino acids of surface proteins of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2. The spatial structure, solvation features, conformational behavior of Arb AA (AA-Trp, Tyr, Phe, and Val) complexes were established, and the statistics of intermolecular interactions in the complex were described. It was found that Arb can participate in strong and long-lived pi-pi stacking interactions with aromatic amino acids. The binding energy (BE) of Arbidol and amino acids in aqueous solution was estimated using an explicit solvation model, QTAIM analysis and correlation of BE vs. total electron density at the bond critical points of the complex. Theoretical calculations were validated by experimental studies of fluorescence (FL) quenching of aromatic AA by Arbidol. Spectral-fluorescent properties of Arbidol hydrochloride in aqueous solutions were studied, and the luminescence quantum yield for the electronically excited state of Arb was determined.
