Potential energy surface scan was performed and the most stable molecular structure of the N,N-di-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-2-amino pyridine (DBAP) molecule was predicted. The most stable molecular structure of the molecule was optimized using B3LYP method with cc-pVTZ basis set. Anticancer activity of the DBAP molecule was evaluated by molecular docking analysis. The structural parameters and vibrational wavenumbers were calculated for the optimized molecular structure. The experimental and theoretical wavenumbers were assigned and compared. Ultraviolet-Visible spectrum was simulated and validated experimentally. The molecular electrostatic potential surface was simulated and Fukui function calculations were also carried out to investigate the reactive nature of the DBAP molecule. The natural bond orbital analysis was also performed to probe the intramolecular interactions and confirm the bioactivity of the DBAP molecule. The molecular docking analysis reveals the better inhibitory nature of the DBAP molecule against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein which causes lung cancer. Hence, the present study unveils the structural and bioactive nature of the title molecule. The DBAP molecule was identified as a potential inhibitor against the lung cancer which may be useful in further development of drug designing in the treatment of lung cancer. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
