In this work, a computational chemical study of the naratriptan was carried out at the X/DGDZVP (where X = B3LYP, M06, M06L and ?B97XD) level of theory, the results suggest the existence of two possible conformers in the aqueous phase. The evaluation of the global and local reactivity descriptors indicates that both conformers show the same chemical behaviour. The docking studies reveal that both conformers bind to TYR359 residue of the 5HT1B receptor. Also, the first conformer binds to the receptor through THR209 and THR213 while the second one through THR209 and SER 212.

We have calculated global and local DFT reactivity descriptors for isoproturon, diuron, linuron, and chlorotoluron herbicides at the MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. The results suggest that, in aqueous conditions, chlorotoluron, linuron, and diuron herbicides may be degraded by elimination of urea moiety through electrophilic attacks. On the other hand, electrophilic, nucleophilic, and free radical attacks on isoproturon may cause the elimination of isopropyl fragment.

The KID (Koopmans in DFT) procedure usually applies in organic molecules of the closed–shell type. We used the KID procedure in an open–shell system for the first time to choose the most suitable density functional to compute global and local reactivity descriptors coming from the Conceptual Density–Functional Theory. From a set of 18 density functionals spread from the second until the fourth rung of the Jacob’s ladder: BP86, B97-D, BLYP, CAM-B3LYP, M06-L, M11-L, MN12-L, B3LYP, PBE0, N12-SX, M06-2X, M11, MN12-SX, CAM-B3LYP, LC-ωHPBE, ωB97X-D, APFD, MN15 and MN15-L, we concluded that CAM-B3LYP provides the best outcome.
