Çınar, Mehmet; Can, Sümeyra
Labetalol is an antihypertensive agent that possesses both α- and β-adrenergic blocking properties. This characteristic allows for its clinical use in both chronic hypertension and hypertensive emergencies. In this study, the FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1 H, 13 C, and DEPT-135 NMR spectra of labetalol hydrochloride (Labetalol HCl) were recorded and examined. Furthermore, the pharmacologically active (R, R) stereoisomer of labetalol was theoretically investigated using the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set. The theoretically determined ground-state geometry of the molecule showed excellent agreement with experimental data reported in the literature. Using the obtained optimized structure, the vibrational spectra of the molecule were simulated, and the vibrational modes were assigned by evaluating them together with the experimental data. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis of the molecule was performed considering experimentally recorded values and calculations for gas phase, DMSO, and chloroform solvent environments, and the chemical shift values for each H and C atom were determined. Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and Solvation Model based on Density (SMD) approaches, the UV-Vis spectra of the molecule were obtained in the gas phase and in four different solvent environments (ethanol, methanol, DMSO, and water). To better understand the electronic properties of the molecule, Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMO), Molecular Electrostatic Potential Surface (MEPS), Hirshfeld surface analysis, Mulliken and Hirshfeld charge distributions, and Density States (DoS) analyses were performed. In addition, the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of the molecule were theoretically calculated, and the results showed that the molecule could be a promising NLO candidate.

Context: The structural and spectroscopic properties of drug groups can be determined using spectroscopic techniques and quantum chemical calculations. In this study, the structural and spectroscopic properties of nicardipine, a potent calcium channel blocker belonging to the dihydropyridine drug group, were investigated. For this purpose, FT-IR, Raman, NMR, and UV–Vis spectra of nicardipine hydrochloride were recorded. The ground state geometry optimization performed under vacuum conditions showed excellent agreement with X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, with root-mean-square deviations of bond lengths and bond angles calculated as 0.017 Å and 2.2°, respectively. Vibrational spectrum analysis revealed all characteristic modes, and theoretical B3LYP predictions largely agreed with experimental data. NMR spectra recorded in chloroform solvent confirmed the molecular structure of nicardipine. A comparison with previously reported data revealed significant differences in the proton NMR results, while the carbon NMR data showed consistency. The gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method, commonly used for NMR spectrum prediction, yielded results within an acceptable error range despite minor inconsistencies arising from differences between experimental and computational conditions. In the UV–Vis spectrum of nicardipine HCl, an absorption peak corresponding to π-π* excitation was observed at 238 nm. Method: The geometric optimizations and vibration spectra of the nicardipine drug molecule were performed using the Gaussian 09 program with the B3LYP functional and the 6–311 + + G(d,p) basis set. Visualizations were performed using the GaussView 5.0 interface program. NMR spectra were recorded in chloroform solvent using the GIAO method. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps and Mulliken atomic charges were analyzed to gain deeper insight into the electronic properties.
