Study of Interactions Between 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1, 2-benzothiazine and Human DNA by Theoretical, Spectroscopic and Viscometric measurements

From the last few years mode of interactions between drugs and DNA is an attractive research area as it bridges chemistry, molecular biology and medicinal science. Interactions between small heterocyclic molecules and human DNA is a noteworthy feature in pharmacology for investigation of drugs mechanism and designing of more effective and target specific drugs with fewer side effects. The present research work focuses on the theoretical investigations of 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1, 2-benzothiazine (SASA) by using Gaussian (16 W) software to predict optimized geometry, HOMO–LUMO gap, bond length, bond angle, dihedral angle, electronic and vibrational spectra. Possible reaction site observed in SASA was C 7, C 9 and C 18 as these atoms show maximum charge density. Later the interactions of SASA with human DNA was explored spectroscopic investigations and viscometric investigations at physiological buffers of pH of 4.7 (stomach pH) and 7.4 (blood pH) respectively. Maximum absorbance between SASA-DNA complex was observed in buffer solution of pH 3.4 at wavelength of 370 nm, whereas at 7.4 has maximim absorbance between. Spectroscopic results reflects the bathochromic and hyperchromic shift succeeding the addition of human DNA. During viscosity measurement, intercalation and electrostatic mode of interaction were detected at low and high concentration of drug in solution respectively. Increase in the value of rate constant was observed with the increase in concentration of drug. Larger values of rate constant were observed at pH 7.4 in comparison to pH 3.5. Rate constant, thermodynamic parameters and viscometric analysis prefers the intake of SASA via blood.
