Dipole Moments of the Bioactive Constituents Present in Flutab Drug by Ab-Initio Calculations

Abstract

Many of the technology and computational chemistry applications are used to study drugs and their biological effects. Flutab® drug contains Paracetamol, Diphenhydramine and Pseudoephedrine. Ab-initio calculations were performed at DFT/B3LYP and HF methods with three basis sets, namely, STO-3G, 3-21G, and 6-31G(d) in order to calculate the dipole moments of the three constituents of Flutab® drug. The Diphenhydramine compound was found to be the most stable constituent, with the lowest value of dipole moment.
