A copper(II) aminopyrimidinone complex: X-ray crystallography, computational analysis, dielectric spectroscopy and molecular docking

Abstract

A new copper(II) complex with 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-(1H)-one, [Cu(C₅H₇N₃O)₄](NO₃)₂·H₂O (Cupyrim), has been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The Cu(II) is four-coordinate in a square planar geometry by four nitrogen atoms of the four organic ligands. Hirshfeld Surface Analysis was conducted to understand crystalline packing. Overall, the structure is maintained by metal coordination as well as strong and weak (C,N)–H···O hydrogen bonds and C–H…π interactions. The IR spectrum primary peaks have been assigned to the vibration modes of the ligand functional groups. An investigation of the inhibitory properties of Cupyrim toward “Cyclin-dependent Kinase 2” (CdK2) and “inducible nitric oxide synthase” (iNOS) proteins was aided by molecular docking research. According to molecular docking, Cupyrim exhibits promising inhibitory efficacy against Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disorders. The temperature dependence of the real and imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity was analyzed with the Cole-Cole formalism as well as DSC diagrams from 45-147 °C.
