Computational notes on the molecular modeling analyses of flutamide
Flutamide is one of the recommended and important drug for treating prostate cancer. In spite of this there some scientific reports that recommending against this drug according to some side effects. This is in turn paves the way towards investigating electronic properties of the drug with conventional molecular modeling methods. So that, density functional theory at B3LYP as well as Hartree-Fock HF together with PM3 were utilized to study the drug. Some important parameters are computed in this computational note including total dipole moment, HOMO/LUMO band gap energy and the contour of molecular electrostatic potential in order to map the active sites of the studied drug in terms the charge distributions. Finally, the infrared assignment of the flutamide is introduced based on B3LYP model.
