Abstract
Piroctone olamine, an antifungal agent used in anti-dandruff cosmetics, was studied to characterize its structure and physicochemical properties, along with its complex with 2-amino-1-ethanol. Using DFT methods, geometry optimization and calculations of thermodynamic, electronic, and reactivity parameters were performed. Spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, Raman, UV–Vis, and spectrofluorimetry) supported experimental data interpretation. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed stable piroctone-protein interactions, indicating potential pharmacological relevance beyond antifungal activity. This research enhances understanding of 1-hydroxy-2-pyridinone derivatives and their broader therapeutic potential.
期刊介绍:
Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry.
We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
