Abstract

Heteroassociation of antibacterial antibiotic norfloxacin with aromatic vitamins nicotinamide and flavin mononucleotide in aqueous solution was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy (500 MHz). Equilibrium constants, induced proton chemical shifts, and thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS) for the reactions of heteroassociation of the molecules were determined on the basis of the concentration and temperature dependences of proton chemical shifts for interacting aromatic molecules. The analysis of the results obtained indicates the formation of heterocomplexes between vitamin molecules and norfloxacin owing to stacking interactions between aromatic chromophores and additional intermolecular hydrogen bonding in norfloxacin-nicotinamide. The most probable spatial structures of 1:1 norfloxacin-flavin mononucleotide and norfloxacin-nicotinamide heterocomplexes were determined by molecular modeling methods using X-PLOR software on the basis of analysis of induced proton chemical shifts.
