Abstract
This work is aimed to investigate the structural characteristics of several open
chain enaminones, a group of organic compounds containing the conjugated system NC=
C-C=O, with the assumption that they possess two main characteristics: transportability
through biological membranes and pharmacological effects as antiepileptics by binding to
the voltage-gated sodium ion channel. To explore this possibility, density functional
calculations were used to find the minimum energy conformations of nine candidate
molecules. The conformational analysis was carried out by comparing the characteristics
of the structures based on graphical and superposition techniques.
