ABSTRACT
The N, N'-(1,2-phenylene) bis (1- (4- chlorophenyl) methanimine) (CS4) was synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR), absorption (UV-vis) and NMR (1H and 13C) spectral analyses. The structural parameters, vibrational frequencies, potential energy and the distribution analysis (PED) were calculated by using DFT with the basis set of B3LYP/cc-pVDZ and these spectral values were compared to the experimental values. HOMO and LUMO studied were performed in order to understand the stability and biological activity of the compound. The most reactive sites on the compound were investigated by utilizing MEP energy surface and Fukui function descriptor with the natural population analysis (NPA) of the charges. The study of the natural bond orbitals (NBO) reveals the delocalization of the intramolecular interaction of the charges in the compound. Additionally, topological investigations (ELF, LOL), determination of thermodynamic parameters and noncovalent interaction (NCI) study by using topology (RDG) analysis were also carried out. Finally, the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations was carried out by examining against glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase D inhibitor receptor for distinct protein targets (3MZG).Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

ABSTRACT
The novel Schiff's base (CS6) was synthesized and confirmed by various studies. The B3LYP/cc-pVDZ basis set was used for theoretical study and the results indicated that both the theoretical and experimental studies correlated well. The interaction energy of CS6-water complex calculated by using the local energy decomposition analysis was found to be -7.28 kcal/mol. The TD-TFT method was used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectrum. This study confirmed that the observed wavelength and the simulated wavelength in the electronic spectra were almost similar. The electrophilic and nucleophilic attacking sites of the titled compound were identified by using FMO and MEP studies. The highest stabilization energy (30.19 kcal/mol) formed by LP (2) O24 to anti-bonding σ*(C18-C19) was confirmed by the NBO study. The localized and delocalized electrons were confirmed by ELF and LOL studies. The hydrogen bond interaction as well as the physical and chemical properties of CS6 indicated that it showed a moderate similarity to the drugs. The docking study confirmed that the dehydro-L-gulonate decarboxylase inhibitor (1Q6O) could interact with CS6 compound with the binding energy of -5.26 kcal/mol.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
