Abstract [en]

The aim of this research is to investigate the quantum geometric properties and chemical reactivity of atropine, a pharmaceutically active tropane alkaloid. Using density functional theory (DFT) computations with the B3LYP/SVP functional theory basis set, the most stable geometry of atropine was determined. Additionally, a variety of energetic molecular parameters were calculated, such as the optimized energy, atomic charges, dipole moment, frontier molecular orbital energies, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, molecular electrostatic potential, chemical reactivity descriptors, and molecular polarizability. To determine atropines inhibitory potential, molecular docking was used to analyze ligand interactions within the active pockets of aldo-keto reductase (AKR1B1 and AKR1B10). The results of these studies showed that atropine has greater inhibitory action against AKR1B1 than AKR1B10, which was further validated through molecular dynamic simulations by analyzing root mean square deviation (RMSD) and root mean square fluctuations (RMSF). The results of the molecular docking simulation were supplemented with simulation data, and the ADMET characteristics were also determined to predict the drug likeness of a potential compound. In conclusion, the research suggests that atropine has potential as an inhibitor of AKR1B1 and could be used as a parent compound for the synthesis of more potent leads for the treatment of colon cancer associated with the sudden expression of AKR1B1.
