ABSTRACT

(3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (Perospirone) is an atypical or second-generation antipsychotic of the azapirone family that antagonizes serotonin 5HT2A receptors and dopamine D2 receptors. It also displays affinity towards 5HT1A receptors as a partial agonist. It was introduced in Japan by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma in 2001 for the treatment of acute and chronic schizophrenia and acute cases of bipolar mania. It is commonly present as the hydrated hydrochloride salt form. Classified as a neuroleptic agent, perospirone is shown to be effective against positive, negative and general symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. It’s synonyms are cis-N-(4-(4-(1,2-Benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboximide and SM-9018.

INTRODUCTION

(3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (Perospirone) is mainly used for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute cases of bipolar mania. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) is a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor inverse agonist and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist based on receptor binding experiments that binds to both receptors with high affinity. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) is also a partial agonist at 5-HT1A receptors which are autoreceptors that stimulate the uptake of 5-HT and inhibit 5-HT release. It also interacts with D4 receptors and α₁- adrenergic receptors as an antagonist, as well as histamine H1 receptor an inverse agonist. Binding to these receptors may explain sedative and hypotensive actions. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) binds to D1 receptors with low affinity and minimal clinical significance. Antagonism at D2 receptors is believed to relieve the positive symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorders. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) targets the mesolimbic patway to reverse the overactivity of the dopaminergic signalling via D2 receptors. 5-HT2A antagonism is thought to allevaite the negative symptoms and cognitive impairments of

play a role in dopamine release regulation. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) targets these receptors in the nigrostriatal pathway to reduce dopamine release and function. In contrast, 5-HT2A receptor antagonism may improve the negative symptoms by enhancing dopamine and glutamate release in the mesocortical pathway. 5-HT1A receptor activation further inhibits the release of 5-HT into the synaptic cleft. Plasma protein binding ratio is 92% with extensive binding to serum albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) undergoes rapid and extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver; the metabolic pathways involve hydroxylation, N-dealkylation, and S-oxidation, which are catalyzed by CYP1A1, 2C8, 2D6, and 3A4. CYP3A4 is reported to have highest level of contribution in perospirone metabolism. Hydroxyperospirone is formed from hydroxylation of the the cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboximide moiety and retains pharmacological action by mediating antiserotonergic effects, although with lower affinity. (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) using Gauss view program packages at the Becke3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) level with standard 6-31G basis set.DFT computational codes are used in practise to investigate the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of molecules, materials and defects. DFT calculations allow the prediction and calculation of material behaviour on the basis of quantum mechanical considerations, without requiring higher order parameters such as fundamental material properties. DFT computational methods are applied for the study of systems to synthesis and processing parameters. In such systems, experimental studies are often encumbered by inconsistent results and non-equilibrium conditions. Examples of contemporary DFT applications include studying the effects of dopants on phase transformation behaviour in oxides, magnetic behaviour in dilute magnetic semiconductor materials.

The optimized geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (Perospirone) were obtained by the Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) density functional theory (DFT) with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using 6-31G basis set. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for (3aR, 7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) were calculated and the scaled values have been compared with experimental values of FTIR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement.

The DFT calculated HOMO and LUMO energies shows that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. DFT calculations allow the prediction and calculation of material behavior on the basis of quantum mechanical considerations, without requiring higher order parameters such as fundamental material properties.

IR and Raman Frequencies

Infrared and Raman spectra of different crystalline forms of the same organic compound can be used to identify a pure crystal form and quantify a mixture of two forms. Many organic compounds have one or more crystalline or polymorphic forms. The observed differences in the spectra of different polymorphs include changes in frequencies, relative intensities, band contours and the number of bands.The IR and Raman spectra of (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) an antipsychotics compound have been computed optimized geometrical structure of pharmaceutical compound (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) were also evaluate from the calculation of intensities. Then the following figures show the calculated IR and Raman spectra of Optimized geometrical structure (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ).These calculations were done by using B3LYP/6˗31G methods.

FIG.3 Spectrum of Raman Energy and Dipole Moment

Dipole moment, the measure of the electrical polarity of a system of chargesThe electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity.Bond dipole moment of Optimized geometrical structural compound is the measurement of polarity of a chemical bond and also known as the mathematical product of the separation of the ends of a dipole and the magnitude of the charges. The dipole moment creates by unequal sharing of electron in optimized geometrical molecules by their atoms. Dipole moment and energy of the medically active compound (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) is shown in following table:- 27.211eV = 2625kJ/mol = 627.5kcal/mol.)

Molecular Orbital Energies

The most important orbitals in a molecule are the frontier molecular orbitals, called highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).These orbitals determine the way the molecule interacts with other species. The frontier orbital gap helps characterize the chemical reactivity and kinetic stability of the molecule. A molecule with a small frontier orbital gap is more polarizable and is generally associated with a high chemical reactivity, low kinetic stability and is also termed as soft molecule. HOMO and LUMO are types of molecular orbitals. The acronyms stand for "highest occupied molecular orbital" and "lowest unoccupied molecular orbital", respectively. The energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO is termed the HOMO–LUMOgap. HOMO and LUMO are sometimes called frontier orbitalsin frontier molecular orbital theory. The difference in energy between these two frontier orbitals can be used to predict the strength and stability of transition metal complexes, as well as the colors they produce in solution. Energy levels of the frontier molecular orbital‘s especially HOMO, LUMO as well as their spatial distributions are important parameters for determining the optoelectronic properties. The density plot of the HOMO and LUMO of (3aR,7aS)-2-{4-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl}-octahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione ( Perospirone ) is calculated at B3LYP/6-31G level of theory and are shown in Figure;

FIG.4HOMO

FIG. 5LUMO

The energy gap between HOMO and LUMO has been used to prove the bioactivity from intermolecular charge transfer. The energy gap measures the kinetic stability of the molecules. The HOMO and LUMO energy gap show the charge transfer interaction taking place within the molecule. The HOMO and LUMO energy calculated by B3LYP /6-31G method as shown below in table:-

Bond Length and Bond Angle

In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types, relatively independent of the rest of the molecule. Molecular geometries can be specified in terms of bondlengths, bond angles and torsional angles. The bond length is defined to be the average distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angleis the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. The such as bond lengths, bond angle are the optimized structural parameters , so these parameters were determined at B3LYP level theory with 6-31G basis set and they are presented in a table, which is given below –
