چکیده

In this paper xanthine (C5H4N4O2 , MW=152) drug (M1) as a parent molecule and three of its dimethyl substituted isomers , namely, 3,7-dimethylxanthine (M2) 1,3-dimethylxanthine (M3) and 1,7-dimethylxanthine (M4) of formula (C7H8N4O2, MW = 180), were investigated using electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry (MS) at 70 eV. Semi-empirical MO-calculations , PM3 procedure, have been carried out on the drugs as neutral molecule and its corresponding molecular ion. These include molecular geometry (bond length), bond order, charge distribution on different atoms, heat of formation (?Hf) and ionization energy. The mass spectral fragmentation pathways of the parent molecule (M1) and the isomeric molecules (M2-M4) were proposed. All compounds dissociate in the gas phase by common pathways, initiated in the same site of bond rupture resulting a loss of imide group. Subsequently, a loss of CO followed by HCN, and formation of different fragment ions depends on the isomeric position of the methyl groups . The PM3 procedure provides information of initial bond cleavage and subsequent fragmentation of the molecules. Finally, the influence of CH3 groups in different isomeric position via the two rings of xanthine caused by significant electron-donating of this group were discussed.

Investigation of naproxen drug using mass spectrometry, thermal analyses and semi-empirical molecular orbital calculation

s: Zayed, rabian J Abstract Naproxen (C14H14O3) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is important to investigate its structure to know the active groups and weak bonds responsible for medical activity. In the present study, naproxen was investigated by mass spectrometry (MS), thermal analysis (TA) measurements (TG/DTG and DTA) and confirmed by semi empirical molecular orbital (...

Structure investigation of codeine drug using mass spectrometry, thermal analyses and semi-emperical molecular orbital (MO) calculations.

Codeine is an analgesic with uses similar to morphine, but it has a mild sedative effect. It is preferable used as phosphate form and it is often administrated by mouth with aspirin or paracetamol. Therefore, it is important to investigate its structure to know the active groups and weak bonds responsible for its medical activity. Consequently in the present work, codeine was investigated by ma...
